Pass Rates

[MechE1906]

When will NCEES release the pass rates?

 

[TWJ PE]

Probably in a few weeks they'll update the table.

 

[glockjacket P.E.]

Last time it was fairly quick, probably depends on how quickly their intern works

New pass rates are out for April 2016

 

[scatsob]

It's interesting how low the retake pass rate is in some disciplines. Those poor nuclear guys have it rough. 

 

[matt267 PE]

I noticed civil-wre had a higher pass rate this April vs this past october. I guess the April test was easier?

im okay with the nuke exam being harder than the civil exam

 

[scatsob]

Oh I agree, it's just all the nukes I know are smart as ****. Though I have heard the exam is geared more towards domestic power generation and power plant operations. The guys I know deal with reactor design.  I guess there is less of that on the test. 

I find the agraculture test intriguing. I have a biology degree as well and would love to take that test but I needed a one and done so ME it was. I met a ag engineer and it's basically ME with some ag science and bio. Interesting degree.

That's pretty much the case. Studying for the exam is much easier if one works in a power plant.

But that's not the case for the majority of us nukees...

 

[Ken PE 3.1]

So, for the last two test cycles for the electrical power, there were about 1322 takers each cycle and about 667 passers each cycle between 1st timers and repeats.

Each time only about 50% passed from the combo. Statistics are fun outside of college.

 

[MechE1906]

Looks like the MechE/HVAC test was tougher this time around than in October. interesting.

If you pass, can you request what your score was?

 

[Audi Driver P.E.]

If you pass, can you request what your score was?

I believe so.  Why would you ever want to?  Weird.  I find it very odd that TX gives out passing scores, too.

 

[P-E]

If you pass, can you request what your score was?

You can but they prob won't tell

Weird? hmmm, I don't think it's weird.

Send me a check for $198.99, I'll tell you your score.

I hate tapatalk

 

[P-E]

There might be someone here who might be able to find out.   Might not want to go there. 

 

[scatsob]

Why not?
