October 2020 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[AZ_ladybrain]

i had read that it was brutal this go 'round.

For sure. I should have probably spent more time in the AM session. I had an hour and half left when I was done with it and thought I had it in the bag. If I had just gotten at least one more of those questions right, I would probably have passed. The PM section had a ridiculous question? wtf..... now I know.

Great... CO sucks. Who took the geotech depth?

honestly, it wasn't anything like the material I studied. It was so infuriating.

It was a switch bait..the practice exams seemed soooo easy

 

[MadamPirate PE]

Any word on CO yet?

You'll be lucky to get results today this week.

You need to remove those details about the exam question, please.

If you can't edit, @leggo PE can.

The NCEES practice exams are known for being much easier than the actual test.

I did, thoughts?

Civil-Construction test I thought was fairly straightforward, but that's probably just because I was tricked and fell for it every time

While we anxiously await. Who else took transportation here?  

 

[Schloobs]

Yeah they really did a 180 this time. 

I was told the exact same thing. like 2020 wasn't bad enough, they just had to make this exam a curveball.

Throw Nebraska on that map, got my email at 9:12am central time

I didn't think it was like the practice exams at all. If I am remembering correctly I don't think I calc'd out a single LEP. Very conceptual. We will see how things shake out.

Transportation Depth section KILLED me this time around. 

Agreed, I was feeling confident after the morning but the afternoon is why I am so worried. I work in land development so some stuff was already new to me. I would've taken water resources if environmental wasn't a part of it.

 

[ChexLeMeneux]

My stomach is doing flips I'm so anxious....Bojangles Cajun Fillet Biscuit was not the right move this morning...

please don't use this thread to discuss exam problems. 

I revised my comment.  I wasn't sure if that was in violation or not, but better safe than sorry.

Sorry. Didn't know that was a rule. I cannot edit but I will try to delete?

I agree, many more conceptual problems than last years test
