I was hoping to get some feedback from some of you about switching discipline from construction to geotech. I have 3 exam failures all of which are about 10 questions short of passing. I work in the field of railroad signal construction and rarely practice where calculations are necessary. To add to the difficulty I've been out of school for 25 years.
Although I have little trouble understanding the concepts and I'm thoroughly a seasoned field professional;I do struggle with the math. I also seem to be doing exceedingly better in the Geotech areas and I enjoy the subject more. I do hold General Contractors, plumbing and mechanical license in multiple States; which I passed each one on the 1st attempt.
I would welcome opinions from you engineers who have more knowledge of the test content. Does the Geotech have less math and do you think it wise to switch at this point?
Thanks in-advance for your help! I'm struggling.
