There is no use thinking of what could have and should have. Just give me a double of what "Pissed off Eng" is having. That will numb the pain.
I agree. Screw it - head to the nearest bar after work, order TWO doubles of PissedOff's drink, and raise them up in a comiserating toast to all of us who worked so hard for last Friday.There is no use thinking of what could have and should have.

Im going to alternate between rum & coke's and dirty martini's as i work on my grand master plan of hot dog carting. This totally sucks!!!!!I agree.

Cheers, everyone. :drunk: If it's any comfort, several of my PE coworkers said they were SURE they failed it when they left the exam, only to get the good news in the mail a few months later.
This is my first post and October was my second time taking the exam.I agree, I think the exam was hard overall. It was my first time taking it. I didn't finish the morning or the afternoon, so I had to completely guess on a few questions. I did the Water/Environmental section in the afternoon. The Water stuff wasn't bad, but I thought the Environmental was hard. I took it in OR, so I guess I have to wait until mid January to find out. If the results come out so late, that would be passed the deadline for the registration for the April test. So if you don't pass, do you have to wait to take it in October?
Yes I guess the exam was harder than April. A friend of mine took Geotech in April and he suggested me for the same as easy route than taking Structural. I expected questions where you would be able to plug in numbers and do something, but it was almost complete practical geotechnical engineering. I hope the cutoff is lower for Geotech afternoon guys, since the Structural afternoon was piece of cake.
And someone said given the difficulty, can we expect cutoff of 50/80. Isn't this like the usual cutoff. I am told if you get 49 you are through.
Right on the point. I mean, really, this is a matter of National Safety. The NCEES and the State Boards are responsible for this confusion. They control the application process so they are responsible for who takes what. If they can't control that then I think they should just give a general exam of the FE type.The geotechnical engineering module had practical geotechnical engineering questions? That's a surprise...For the sake of public safety I hope the cutoff is higher than 50.
Forget 50! You have to shoot for at LEAST a 56. You can not count on a low cut-off score - that is a sure way to come up short every time.The geotechnical engineering module had practical geotechnical engineering questions?
