Jan 2024 Exam Results

[Sheitoon Kal]

Between 2-4 am yes, been staying up, tomorrow is literally the last day it cannot go past midmonth and they like Wednesday releases this is the longest ever taken for results from what I seen.

Survey I wish I would have combined CPESR with Reza, but I posted my first comment what I did. Timing of course, you need to go through each problem and know which ones you can solve very fast and flag the rest, I did like 60% that way, then went back and answered the rest that was medium time, and skipped hard, and saved the hard for last and ended up guessing on 10 for time. It is an easy test, but half the battle is figuring out how to solve the problem from the scenario they give you. Some were poorly written and would not be a real world scenario. I had like 3 slope stake problems which are easy, however they tried to make it cluttered and hard to read the stakes and zoomed far out, so practice those, a lot of scale problems, only one photogrammetry problem where you just find scale given sea distance and average ground elevation. Only one area problem where it was a weird curve but you just use the formula however they gave me stationing like this 00+0030, 00+0050 etc which is very weird and would never approve plans like that, also do not pick an answer off solving half of it pay attention to x and y coordinates they are so mean, I had a question to find x and y coordinates given length and coordinates at another point and degree and my calculator was say 1.15 for x and 2.15 for y, the answers A) 1.15 for x, 2.14 for y or B) 2.15 for x, 1.15 for y so watch for things like this and it did not say pick best answer just assume....
Best advice is yeah you need to be fast but do not let it get in the way of you doing all the work and still choosing the wrong answer, reread question and make sure you are solving for the right thing. It was all blur though not sure how well I did

Thank you. This was very helpful. I wish the best of luck to you and hope you pass

Also a big one, assume slope is positive unless they give you a negative sign, or an arrow, arrow points down the slope, so if you assume wrong they have an answer for that slope always positive assume.
Had three problems on what survey is needed usually always topo was a dry creek no water so no longer hydro survey but topo unless linear project like pipe would be route survey, was given survey notes asked what type they were they have piping and stationing so put route survey notes.

For those of you who took seismic in January 2024, any advice? Like what to look for, overall exam difficulty and how did you feel about the exam etc.

I took seismic in January. A lot of conceptual questions from ATC20, ATC20-1 and related to risk categories. Also load distribution. Be mindful of the 2.5 minute per question and flag the questions that take long (the ones requiring max/min calculations).

 

[Sheitoon Kal]

Yeah I don’t understand I’m so confused

Technically tonight is mid-February (2/15) so maybe tonight?

Why on earth would releasing a CBT result take so long!

They have not updated the exam in 4 years or so, so must be a mess on what problems are valid or not going forward, some silver lining I saw pass rates for past four years and first quarter usually has the highest for both specific exams.
