    This was my last chance

    California!

    I failed. No negative consequences...Well other than being scared with the Stigma of seeing FAILED on my status. That word bothers me LOL. I still feels pretty good i guess. LOL admittedly it would feel better to have passed. All you folks that dedicated so much time to passing congratulations...

    California Failed, Post here to Determine cut score

    There is no point. I'd be willing to bet this group of test takers were exceptionally prepared and as a result performed well making the cut score fairly steep. Just speculating and bored at home on a Friday night. Well that and the group of people just all looked so smart when I went to take...

    California Failed, Post here to Determine cut score

    I'd like to know, out of simple curiosity. I got 48/80 Civil - Structural Depth. I was very surprised I did that well. The company that sponsored me, subsequently fired me 6 months before the test. As soon as I found a new job that had nothing to do with Civil Engineering I gave up on...

    CIVIL PE EXAM - HIGHEST FAILING SCORE

    FAIL = 48/80 Civil (Structural Depth) Surprising I did really well in topics I'm not competent in and poorly on stuff I thought I knew? I guess I'm a good guesser and I tend to over complicate problems. OH well...I'm never going to try this again and the License would serve me no purpose at...

    California!

    Wow all the speculation and conspiracy theories are pretty funny. @ Creber the motivational poster with Smegol it So funny. Had me laughing at work.

    Map: October 2012 Exam Results

    That's funny! 103 users are reading this topic! Guess were all a little anxious to get some results. Good or Bad. I didn't study at all so I know I did not pass but I'm still interested in the breakdown of the report.

    ACI 318 Code Equations Non-Homogeneous => Why?

    Excellent Answers. Yes I see what you did there..Ha Ha very funny.

    CERM (11th ed.) Ex. Prob. 47.3

    Thanks guys for taking the time to respond to my question. I simply botched the moment expression and forgot to divide by 2 when multiplying the resultant load times the lever arm. Somehow in my reading I missed that virtual work takes into account the members rotation too (good to know...

    ACI 318 Code Equations Non-Homogeneous => Why?

    CERM CH.50 INTRODUCTION "Many of the code equations are not homogeneous - the units of the results cannot be derived from those of the inputs." I don't know why but this bothers me and makes me cringe. How did the code end up this way?

    CERM (11th ed.) Ex. Prob. 47.3

    Well I didn't see copy and paste doing this to me.

    CERM (11th ed.) Ex. Prob. 47.3

    CERM (11th ed.) Ex. Prob. 47.3 I think the expression for the moment mp [bar AB] is incorrect and should be (0.04wL2). Can anyone else confirm this? Also I'm not sure I agree with the overall solution. Wouldn't a more accurate approach be to calculate the slope or rotation at the end of the...

    reference websites

    Thanks for sharing! The engineering videos site is exactly what I needed to help supplement the CERM chapters.

    Dead Load, Live Load, Wind Load

    Sounds like pretty slam dunkish types of questions. At my old job this was stuff we had to do on the regular as overturn for temporary sets of construction equipment was a big deal and often times live load would only contribute to counteracting the overturn moment of the wind (not always). We...

    Registration for CA Seismic/Survey Exam

    Oh snap just noticed you're in Murrieta that's right down the FWY from me. Well to be honest I'm not sure I got it right either. The fees your explaining I believe will apply to any applicants that are re-applying (as final filling date is July 30) and for all applicants on new test dates from...

    Registration for CA Seismic/Survey Exam

    I guess I was a little on edge and jumped the gun. Are you the same ptatohed as on PPI's forum? Here is why I was confused...thought they wanted more $$$. OK! A rep from CA Board Called me back and explained that the instructions on the NCEES confirmation print out regarding submitting a new...
