    Celebration?

    Ha ha. I won't quote my age. But I may take the entire office when I get there, as it will definitely be cheaper. 5k and counting. Thinking of switching afternoon depth section to construction.

    Deceptive Exam

    I never left feeling that good, but wanted to believe, on second try anyway, I had passed. So I ask yah, are we over thinking it? Are those people I've met and spoken with who passed their first try with less than 10 hours of prep geniuses? I graduated well. Because I worked at it and, used to...

    Yes, although I tabbed CERM up, I spent way too much time the first time on the heavy lifting portion of structural instead of trying to re-learn the concepts. There is a heck of a lot of stuff in CERM and searching for it ,even with a great index, is not the solution. This time I found what I...

    I called them last week, the only thing they would allow me to bring forward is my transcripts. I can't drive to MT now anyway as I  moved out of state for a position in January this year. Even if I could, the board only meets once a month to review applications, plus, I wouldn't have signed...

    For folks, who didn’t pass, what changes are you going to make in your preparation next time?

    I think I need a better test taking strategy. Am wondering if I put in too much effort and should have thought the questions were easy. Will be reading through the entire test next time, hoping that will keep the gears turning for the answers to those I skipped. Wondering if I should switch...
