How did you do on the PE?

[DVINNY]

So what is your take?

 

[Ritchie503]

I keep telling everyone when they asked how the test went that I am 'Positively Optimistic', and I hope I was a good guesser and passed

I think the AM was fair. The PM was a bit tough. I took the transpo in the PM and that part was not that bad

 

[purduegrad]

I just tell everyone I passed that way i can act like a PE for two months until i get my failing letter. HA ha

I took Strucutral II this time around. After the morning session I felt good about it, but one of the problems in the afternoon was a booger. Overall, I think it was a fair exam. I spent the weekend rethinking all my solutions, and I realized I made a few mistakes. If I have to take it again, I will prepare to nail this thing.

So what is your take?

I would feel more confident but my coworkers have all failed it at least once.

If the luck gods are with me.......

I figure I got about 50% right not including the guessed answers. So it all depends on my guessing skills.

I have a fighting chance.

The Structural II was harder this time around. (I first took it last October.)

I know I goofed one problem, but maybe I am just being too critical of myself.

I thought that I did OK though.

I feel I did pretty well (Mechanical/Machine Design). In the morning portion, all of my answers matched a choice on the list. No guarantees, but at least a starter. The afternoon was a bit more taxing. I had a few where my calculations weren't really near some of the choices so I had to do a semi guess.

All in all, I might say that I scored approx 85-90% on the morning and 70-80 on the afternoon. This should give me ~77% overall. That should do it.

I found just 70% supported by the MERM for mechanical exam. HVAC deph only 60% on the MERM. I think I got at least 60% right, not including the guessed answers. Some of us need some help from God to reach the PASSING SCORE!!! So, this is not ending yet!

I smoked that thing like a fine cigar.

The AM portion almost seemed too easy. I was done with that in under 3 hrs. Afternoon Transpo was considerably more difficult, and I used every minute I had. Unless something went drastically wrong, I'd say that I will pass.

I feel confident that I passed. But, anything is possible.

I felt the same way. I took the civil - Env (depth). The morning was may be too easy. Had a chance to go back and check. The PM section was tough I ended up guessing a number of questions. I was hard just to understand what they wanted. I need a little bit of luck to make it.

 

[bigray76]

I say that I feel okay - I could not have prepared any more or better and that while I feel the exam was fair, we'll see what 12 weeks brings (11 weeks now!)

[pehorn]

I aced it. I only made two educated guesses in the morning and 3 or 4 educated guesses on the WR PM portion. I am certain I passed. I strongly suggest taking a refresher course. I had to because it was my fourth attempt, so I needed to show continuing education to reapply. Do yourself a favor and take a refresher course before your first attempt. I put my all into the class I signed up for and am very happy I did.

Despite the bias against programmable calculators, I did find toying around with the solver function of the HP 33s helpful at times.

Dangit, DVINNY.......I can't believe you didn't leave a spot for me in the poll????

- Failed 3 straight times, so had to sit this one out : <----I would have had to choose this one! :BS:

But it's time to get the application back in!!!! get to go through it in OCTOBER.

Good luck to those of you that did take it though!

 

[DVINNY]

Sorry about that NC, but in that situation, wouldn't number 3 be the best fit. LOL.

I am the only one who can joke with ya about that since I failed 3 times previously too :BS:

You're correct.....#3 it is. I know you've been through it with me! Lucky you, you got to take the test again for the 4th time????? I'm pulling for you! That's an awful event to have to endure that many times.....I KNOW!

But , I'll be back looking for support for October!

How many people are starting to slide down the scale? I originally voted #9, because I felt good coming out of the exam but after a month of thinking about it and such, I'm starting to feel #7 or 8. They always say go with your first instinct, but I just can't help it. I'm starting to think I picked the distractor answers etc.

This month is just dragging by and I'm sure June isn't going to move any faster. I'm not sure how some of you have done this more than once. There is no way it can get easier. :laugh:
