    How did it go Friday?

    No clue haha.

    How did it go Friday?

    I was sitting next to you FLGEO! I was seat #2. Sorry if my wall of references got in your way, I was trying to keep them on my half of that desk. Yea our proctors sounded like they tried to get them to stop playing. They did stop for about an hour or so I think.

    Too many References!!!

    The MUTCD is free on the FHWA website, so you can't really call that a money grab. I think it shows that you are familiar with standard industry references. It was my first go around and there wasn't much in the depth that threw me for a loop. I agree it was harder than the morning, but that...

    No not those. I forgot what they are called. They are more of a gel/plastic than foam. They have a 3-4 ridges that fold over when you put them in. I got them at Gander Mountain.

    How did it go Friday?

    Yea I had some plugs we use at the rifle range, so a little better than the standard foam ones. The proctors actually gave out ear plugs for the depth portion.

    Maryland Exam Information

    There was no mention of them in FL. I actually don't recall seeing anyone get asked to leave. But I could have just been zoned in.

    How did it go Friday?

    Gotcha. I felt like I passed...so I hope that doesn't happen

    How did it go Friday?

    Have they done that in the past? It was distracting, but I could eventually zone it out.

    How did it go Friday?

    I agree. Very conceptual based in the AM. I was finished with a ton of time left, so I just used that time to review some PM stuff. PM seemed to rely heavily on the references. I'm glad I practiced with the references instead of just School or PE notes. We had a rock band practicing next...

    Last Week - Any advice?

    Thanks for all the advice. I got rocked with the flu Friday and missed studying all weekend. I was able to power through half of a depth exam Monday and got 18/20, so that calmed my nerves. I was getting worried about missing the last weekend, but after scoring that well I got my confidence back.

    Vertical Curves Question

    That could only work if L was the horizontal distance between PC and PT. L is the actual length on the curve. When you subtract the T from L, you basically are making up for that "extra" distance only L would show. Not sure if that helps, but to be honest, you will probably be fine with the CERM...

    Vertical Curves Question

    The problem you attached is for a horizontal curve, not vertical. But PVCsta=PVIsta-L/2

    Over/Under for Questions on the Green Book/HCM/MUTCD?

    Based on the NCEES...id say closer to 30. Maybe 29.5

    Last Week - Any advice?

    Thanks. I actually got a hotel near the testing center, even though I live about 30 minutes away. I don't want to risk my 17 month old daughter deciding the night before the test she doesn't want to sleep!

    Last Week - Any advice?

    We have about a week left until the exam day. Any advice from previous test takers for this last week? I am taking a practice depth exam this weekend and plan to crank out as many problems as I can through Sunday. I plan to use the practice test to help me figure out where I need to fine tune. I...

    Free Flow Speed

    That makes sense. If they give you FFS then you don't need the equation at all. You just go straight into finding flow rate and then density.

    Free Flow Speed

    Yea I heard that about School of PE as well. I actually saw their depth notes from previous classes, and the version we got for this test is much more thorough. I have a friend that took and passed with TestMasters last fall, and his notes are very similar. His biggest advice was to tab like...

    Free Flow Speed

    Yea I have mostly old ones and the most recent one from ncees. I'll be taking that one this weekend to figure out where I need to fine tune my last bit of studying.
