It looks like the highest failing score posted so far with the Transportation depth module is 49/80. I got my long awaited score today and it came out to 50/80 by my calculations. Has anyone failed with a higher score than 50/80?

 
Alright, here is my diagnostic report from the test. I took the power afternoon. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

I know that nobody likes to admit failing, etc. but the last couple of result periods we got several members to post their diagnostic sheets for each discipline and we could fairly well estimate what the cut score was.
If you can scan your diagnostic and post it on this thread, we can help decipher the exam. Or just type it in.

The more the better to help figure it out too. You can research the past exams and see how we have done this.

It may not be helpful to anyone, but I know that most all wonder.

Hi DVINNY and everyone else,

I got theses scores for October 2006 Civil PE - Water Resouces Afternoon , I have resat for October 2007 and awaiting new results

Could you help me to figure out my overall score for 2006. Here is the Diagnostic results,

Breadth

Environmental 63% @20% 5/8

Geotechnical 50% @20% 4/8

Structural 88% @20% 7/8

Transportation 13% @20% 1/8

Water Resources 75% @20% 6/8

Depth

Hydraulics 64% Hydraulics, Hydrology & Water Treatment there were 26 problems @ 65%

Water Treatment 33%

Hydrology 50%

Environmental 40% @25% 4/10

Geotechnical 75% @10% 3/4

welcome to the site, you know that there is a "PEsoon2B" here, and he is a charachter to say the least, good guy but ....... Hope that won't make things difficult on ya. LOL.

I think you have the morning figured out.

23/40

As far as the afternoon,

9/14

2/6

3/6

4/10

3/4

21/40 - afternoon

TOTAL of 44/80

 
Based on my analysis [i took the test last April (first time), planning to retake it April 08]:

AM (Electrical Eng): 26 out of 40.PM (Power): 18 out of 40.

Total: 44 out of 80 (55%)
In my opinion, this was an awful performance. Let’s see if I can improve next time.

Thanks.

I am not going into the details but in order to pass the EE Power you have to have 52/80 to pass.

That estimate is based on the times I failed and how did I feel when I passed.

thanks dvinny,

I met the other character(PESOON2BE) somehow wish i could change my name to "andros". well thanks for your response.

 
You can change your name in your MY CONTROLS section, or if you want, I can change it for you. Let me know if you are serious

 
Hey all:

The following stats are from when I failed the April 2006 offering of the 8-hour. It comes out to an assumed raw score of 56/80, which is 70%. I was very upset. If anything, this should simply serve as a reminder that sometimes a raw score of 70% shouldn't be your standard. Strive to get everything correct on that test. When I failed, I knew why: I slacked off in studying my structural and transpo, and I didn't study the basic concepts of environmental (definitions and theory and such).

When I retested in October 2006, I destroyed the morning section and did very well in the afternoon (I took environmental). For those of you who came close to passing, don't give up!

Thanks for the name change DVINNY, I really appreciate it.

WOW I didnt do that well

 
Here is mine. In my opinion this confirmed what I feared going in, and how I felt at lunch, and later that night. The morning killed me, while better in the afternoon, not good enough.
