Passed TFS! Thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement!

if you look back at the last few years of october tests, though, they tend to release EARLIEST on a day before the 6 week mark.... so it's more likely we get something on December 7th.

lol choosing TFS professionally has always resulted in a harder path for me. For my PhD quals, it was well known that Thermal and Fluids quals were the hardest in Mechanical Engineering, and rumored to be the hardest throughout the entire university.  Now I take the PE exam, and it's one of the...

also you're talking about the HVAC test, which i think other people also said was very simple. The "wtf" moment club belongs to all us TFS test takers... 

were you a repeat test taker? If so, did you find this test to be easier, harder, or the same as April 2017?

no that's the survey respondents only.  i think it was probably in the high 40s. that is COMPLETELY a guess though.

when someone asks me how I did on my exam:

i'm already between phase 3 and phase 4 :-P

I keep hoping that TFS in general has lower cut scores haha.  I have resorted to scouring this board for previous indications even though I know it doesn't matter.

I'm having this same thing happening to me right now. Just found out today that one of my "educated guesses" was correct.  Happy. Then found out one of my "I think this is right... right?" was wrong.  Sad.

I recall when I took a practice exam I messed up 3 or so answers simply on unit conversions.  After that I beat it into my head to make sure I answer in the correct units. For the actual test on friday, I would underline, box, triple underline (lol) the units that the question asked for.  I...

i'm a first time test taker, i'm here. here's how i felt after taking the test:

TFS? Lol, but it does seem like you're saying this October one was tougher at first glance. I looked back on some old threads and it also seemed that October ones tended to seem harder than April ones for some reason.  Probably just a coincidence.

Any repeat test-takers? Wondering if the April exam was easier/harder than the October one (Especially for TFS)

Haha, the more people jump on this boat and confirm to me that the test was harder than we thought it would be, the better I feel.  I do think if this is a consistent feeling from test takers, the cut score shouldbe lower than 70%. Let's cross our fingers. The consistent themes seem to be: -...

I should also mention that I found the TFS afternoon to be wayyyy harder than the morning. In the morning, I answered 29 questions very confidently.  3 questions were "educated guesses", but I had an inkling I was correct.  8 questions were total random guesses due to time limits. In the...

Honestly it sounds like you passed.  From your description, you confidently answered 61 questions well, guesstimated on about 10, and random guessed on 9? That should clearly take you over the 70% mark (56 questions correct) in my opinion.  For comparison, I answered 52 questions confidently...

I'm glad to hear this... not that I"m glad that you guys did "poorly", but that others also thought the test was hard as well.  I was afraid I'd be the only one. I found the exam to be definitely (not slightly, but much) harder than the practice NCEES exam. Did anyone else feel the same way?

Just a little harder? crap. hahaha, that's not good.
