I felt that the morning session was easy (36 confirmed with 2 good poss and 2 ok poss). Afternoon I only needed 20 to make the 56 for 70% without relying on cut scores. However, afternoon was harder (only 26 confirmed, but enough for breathing room).

Looks like I made it this time (second time at bat).

I hope you did tmckeon_eng!!!!!!

that was the feeling I wanted to leave the test with, it just wasn't in the cards this time.

 
This may have been one of the most fun posts I've read!!!! I could just see a few guys spirits sinking as the posts continued. I now feel like more people have joined the same club I've been in since LAST october. WELCOME!

just out of curiosity, are y'all guys on this site or what? just kidding. i actually almost forgot just how many more guy engineers there are than girls when during the exam break there was a long line for the guys' bathroom and no line at all for the girls'. that and i got hit on by three different guys. go figure. anyway, how confident am i? the morning went ok. the afternoon, HA! i finished the exam in 15 minutes. yup. 15 minutes. of course i only answered 5 questions, so i figured since i had so much time left, i might as well start making stuff up. i literally guessed (as in not the educated ones) on 26 of the questions. i know i failed. i'll just have to deal with it. although the idea of taking this again in april is making my stomach churn. i might wait for a full year to take it again (and get my sanity back). good luck to y'all though.

OMFG A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I am pretty sure that I failed this go, and my anxiety is in the fact that I won't be able to take the exam again for a year and a half.  How much knowledge will I lose in that amount of time?  All of it.
Sappers --

It took me 1 1/2 years to re-take this exam because I was serving as an expert witness in protracted litigation at work and taking care of my sick mother :true:

The truth of the matter is if you find yourself in a pickle, that time off may VERY well be what you need. I found that it helped me to re-invest myself once I knew I could become immersed in preparation.

When I took the exam this time, I felt that I did okay. I felt that way the past few times too. I only failed by one point each time, so it is difficult to know exactly what my studying did for me this time. :eek:

I say keep an open mind and hope for the best. :D

I have a long weekend this weekend, I am going to spend it by:

1. Shout out to all of the veterans. A very humble 'thank you' for your service; :+1: : USA : and

2. Run the analysis of the data for my thesis - I gotta finish the script and defend it so I can get that 2nd degree :claps:

Regards,

JR

That is why I will not be able to take it for the next year and a half.

I recalled you saying something along those lines. My prayers go with you. :prayers:

I enlisted in the service early in 1990 and went to boot camp Jul 18, 1990. :dsgt: Saddam Hussien invaded Kuwait Aug 3, 1990. Believe me - boot camp plus SeaBee "A" school was INTERESTING to say the least. :kick: I was set to be deployed once I completed my accelerated "A" school, except I got real sick. I started passing bloody stool - I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and placed on light duty. No trip to the sand box for me - no rotation with the battalion. :true:

Military service is a tremendous hardship on so many people - veterans, spouses, children, parents, other family members, friends, community .... the list goes on and on. I run into so many people who just don't understand the commitment or the sacrifice veterans must make. I always offer up my humble thanks to any veteran because it is the voluntary sacrifice that makes this world what it is. :bow:

Regards,

JR

 
when during the exam break there was a long line for the guys' bathroom and no line at all for the girls'
I was having this conversation with someone the other day. Other than sporting events, where else is there a line for the men's room longer than the ladies room.

I now have an answer.

 
I passed the October 05 exam. I thought the morning was a joke it was so easy. I would say 35/40. I wasn't laughing anymore about 2:00 pm (trans). I bet I got 15-20/40 correct.

 
We need a Engineering Girl Picture Section. :wel
