Took the exam 4 times and finally passed last go around. Don’t give up, take the EET course and make sure you know how to use your references and be familiar with your reference sections.
I got a 49/80 also.
I thought we were allowed three attempts in 4 year period. How did you attempt 4 times
Your PM score could be enough to pass, just work on getting the AM score into the 30s and you should be golden.
Sorry to hear that. What is your background? Was this your first time taking the test?
5th attempt. I took SOPE back in 2015 and used up all my 4 times. Took break for 1.5 years. And then studied on my own for 5th time. I Used same notes and videos that I had from SOPE plus material from test masters (2017) that I got from my friend. Last three times my scores have been 47, 51, and 49. I thought I did really well on PM this time. It’s just shocking to find out I got way low score than PM. I realize I am not the best test taker but this is just unbelievable. I thought I had it this time. So much time and energy and back to same point. I wish there was better system at NCEES to let us know about our performance. That diagnostic result doesn’t help much.
Truly your best bet....Samir is excellent in teaching for construction AND transportation, and you will retain the information. Best of luck!
Sorry to hear. I was fortunate enough to pass my first time (not in this session) with very little to no experience in construction. How well did you perform or comfortable in geotech? I read somewhere and found it to be true that geotech concepts covers a lot ground in a PE Civil Construction exam if you look at both the morning and afternoon topics. I worked a lot of geotech problems and maybe that made the difference for me. Good luck and don't give up.
