I failed Civil Transpo and would LOVE to know the cut score. If enough people calculate and post their scores, we can home in on it. Assume 8 questions in each of the 5 AM topics. For PM, use following percentages of questions (from NCEES 2008 Sample Questions & Solutions, pp. 21-22):
Traffic Analysis 22.5% (9 questions); Geom Dgn: 30% (12 questions); Transp Planning 7.5% (3 questions); Traffic Safety 15% (6 questions); Other Topics 25% (10 questions). As an example, here is my calculation:
AM:
Construction, 20% of session (8 questions) x 63% (from diagnostic) = 5 correct
Geotech, 20% of session (8 questions) x 38% = 3 correct
Structural 20% of session (8 questions) x 88% = 7
Transp 20% of session (8 questions) x 100% = 8
WR & Env, 20% of session (8 questions) x 88% = 7
Total AM 30 correct out of 40 (75%)
PM:
Traf Anlys, 22.5% of session (9 questions) x 67% (from diagnostic) = 6 correct
Geom Dgn, 30% of session (12 questions) x 75% = 9
Transp Plan, 7.5% of session (3 questions) x 67% = 2
Traf Safety, 15% of session (6 questions) x 17% = 1
Other, 25% of sessions (10 questions) x 40% = 4
Total PM 22 correct out of 40 (55%)
Total exam 52/80 (65%) = FAIL
I did not finish the PM and had to guess at about 10, which is reflected in the above results, espcially the last two areas (Traffic Safety and Other).
