I took the WR Depth module this time. Previously I had taken the Environmentmal Depth module because I thought that my education and background would lend itself to that, but really it didn't. I simply cannot handle the wastewater problems like I used to - even with my references. I scored 69 twice ... twice !!! :hung:
I found this Oct 2006 WR Depth portion of the exam to be a mixed bag. On one hand I felt like I was able to at least get a good start on many of the problems. However, I felt like my preparation for the topics was WAY OFF and I got hung up on a number of problems that I "knew" how to do.
All-in-all, I ended up finding most of my errors on the "workable" problems and running out of time before getting to 5 problems. Those 5 problems I had to make completely random guesses. In my humble opinion, I felt that many of the quantitative problems were fair, but that most of the qualitative problems were out of left field.
I have always griped that this exam format (8 hrs, multiple chioce, 80 questions, etc.) does not lend itself to determining minimum engineering compentency. After taking this October 2006 exam, I continue to stand by that statement.
Best of luck to everyone who took the exam.
