Did anyone pass who really thought they Failed?

[worried46]

I don't have results yet but I did guess at 40% of the questions. You know "educated" guesses. Just wanted to know if anyone REALLY thought they failed but passed.

Come on make me feel better!!!!!!

Thats how I felt the first time. This time I felt I guessed very minimally - like maybe 2 - 5 on the front and none on the back side.

I passed and it is not as if I thought I would fail but I thought I could be borderline, I got stuck on a question in the morning session that I spent way too much time on and by result I rushed through 8-10 questions that I answered on first impulse because I was about out of time.

The afternoon session (civil/construction) I felt a lot better about because I answered everything slow and methodically and had 45 minutes to spare.

I honestly thought I failed it big time and passed. I tend to be pessimistic though.

 

[txaggie]

This is my first time through (civil) and I fee like I guessed at 7 total on the test. Sorry I know that doesn't help but we should both find out soon enough.

In October 08 I thought I passed.... and I failed... totally not the same :bawling:

Most of the people I work with didn't feel good at all when they left the exam, and they all passed. I felt really good when I left, so they're all confident in me. I'm less sure, and the longer I wait the more pessimistic I become...

 

[chekkmate]

After the test I felt like i had a pretty good shot at passing, but the longer it takes to get results (and i'm in NY so it's going to be a long while yet) the less confient i feel.

When I finally passed, I was suprised - I thought that I had failed once again. I think though, that by the time you get through the exam you are so mentally wasted that you really don't have a handle of your true performance. So try not to think about it - your exam has already been reviewed, and it is what it is.

Regardless - Good Luck! I hope you can post one of these later this month - arty-smiley-048:

Thanks. I do truly believe that wether I pass or fail I will be OKAY!!

I worked thru the morning methodically and answered each question save 3 or so I guessed on but the afternoon was tougher, so I definitely felt I was borderline.

I wouldn't have been surprised if I failed, because how many times did you work problems and where positive you had the right answer then when you check you were wrong. It happens.

I am glad for the early results from Washington though.

I felt the same way D. Kephart. I felt absolutely confident in the morning and then the afternoon was a kick in the pants. I'll definately have to study the in depth portions more if I need to retake the test. Unfortunately, Texas doesn't have the results back.

Which breadth and depth portion of the test did you take?

 

[Kephart P.E.]

Plus you are tired in the afternoon so your brain just isn't working as quickly. In the morning I finished in 3 hours so I could go back and fix some problems, but I barely finished the afternoon on time.

If I had to do it over, I would have studied the depth stuff more, and then "cherry picked" in the afternoon. I felt like the last 10 problems were actually quite easy, but I was whipped by then.

Good luck to you, Worried. I hope for the best!

I thought I had redefined the meaning of FAIL after I left the test, but somehow I made the cut score and passed. I had even had my application ready to send to the board as soon as the results came in. I would be lying if I didn't say it felt good tearing up those few pieces of paper and voiding out my check!

Thanks! I'm a little less worried. NOT

I just found out I passed. In all honesty I thought it was borderline but leaning more to failing. In the morning i had to guess on 3 with educated guesses on 7. In the afternoon I had to guess on 5 with educated guesses on 7.

hope this helps.

By the way, having studied with a friend who was taking it for his second time he did tell me that he felt he was a better engineer having studied for it twice.

Oh yeah, I can only imagine how good that would have felt. I was really dreading having to reapply glad I never had to.

All I did was leave work early on Friday, and proceeded to get quite liquored up at a show me and my Girlfriend went to.

I knew I would post here if I passed. I was completely 50-50 on whether I passed or not. And I generally ace tests. So this was an unusual feeling and it gave me some real dread. So, I fit in that category. I thought I had solved my 70% of the problems and probably guessed at the rest. But I have literally added 1+0 wrong on a test before. So you assume you made stupid mistakes. Ok, that's all my rambling. I thought I had failed (I didn't tell people the results were going up in case I failed and then I would have a couple of days to fortify myself) and I passed.

Have hope!!
