I vaguely remember there being some sort of straight forward correlation between the number of blow counts in the dynamic cone penetrometer test and the ultimate bearing capacity of in-situ soil? Can anyone point me to any online resources.

I passed a couple cycles ago, but I primarily used PPI2PASS Exam Café (question bank) to do a lot of practice problems. They provide pretty decent explanations on how to solve each problem as well.

...that's April 2016! :D  I hadn't logged onto the NCEES website in months and thought I should verify that my results still said Pass. Disclaimer: Not liable for the premature excitement or anxiety this post may have caused. Yes, it's trolling and yes I had to endure it too, just consider it...

I would caution in believing anything people say unless they can confirm it. I think it's fairly common knowledge that your score from the AM and PM portions are combined to determined pass/fail, so you don't necessarily have to make a specific score for each session. I would also caution people...

See my response on page 1 of the comments...

It is and is one of the reasons why I was a little disheartened when I learned I failed the first time. However, in analyzing the statistics and if you really talk to people who take the exam multiple times, you come to realize that people typically fail for 1 of 3 reasons. #1 They didn't...

I'm not familiar with the specific strategy you're referencing, but I'm assuming it's a variation of what most people will tell you or have learned from personal experience. My personal strategy was to go through all the questions and the ones I could answer without any kind of lookup or knew...

@TME600, your situation and experience sounds a lot like mine. I took WRE because of my background in stormwater, but I had no experience in wastewater collection, water treatment and water quality which made up a significant portion of the WRE depth. Even in realizing this, I didn't really put...

Sorry, I passed last spring.

I think you'll definitely pass 2nd time around. I scored 58% first time I took Civil WRE without review course and passed the 2nd time still without a review course. Focus on the areas you performed below average on and still review the other areas and you'll be fine in April.

@doubleH, no it doesn't allow you to register for an exam that you've already passed. It says "Exams of this type have already been passed"

Can we see proof of this, screen shot of diagnostics? Just trying to confirm or dispel an urban legend. In talking with some colleagues, one of which that use to serve on state licensing board, the consensus was that 55/80 typically guaranteed a passing score, though NCEES can adjust cut score...

If I recall correctly, South Carolina was released later afternoon the 2nd day after the initial mass release of scores so I predict you'll be getting the email from NCEES around 3 PM this afternoon.

Best guess is 55 +/-2

Has the PA board updated license lookup yet?

<_<

LOL, that's insanity! It's not that serious people!

And proofreaders

I don't think so??

I was actually thinking decoupling may increase the pass rate because a lot of the repeat test takers I know are people who have been out of school 8+ years and who have forgotten a lot of the theoretical content and are only strong in the area(s) they work. I think there's a certain amount of...
