FE Result: Got 56.16 % and still says "FAIL"

[Civangineer]

I have received a 68% overall on the FE, in the state of VA, in the past and still have not passed it.

Your name is "you're wanting", and you can't play the man's game, you can't pass the FE, and then tell your wife your troubles. 'Cause only one thing counts in this world: Passing.

I am still waiting for the FE exam result of Pennsylvania. I got about 164~168 points during several mock exams. And I was told that you could pass if you can get about 70% right answer in the total of 240 points (120x1 AM, 60x2 PM).

Hope it's helpful to you

Thanks

Leon

I thought you said 77+29 correct but as far as I see you have 65+29 and that 's123 correct answers. I think you need at least 140-150 to have a chance (at least) but probably around 160-170 should do it.

 

[Bigu]

One more thing I'd like to mention. As far as I know the 70% it's not true, basically you need somewhere around 130-140 correct answers. I've been doing my research this year and I think I read on forums and spoke with 30 people. The highest score which failed it is 126 posted Today. If you know higher scores which failed let me know, but I don't want percentages.

Addtion skills need work.

My understanding that you shall get at least 165 of 240 to pass the FE exam.

Please let me know if I am wrong.

Thanks

This is the procedure:

This is how raw score is determined:

(Note: this is for old exam format which had 140 + 70 instead of 120 + 60 questions)

Alex

Thanks for your post. So approximately 70% shall be the pass rate.

Thanks

prk,

how did you study for the prob/ stats & computers? You did well on those two areas.

The question is not for me but let me add you something that helped me. I studied statistic with the 'khan academy' website and it was so helpful: http://www.khanacademy.org/. I decided to deeply study this subject since it was on my AM end PM parts.

Seems like you struggled most with the core principles (Statics, dynamics, etc.) Check out the free Texas A&M review or maybe a local review course could be a good starting place for you. Good Luck!

I did not prepare good for prob/stats. However, I studied from Linderburg and SchoolofPE.com for computer.

I studied for the subjects where I am not very good at. And did not spend a lot of time on my strengths. Your diagnostic report gives a clear picture of what you should concentrate on the next time.

Don't give up!!
