Feel good about how you did on the exam?

Breaks my heart thinking about all those abandoned pencils

Breaks my heart thinking about all those abandoned pencils

The proctor said they're being donated to some pogue non-engineering Philistine slackers. One of my daughters asked for mine and I gave her a resounding NO! in response.

I found the afternoon portion of the civil, transportation PM very brutal .. It was not my first time taking the test and I thought definitly the exam was much harder this time.. I am sad and hopeless as I studied a lot !!! My books are torn, full of notes and highlights and I still feel that I will be there again.. Oh well !!

 

[afraid]

Eyaz,

I like to agree with you. Although I have nothing to compare it to since it was my first time taking it, but I like to think I know a hard test when I see it.

Also I hated the blue mechanical pencil, but I still took it home.

Believe it or not I can still remember 60 out of the 80 test questions. I'm so mad that I have no idea what the other 20 were all about. It's almost as if I wasn't who answered them.

Only time will tell.

A good way to pass the time is to head over to the "shoot the breeze" section of engineerboards.com. Specifically: http://engineerboards.com/index.php?showtopic=25068

I like how the lead doesn't break...that's what I remembered from my FE pencil & then it just disappeared . Glad to have PE one

Hope u don't end up with a small collection like mine.

 

[Engineer222]

I hope not! don't say that!

On the other hand how many times can I take PE exam before my 4 years experience is complete.... 5 times!!!!

Overall I feel pretty good about the Mechanical Engineering Thermal and Fluids Exam. Honestly though, I was surprised how much the practice exam and regular exam reused the basic concepts over and over again with just slight variations. I really asked myself a couple times, "Didn't I just solve this problem?" Sure enough, I look back a couple questions and there is an almost identical conceptual problem with just a different shell around it.

If I had posting privileges there, I'd be happy to do that. But right now, I'm mostly limited to this post-mortem stuff.

Yeah, well, this is what happened yesterday when I was exercising and thought about a question I may (or may not) have bungled:

 

[matt267 PE]

try not to think about the exam too much (I know, easier said then done), there is nothing you can do about it now.

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

For some reason I remember the board being a lot busier after the Oct 2014 exam. What's going on here. Matt, did you and Mike scare everyone off?

 

[matt267 PE]

Not me. Mike is the resident a-hole araround here.

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Hmm looks like someone (Sap, RG) implemented a code to autocorrect t h y m e to time.

 

[matt267 PE]

Test: Thyme

nope

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Weird, it autocorrects in the 10k thread.

Keep in mind the board is still only partially open. Hence why traffic is seemingly at a minimum presently.
