I studied for SE Vertical Bridge and was a dummy participant for Lateral:

I got acceptable for Vertical and not acceptable for Lateral (which expected).

I am pretty sure I did not miss anything in the afternoon, so I would say at least 90%
I am pretty sure I missed at least 15 questions in the morning (took my chances as I had no clue) and was not sure about a couple. Say15 question completely random and 3 questions 50/50 so there is no way I got 70% in the morning, unless I was extremely lucky.

My conclusion is that average of both AM and PM matters, but we can only speculate.

I took AEI classes and highly recommend it to you all.

Congrats on passing.

I think they bell curved the AM and expected the bell curve to have 28/40 to pass. I highly doubt they would fail anyone who got 27/40 without a bell curve. If thata is the case, that is absurd.
 
Dammit, I am sorry dude. What did you feel after the exam? Did you think you were passing in the afternoon?
So this was my second time taking it and I passed lateral after 3 attempts. I felt far more confident after this test than I did when I passed lateral. I really just want to know what specifically needed improving since I answered every part of the afternoon and felt confident in all of my responses.

I got a 27/40 and A+A+IR and still failed. "absurd" is putting it lightly
 
Results Received... Unacceptable
For bridge vertical:
27/40
A + A + IR.

WTF?!
Do all three bridge questions have equal value or one of them has as much value as the the other two combined?

I'm pretty sure they do curve, I did not feel good about the morning at all.

1 and 2 are 50% of your score. 3 is 50% of your score

the thing is I got a "needs improvement" on the third question, not "unacceptable". 1 and 2 are acceptable. this is ridiculous
 
I think you can pay to have your scantron manually verified. If there is anything like this for the afternoon I would love to know...
From everything that I have read they will redo your scantron but WILL NOT redo your afternoon portion.

basically, it is equivalent to A-A-IR-IR for SE building exam.
I always thought that if I get two IR’s, I need a really good AM score, something like 35/40, which very difficult for bridge engineers.

I am sorry man. I really hope next time you're done with this test. Usually lateral is harder to pass than vertical, that's why it surprises me why wouldn't you pass vertical with a good score in AM and feeling confident in the PM.

I really appreciate that!
