Napa. I think it came on Sat, but our PO holds our mail until Monday.

Just got my letter....... AND IT'S ONE SHEET! :party-smiley-048:

I'm kind of annoyed at that stuff. It's pretty obvious that the board sold my name and address. I used my work address for the test application and thats all. Everything else (ordering books, etc) was my home address. Now I get tons and tons of pe advertising bullshit at my work. Pretty sad...

Such BS! These bastards are costing me real money by delaying my raise! :smileyballs: I think I need to get an invoice together.

Seismic here too. God that test is terrible. I thought it was a bit easier than last time though. Definitely makes it easier when that is the only test you are studying for. Sounds like they are being mailed Friday. So people should get them Sat or Mon.

All books sold! :party-smiley-048:

I heard a lot of talk that you needed first hand contractor experience to pass construction. That was what I was referring to. I did as I expected - I thought I would fail seismic.

I did construction. I thought it was fair. Something you can definitely pass just from studying.

Mailed yesterday.

I think if you pass everything it's only 1 sheet. Then add 1 sheet per failure for the diagnostics.

That's not right actually. The percentages are just the "percent of test" What they give for performance is just proficient, marginal or deficient. I got 4 marginals and 1 deficient so maybe I wasnt that far off after all.

Nope, it specifically says "You will only be given a pass or fail. No scores will be noted." I did get percentages for the individual sections though. I think I heard that is new starting with this test.

I'm in Napa.

No cut score given, just my percentages which were really bad. So you have to pay the full fee to retake just one of the tests? That sucks!
