Greetings Pra4surf1,
I passed on my 5th attempt Civil/Structural. One of the reasons I failed the 3rd attempt was beating myself up for failing the first two and losing ground due to each study session becoming another opportunity to beat up on myself some more. So don't let the mental game get to you. You have the intelligence to get this done or you wouldn't have made it this far. The key is to get a game plan that works for you. I used the PPI study first round, EET and Civil Engineering Academy later rounds. What put me over the top on my 5th attempt? I studied in the months prior by getting as familiar as possible with the material(s) I would be taking into the test; then I took off work two weeks before the test, each day for 10 days I took a 4 hour test each morning. I spent at least 4 hours each afternoon grading the test, reviewing the ones I had gotten correct (see if I guessed or calculated the answer and determine why it worked) then I studied each of the problems I missed and walked through the process of solving it correctly (going back to source information and tracking it back to my materials going to the test with me). I also took two full days off before the test; went and did some kayaking and hiking to rejuvenate. I know things will be somewhat different with the CBT, but it helps with the mental game as well. Here's to passing your next attempt. Cheers!
