Congrats to everyone!!! :multiplespotting:
I see that many of you are new members. Now that you have some free time, you can hang out here and offer help to others who are trying to pass. There are a lot of threads here, some serious and some not so serious. Hope you will hang around.

This was posted on the 'who failed list' thread. How gut wrenching to be this close to passing. Makes me think how lucky I was to get a passing grade. I must have just been on the bubble looking at this engineer's diagnostic breakdown:
I have received my diagnostic report, so I will post mine as well. (First attempt of PE)
Civil breadth:
Construction - 75% (worth 20%, 6/8)
Geotech - 50% (worth 20%, 4/8)
Structural – 100% (worth 20%, 8/8)
Transportation – 100% (worth 20%, 8/8)
Water/Environ. – 50% (worth 20%, 4/8)
Approximate am score: 30
Structural Depth:
Analysis – 40% (worth 12.5%, 2/5)
Design Criteria – 80% (worth 12.5%, 4/5)
Loadings – 60% (worth 12.5%, 3/5)
Materials – 80% (worth 12.5%, 4/5)
Mechanics of Materials – 80% (worth 12.5%, 4/5)
Member Design – 20% (worth 25%, 2/10) ouch!
Other – 60% (worth 12.5%, 3/5)
Approximate pm score: 22
Approximate total score: 52
For October, I will definitely be studying up on water and geotech for the am, and analysis and member design for the pm. But still doing an overall review…
There is something else that I want to share… I feel that it may have contributed (I am not trying to make excuses) to my less than stellar performance in the afternoon, but I don’t want to speculate too much. What’s done is done, and all I can do is prepare for the next exam.
I live in an ELSES state, and we are given a separate exam id number (9 digits with leading zeros). In the morning, I filled out my social instead of my ELSES number on the exam form. I didn’t think anything of it until lunchtime when I looked at my admittance letter and noticed the separate id number. When our afternoon forms were distributed, I listened carefully to the instructions about filling out the examinee id, and there was no indication given as to which id to use, so I raised my hand and asked the nearest proctor which id we should be using. She wasn’t sure and had to ask another proctor. She came back with the answer (use the ELSES id) and I asked if she thought it would be a problem that my morning form had a different id than my afternoon form. She said no, that they would sort it all out in South Carolina and just attribute it to my being a ‘dumb blonde’. She giggled and said that she was ‘just kidding’ and walked away. Not more than a minute or two later, we were instructed to being the pm portion of the exam.
I am usually a very focused person, but after that comment I spent the first fifteen minutes of the afternoon trying to read and re-read the first problem to reorient myself and regain my concentration and focus. It probably took about a half an hour to simply get back into my test-taking mode. I have read a lot of posts and various forums about how to prepare for the exam, and I had extra pencils, erasers, a chair cushion, a bottle of water, ear plugs, snacks, a watch, a poncho and umbrella, a straight edge, tissues, everything that I thought I could possibly need for the exam. (I even got to the exam site an hour and a half early.) This comment, however, I was not prepared for.
Hopefully someone can take away something from my experience… Be prepared for anything! And try not to let anything get to you. You've worked hard and deserve to do your best. (I think I would have been fine if it had been anyone else making a derogatory comment, but I certainly wasn’t expecting behavior like that from a proctor. The exam itself is stressful enough.)
On a side note, after the exam I did fill out a NCEES questionnaire explaining what had happened.

You sound like an unhappy person. Maybe try some yoga. Being purged or kicked off this website will only make me stronger. I will not go away. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. And by the way, I passed.
What's more, this is my post number 25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made it, thanks to everyone who helped me get here.
Whoo Hoo.
