Nope. same answer I got and thats why response is in quote. I got that respone within 10 minutes. Basically smudged answer will be verifed against intended answer. Response says intended answer takes precedence over other marking/s.

Wow!

Ok, just to clarify for the engineers reading this thread. WE ARE MESSING WITH YOU!

Good Lord Almighty.

I thought the issue was with the graphite, not the erasers.

 

[EB NCEES REP]

People, let's try to take things a little more seriously. There's no way The release of any map would be authorized.

 

[matt267 PE]

Thanks ncees rep. Sometimes we need things to be put into perspective.

 

[Ken PE 3.1]

Authorized or not, is the map fairly accurate?

Chuckle I look forward to being on the other side of this PE passing situation. Folks are in the last phase of post exam moods lol

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Dear God, he actually contacted NCEES about this. Did they immediately void your exam for asking about pencil graphite 'issues?'

One would think NCEES would just hang up when they hear "I read on Engineer Boards that..."

Welp, I've now seen it all as well...wow, just wow.

I taked to NCEES they said " Many thousands of people have used the pencils we have gotten from the same company for many years without trouble. Any form of erasing can cause smudges, and for the most part, the pencils we use work perfectly fine. Although it brings a very important point about why we require that everyone use the same pencil/eraser.As for the exam itself, erasures rarely make it difficult for the digital computer system to score. We spot check many answer sheets and even with large smudges on the paper, the computer is able to pick out the answer you selected. We have actually NEVER found a mistake by the computer scoring." This is perfect response to Ken 3.0's response of " No, but eraser marks count as double against you.", basically we should be good.

Maybe we should consider having new members sign a waiver saying they won't contact NCEES for any reason at all regarding anything stupid that Ken 3.0 might say. Might throw matt and mike in there as well.

Maybe we should consider having new members take an IQ and satire appreciation test. sign a waiver saying they won't contact NCEES for any reason at all regarding anything stupid that Ken 3.0 might say. Might throw matt and mike in there as well.
