Structural 3rd time fail. Did well in the morning. Maybe 5 or 6 more in the afternoon and I would've made it over the line. I am not looking forward to my coworkers asking me if I passed. I am so disappointed and embarrassed :(
The great thing about CBT is you can take it anytime you feel ready and you don’t have to tell your boss and coworkers! If it doesn’t go well no one has to know - they only know you pass when you tell them
Also this is nothing to be embarrassed about! But it definitely is an added pressure

No need to be embarrassed - many of us here, myself included, failed multiple times. That exam is hard af. Some people get it the first try, but a lot don't. You are not alone <3
 
It's the end of an era. I don't have any plans to another WttS.

Earlier I asked the board if there was any interest in doing one for the SE exams and the consensus was to not do it.

I guess I should ask if there is any utility in having a standing WttS thread for the CBT exams? I'm not sure the format holds up for a revolving 4-10 day wait the same way as it is for these 40+ day slogs. The style and traditions would have to adjust.
The whole premise of WTTS is that the wait sucks. But with CBT, there is no wait.

I do think, however, there should be a standing thread for each CBT discipline. People can share advice, their diagnostics (but NEVER their test questions!), and have the same kind of colleague interactions we have here.

im right there with you! only this was my 2nd attempt, not looking forward to relearn how to study with no open material...
 
In case anyone else is waiting for their SE results like I am and all these PE results reignited their anxiety. Here's some info I got from Nancy at NCEES today. Good luck to everyone awaiting their results and congrats to those that already got the good news!
