I are not smart enough.

Pro tip: never talk or write about it. Quickly forget that that problem ever existed.

I actively tried to forget as much about the problem specifics as I could after each session. It wasn't 100% effective, but it was more effective than I thought it would be.

I still think it would be huh-larious if we mixed up the exams and sat for some other discipline's exam and see how you fare. *anxiety intensifies*

Hmm, 80 questions, multiple guess with 25% of getting it correct. I'll say that I'll get about 20 questions right.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

I absolutely forgot everything. I did not recall 40+ problems I remembered just to work them out again. 

So, you feeling confident that you passed?

Vendor lunch and learn SPAM.

Had a vendor meeting today. They didn’t bring food or offer to take me to lunch. Guess I don’t really need those new valves.  :BS:

I do, too. But you do what you gotta do in a small firm. My PM is making me learn physical design, I hates it, precious.

Even in a big firm, its a good idea. My last manager barred me from learning it so I had to fight tooth and nail for any opportunity with other teams. And now, its part of my job description lol.

Its good to be well rounded, it'll only help you. Unless you're Veruca Salt

So, I had no idea what a pierogi was until I moved to the East Coast. I love them.

Pierogi and paczki are my favorite things and I am sad that I cannot find them here.  I will need to start practicing again.

Nah, I'll give the people some credit. I think you could get pretty far just relying on first principles and keeping track of units.

So you can watch me cut my wrists with my own fingernails in the exam room?

Give everyone but the nukes the old essay-style nuclear exam. And give the nukes the current 16 hr structural exam.

Then call in the riot police, cause the examinees are gonna burn it all down!

Short way for attention. Long way for results.

I feel good on one question. I realized I worked it out completely wrong! But, after learning how to do it, I realized by pure luck I calculated the correct answer. So at least 1/80  :thumbs:

Power used to be multiple choice in the morning and essay style in the afternoon. One of the old owners who is retired told me. 

Eta: Ooh, tops!

Down the road, not across the street.

Blue book style? Whatever it was prior to 2008. I've seen some of those old problems. Akin to the SE exam today. They were tough, like quals exam tough. I'd straight up leave the exam site and not look back if I saw a problems like those.
