Absolutely... furthermore, wear ear plugs that way when you break the sound barrier, it will sound very quiet to you and you'll think you successfully deployed the "silent but deadly" bomb.
So if it was too easy, then they would have adjusted the curve for that particular test right? So in the end even if it was easy or hard you still may have failed because the bar was raised. So in turn, if this round is really brutal, everyone will be in the same boat and the curve will adjust. So it doesn't seem to matter as long as a person has prepared appropriately and is competent with the topics presented. Seems like that would make sense anyway.
I hope this is true. The pass rates from April for civil don't seem to be much different then previous exams.
If I'm not studying or thinking about the exam, then I'm dreaming about it! I had a nightmare last night that during the morning portion of the exam we got a break after 2 hours. After I got back from the break, the proctors had taken all my references and put them on bookshelves (along with thousands of other books) that encompassed the room, so I could not find them. I started freaking out because I was running out of time, I had only completed 20 of the breadth questions, and I did not have my references. I told the proctors that if they did not give me by books back, nobody in the building was going to finish the exam, I was calling NCEES, and all exams would be invalidated lol. Then I woke up. The PE exam has consumed my life!
LOL! Well my first reaction to that nightmare is that you better work a little faster through the problems if you did exactly half of breadth section in exactly half the time! :laugh: I am right there with you, I can't remember that last decent night of sleep I got, I lay there with random charts and tables popping into my head and start thinking about why I randomly thought of those and when I would actually need them and then it usually goes downhill pretty quickly after that! I do like that idea though about musical chairs with our references, that would make things interesting!
It is too bad we do not live closer to each other so that we could've studied together, sounds like we have similar study habits and commitment to passing! Make sure you get some good rest tomorrow. You know all that you need to know, just let your brain do some resting before it gets the sh*t beat out of it Friday! Cheers and good luck!!
