Jan 2024 Exam Results

[santana]

Surveying was more difficult than Seismic. I had to guess the answer for 10 questions.

What materials did you use to study? I am taking surveying at the end of the month.

 

[jorgie]

Yeah its for sure not 70%, even a member who works at board denied that on here, the 70% is only for the ethics portion that is take-home so you'd imagine these would be more lenient but the 45-65% range is broad that is 25-36 questions depending of difficulty, and as you just reassured this new survey one was poorly written so hopefully its on the lower end for cut score. I guessed ten so assuming I missed all guesses then another 10 for good measure that's around 35 correct is what I am hoping for.
A lot of those problems is not how they would be represented in real life, especially those horribly written slope stakes smh

My interpretation of the exam is exactly like yours I hope we both pass

I studied Reza and Shahin Mansour’s books. I studied for 3 months and still thought the exam was difficult.

If they said they would release by end of the month, then I guess we won’t hear until end of next week or possibly early following week

If I don’t pass what were your thoughts on the Reza workshop book. I was going to order just the workbook since I did everything on CPESR and do them both?

Also feel like it’s my fault this happened universe knew this was my last exam so this happens

damn you, jorgie. If it was not for you, we would have our results back by Feb 9. hahahaha

I think you already passed and they're just hiding your result.

I’m sure you’ll pass. I think we will hear from them this week. I do recommend Reza’s book. Specially the sample problems and end of chapter tests. I also recommend Dr. Shahin Mansour’s 497 Surveying book. That one has 497 good problems too.

I took my exam on Feb 2 which means I probably have to wait another month. This is painful.

I took seismic on 1/19 and surveying on 2/16. Still haven’t received the seismic result and for surveying, with this trend, I will have to wait another month. If I fail, I’ll probably miss the windows for retailing surveying in 2Q 2034. that is the worst part

Hopefully, you will pass both but if you didn’t pass surveying and the result comes even one day before 3/31 you are re-exam eligible and can register in a few minutes. Which, means you can take the exam in Q2.

Hopefully we all pass and never have to worry about retaking them

 

[jorgie]

Another day without results...
Anyone want to call again if status changed?
Or just playing the long game and waiting

I really really really hope so too!
I’m out of the country right now so I don’t have a way to call the board.

I called and was told to expect the results by end of the week or end of the month the latest

Dang they’re sticking to it. Potentially losing a month to retake if needed.

Ikr, that’s my worst fear

I wish we could take it this month to get results again in March, but you cannot test in the same quarter twice.
If we get results before end of month we have all of next month to just pay fees and test anytime in quarter 2.
That would be nice though if we could.

I can’t believe they are sticking to that, they should change the language then and without reason/explanation. Know to them we’re just test takers since they see so many but it took years to get to this point….
License# last issued was 2/14 #95969 so I’m also checking if 95970 gets assigned to anyone.
