Where did you hear about the processing errors?

If you heard 48/80 is the cut score then I hope that is the case!  Otherwise, I've never heard of that before.  Cut scores typically range around 56-58.

If there are questions that seem confusing, send them in to ncees! The more they hear from us, the likelihood they’ll relook at the question(s). 

It usually takes about 6 weeks, so around dec 8-10. Stay tuned on here, there will be lots of activity as scores comes out.

This is my second attempt and I do not do structural engineering for a living.  I thought the morning was more difficult than in April.  I just felt it was weird overall. Too many runoff questions than I expected.  As for the afternoon, i thought it was pretty difficult for me.  I was pretty...

I agree with many of you that the AM was difficult. I took it last spring and felt this time around was just odd and different. So many theory questions and I had to reread many questions over and over again. Some were just plain confusing!

Wow! It’s monday! My apologies on all the spelling errors! *oct 2017 *Thoughts

I took the Civil PE - Structural exam last Friday. It was my second time. How did everyone feel about the exam? i thought the breadth was light on structural and heavy on water resource and geotech questions, my weakest subjects. It was quite different from last cycle’s exam which was...

I need to change how I study and think. I'm bummed I failed. For the FE, I barely studied. I went through the practice exam once and passed easily. For the PE, it feels impossible at this point, but I'm trying not to get discouraged. Everyone eventually passes right?

You don't sound bitchy at all. Lol. Thanks for the encouragement. I just hate to have to study all over again if I don't pass this time around. I get a promotion if I pass but it's nothing that's being pressured at work. It's more of my own ego that's killing me here. I'd say, I only know 1/3 of...

As I'm starting to study once again, I'm just feeling very discouraged.  Can I pass this exam?  There are Structural Engineers who cannot pass and take it multiple times.  Can someone like myself who doesn't practice Structural at work pass?  

You're right. I felt the 6 minute solutions were lengthy and not really like the ncees practice exam so I moved on. The practice exam I bought from ppi, I felt it was more accurately along with the ncees practice exam.  

I found a few books to be the best for me at studying so I kept to those few books only. I was using a couple of NCEES practice exam and Structural Depth Practice Exam from ppi by James Giancaspro. I tried some six minute solutions but didn't really find it helpful. I found these two books the...

I failed my first attempt at the Civil PE - Structural Exam this past April.  A bit of background about me: I did not graduate with a degree in Civil Engineering or Structural. I am a Biological Engineer with a focus in structural systems.  I've been working four years as an engineer in a field...

I totally bombed the pe structural; 42/80 will study harder and more. I guess it's ok for someone who has never worked as a structural engineer 

Looks like the first guy who posted his results was out of the south, lakeville area.

I hate to speculate but since the board said they sent all on Friday. I assume those who live in the St. Paul, Ramsey co, area probably got their letters before the rest of us??

I called the board and all results were mailed last Friday. It's just a matter of when they'll arrive.

My friend just got back to me. He was out of town this past weekend and got home late last night. He received his passing letter Saturday too. Makes me nervous that maybe the passing letters were mailed out first. He lives in the north suburbs and I'm right in minneapolis. Who knows...
