Did anyone out there think that they did awesome on the test and then failed? I feel like I guessed on less than five questions total. I walked out of the test really confident. I find the longer I am removed (12 weeks and counting) from that day the less confident I have become. I took the Civ-Struct in CA, so yes I am still waiting.

 
To be quite honest I thought I did ok. I didn't think I did perfectly n the test but when I counted the numbers I thought I got a 33 in the morning and then a 30 in the afternoon. Found out I did get around a 30 in the morning but then the after was a killer. I calculated a 24 in the afternoon. So I missed it by a question or two. I was also getting less and less confident as the day went by.

Keep your head up though. The results will be coming shortly and if for some unknown reason you didn't pass there is always October 07 with me and a few others on the board.

 
I felt that I had done more than enough to pass immediately after taking the exam. Probably 72/80 (Civil/WR) by my count. As time progressed I felt less and less confident, I was second guessing myself etc. I found out that I passed on June 26, so if you are that confident, I believe that more than likely it’s just the waiting that’s getting to you, at least that’s what it was for me.

Good Luck, hope you get some good news soon!

 
I agree with vmi. Although for me, I felt confident some days and not so confident the next. Thankfully, my selective memory had kicked in so I didn't remember a lot of the questions to second guess myself. Of course, it didn't make it any easier on the waiting front, but it worked out well for me at the end :laugh: .

Hope it will for you as well.

 
Yes....My second time I was SURE I would pass....ended up with about 50!!! hence, my OTHER post about how you felt when you left the exam.
