I always felt that the material was overwhelming during my previous failures. But this time during my studying I realized that there are only a finite type of problems that they can ask. I studied this time more than any other time. I followed Hiner's recommendation by solving all the problems in the textbook twice including the sample exam and the computerized practice exam. I also became very comfortable with finding the reference tables in the IBC, ASCE and Hiner textbook. And I used tabs so I would save time when I had to find the information. A friend that passed on her first attempt gave me the best advice. Do as many practice problems as possible, even repeat the same problems so you will be faster in solving similar problems during the exam. Good luck on your next attempt.
thanks CAPLS, I had checked my spam filter but forgot to check the filter on the direct email that forwards to my main email account.
Passed Survey!
Thanks CAPLS- I did check the spam and junk email folders! nothing!
Emailing the Evaluators and providing your contact info and Board ID along with your concerns, questions, etc. is the best way to contact them. That way, they can research your specific situation and provide you with an effective answer rather than not having your information right in front of them when you do call. Helps to reduce the back and forth.
Thank you very much for your help.
Interesting, I’ve been going crazy since Thursday because my result doesn’t make any sense. There is no way that I’ve performed so poorly. I really think something went wrong this month or the passing score went to 90% from 60%.
email me your contact info at [email protected] and I will look into what you said your results letter says. The Board's laws do not allow for any verification or appeal of exam results.
The Board's first board meeting after the end of the April-June administration is September 6-7. The meeting materials should include the exam results from the previous quarter.
That is pretty much what I did going in the first time. Honestly, I think I panicked a little but and got in my own head. So unfortunate. Until next time I suppose. Thanks for the response!
I should also add...that a new Test Plan Specifications was published and used beginning in April. Traditionally, test performance tends to drop a little when that happens, regardless of licensing discipline, because some candidates fail to recognize the change while others simply don't adjust for it.
