What are your Non-Passing Scores? Too soon?

[leggo PE]

I thankfully do not have to give a civil structures score cause this time I PASSEEEED!!! So Happy! I got a 50 in October. Honestly the morning saved me this time. I studied my butt of for the morning and felt good. That afternoon seemed really rough!

Congrats!!

Say what now?  No one ever gave me extra points for having boobs.




The only benefit to being a female in engineering school was never having to wait in line for the bathroom

I agree.  Never having to wait for a bathroom was great.  

However, I went to a conference last year where the organizers converted the large women's bathroom into a men's room and forced us to use the "family" stalls.

The women's bathroom line was pretty short compared to the men's after the morning section of the exam.

having had participated in the meeting to determine what is passing I can promise you it is not a guaranteed 70%, there is a lot that goes into it.

Feel free to read about it here: http://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2012_AM_Understanding_Exam_Dev.pdf

It would have been fun to be a fly on the wall in that meeting.

It was pretty awesome to be part of it and to get an understanding/appreciation of all the work that is put into creating the exam. I highly recommend being part of it later on.

Yes and as a veteran and PE (outside of GA) I think it is a ridiculous rule.

Yes and as a veteran and someone who hopes to be a PE (inside GA) I gladly gave them a valid DD-214 for those bonus points!

Well without veterans, there would be no PE test.  I'm thankful for you men and women.  I'm glad your state offers that to you.  Thank you for your service and happy memorial day

Ditto on that. Construction is a beast. 42/80

Environmental here...looks like I scored in the 50s?  Just judging by the diagnostics.  Ooof.  Well, at least I didn't fail by a point.  I think that would have been worse.

FAILED.  AWESOME - waste of 100's of hours and $1,000's of dollars.  I'm sick

Not a waste. You've got the experience behind you now and can tune your studying to better prepare for next time! Also, it's the downs in life that make us appreciate the ups. Hard work and failure is good for us. Keep your head up and stay positive!

Anyone hear anything from Minnesota? Are they typically later?

45/80 - structures killed me too. Last time I took it, I scored a 50/80 - I was really hoping for a slide in the other direction.

How can I work so hard, score well on practice tests and then completely bomb out on test day? I have never had this problem, until this stupid test. 

I want to take it again, just to show my kids that you should always persevere...but I don't know if I can handle going through it all again.

I feel your pain on that one. So much money and time gone. If I had screwed around with my time I'd be less upset, but I actually put my all into it. 1000% effort and now to start over, but also know to double the effort. BUT! We will prevail. And victory will be that much sweeter....In 7 months.... I'm giving myself the day to wallow and then I'm enjoying the weekend and jumping back in.
