Come on South Carolina!

YES This is what happened to me exactly as well. I did not count the answers I feel sure about, but I should have, Dang. Now that I took the real exam, I feel the exam was a bit different than the NCEES practice exam or any other practice test I reviewed. So I actually have even less answers...

Thank you ngmakhlo :)

Thanks ptatohed and John QPE! It looks like I'm close. Actually after exam I felt confident I got at least 5-6 more right that I actually did. I later realized I made some silly mistakes, such as-- pulling a number from table and not reading footnote at bottom as I was rushing etc. Or missing a...

Hi Guys I just took the Transportation NCEES practice exam and I got 29 questions right. I was wondering how many do I need to get right to pass? I heard it varies from year to year but what is an usual range? Also I took the AM from NCEES practice and I got 31 right. So I am not sure if NCEES...

I assumed N (Number of lanes) will be 4 when I solved this problem since it says four lane freeway. So a freeway is always called by adding number of lanes in both direction? I thought they were giving the number of lanes in analysis direction, afterall the freeway directions operate...

I'm with you  :D

I have a question about the R-values mentioned in the syllabus.  VIII. Geotechnical and Pavement  A. Sampling and testing (e.g., subgrade resilient modulus, CBR, R-Values, field tests) In pavement design chapter of my book there are two different definitions for R. In one place it says R is...

I didn't get an email yet, but it available to download at https://account.ncees.org/ under my dashboard

Thanks John QPE! 

I need your help to understand if I am covering these two topics from the NCEES syllabus as I should. These are two topics under Traffic Engineering- Topic I-A. Uninterrupted flow (e.g., level of service, capacity) Topic I-B. Street segment interrupted flow (e.g., level of service, running...

Awesome. I found the figure which shows the friction f to assume for a given design speed V. I didn't know that figure was there. THANKS!

I have a question. When you determine the minimum radius in first step don't you need both super elevation and friction? I am looking at the green book formula R(min)= V^2/15(e+f) what friction value are you using and why?

Thanks RBHeadge for the heads up. I will be sure to check this official version of exam rules as I do not want to surprise myself too much on the day of exam. 

Thanks Lifesucks. That makes sense. I just checked MyNCEEES account it is also saying two weeks. sounds like I will be able to download it from there if I don't get a mail

I remember NCEES said something like I'll get an exam authorization in mail before the exam when I registered. Do I have to take that with me for exam? Nothing in mail yet. Did you get yours?

I don't know what is right solution, but I assume book's way is correct because it matches with how I think~ AR is the all-red time set and displayed on all approaches. AR is theoretically meant for the vehicles to clear the intersection but it may not be what the vehicles actually take.  All...

I like this problem, I got the same answer. the way I did it Given,  Q = 63.4k - 0.46k^2 At maximum flow, dQ/dk = 0   or, 63.4 - 0.46 * 2k = 0 or k= 68.91 veh/mi (critical/optimum density) Q = 63.4 * 68.91 - 0.46 * (68.91) ^2 = 2184.54 veh/hr (maximum flow) Critical speed =  maximum flow /...

Hi Everyone, I will takeTranspo PE, but my question is on the morning breadth.  I have Dr. Mansour's books for both AM and PM. I like the AM book especially because the chapters and subsections are named and laid out in order exactly like NCEES syllabus. It helps me to track how many questions...
