I'm sorry to hear 53/80 isn't passing for Transportation. After all the speculation about how cut scores are determined, it seems that it basically takes a straight 70% (56/80) to pass.
At least you know and can begin preparing for April. We here in California have another month of waiting. The limbo of not knowing makes it tough to be motivated to crack the books.

Sorry to hear that. You'll knock it out of the park in April, no doubt.
I'm in California so I won't be getting my results until the end of the month. I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be posting in this thread again :waitwall:
ok . . . . got my results . . . failed.
my question is ~ i am TRYING to figure out my raw score . . . .
my scores went like this :
Breadth - Environmental 50
Breadth - Goetechnical 75
Breadth - Structural 88
Breadth - Transportation 63
Breadth - Water Resources 50
Hydraulics 40 (ouch!)
Hydrology 80
Water Treatment 33 (ouch!!)
Envirnomental 50
Geotechnical 75
i took the Water Resources section in the PM.
how do i figure what my score actually was?? . . . .

Mailman just got here...I failed too.
Enviro- 63
Geo- 50
Structural-50
Transportation- 63
Water Resources- 25
Transportation PM
Traffic- 89
Planning/Construction- 100
Geometric Design/Traffic Safety- 78
Geotechnical- 83
WR- 25
I think these are the splits...some of the percentages make me think that there was more than 8 for a particular question. Let me know if I'm wrong...because NCEES just let me know that I can be VERY wrong.
Subject % Right Total
Environmental 63 5 8
Geotechnical 50 4 8
Structural 50 4 8
Transportaton 63 5 8
Water Resources 25 2 8
20 40
Traffic Analysis 89 8 9
Planning/Construction 100 8 8
GeoDesign/Traf Safety78 7 9
Geotechnical 83 5 6
Water Resources 25 2 8
30 40
50/80
It would appear that my spring is going to be spent studying, especially Water Resources....

Sorry to hear about the non-passing notices. As Sapper said, many of us have been there before, especially when it seems like we were so close.
While I don't typically hotlink posts from 'the other board', I would like to share something with you from days long gone; days BEFORE there ever was an EB.com .... Classical Fail Score ("the other board")
I can't imagine who that crazy poster was ..
So you know you are in good company Take some time to think about what you did wrong but also think about what you did right too. Rather than focusing on not reaching your 'passing' score, think about how you can improve. Definitely take advantage of EB.com resources and the soon-to-be updated PEwiki by IlPadrino. Most of all - don't give up!

Ouch! 53/80. Looks like there is no mercy for anybody.
Failed by just 3 questions hurts a little.
The theory of 70% straight is serious.
Only 3 steps away to get there!!

sorry to hear about this.. i think you nailed the afternoon session.. (i personally think that i did well in the afternoon as opposed to the morning session, well thats for later).. i believe that water on this test was a little strange and unusual. it had me stumped too. so i wud say if it was for 3-4 water questions u were in. i would also pay attention to the morning transportation. since u aced the afternoon i feel the morning should have been easy for u.. well thats what i felt at least... lets us know if we can help u in any way..
good luck buddy

Thanks for the encouragement! I felt pretty great about the transportation part, considering I don't do ANY of that for my job. My plan of attack is this:
1. Set my study area back up, but in a hidden part of the house. It was in the living room last time and that was not good enough to be hidden from my two-year-old. Good thing I didn't uncrate the books!
2. Study my weak areas more than anything else. I thought I was prepared for WR, but that was not the case.
3. Get an updated version of the ASCE study CDs. I used an old version for transpo and it really seemed to work.
4. Say good-bye to another $250 plus hotel and travel and vacation time...
OR...I could start selling Avon for a living...

sounds like a sound plan!! wish you all the best.. just as a reminder.. in the morning from what i see on NCEES i don't see anything but geomertic portion of transportation.. that is no planning and traffic.. and in the afternoon it is going to be 75% of transportation instead of previous 65%.. just to give yourself a mental note about.. its good that there will be less water and misc. stuff in the PM section but more of transportation...
