Results Received... Unacceptable
For bridge vertical:
27/40
A + A + IR.

WTF?!

That is truly brutal. I’m sorry but as awful as it will be for you to read this, I think you are in great standing for next time.

 

[ardoza]

What the... this is depressing...
You were probably one question away from passing...

Time for an appeal. this is BS

This unacceptable is unacceptable to me. WTF seriously

I studied for SE Vertical Bridge and was a dummy participant for Lateral:

I got acceptable for Vertical and not acceptable for Lateral (which expected).

I am pretty sure I did not miss anything in the afternoon, so I would say at least 90%
I am pretty sure I missed at least 15 questions in the morning (took my chances as I had no clue) and was not sure about a couple. Say15 question completely random and 3 questions 50/50 so there is no way I got 70% in the morning, unless I was extremely lucky.

My conclusion is that average of both AM and PM matters, but we can only speculate.

I took AEI classes and highly recommend it to you all.

So has only the Arizona board released so far? Any other boards?

Congrats on passing.

I think they bell curved the AM and expected the bell curve to have 28/40 to pass. I highly doubt they would fail anyone who got 27/40 without a bell curve. If thata is the case, that is absurd.

I took mine under the Idaho board but live/work in Washington and I got my results

 

[scott218]

Dammit, I am sorry dude. What did you feel after the exam? Did you think you were passing in the afternoon?

So this was my second time taking it and I passed lateral after 3 attempts. I felt far more confident after this test than I did when I passed lateral. I really just want to know what specifically needed improving since I answered every part of the afternoon and felt confident in all of my responses.

I got a 27/40 and A+A+IR and still failed. "absurd" is putting it lightly

WTF?!

Do all three bridge questions have equal value or one of them has as much value as the the other two combined?

I'm pretty sure they do curve, I did not feel good about the morning at all.

1 and 2 are 50% of your score. 3 is 50% of your score

the thing is I got a "needs improvement" on the third question, not "unacceptable". 1 and 2 are acceptable. this is ridiculous

I think you can pay to have your scantron manually verified. If there is anything like this for the afternoon I would love to know...

From everything that I have read they will redo your scantron but WILL NOT redo your afternoon portion.

basically, it is equivalent to A-A-IR-IR for SE building exam.
I always thought that if I get two IR’s, I need a really good AM score, something like 35/40, which very difficult for bridge engineers.

I am sorry man. I really hope next time you're done with this test. Usually lateral is harder to pass than vertical, that's why it surprises me why wouldn't you pass vertical with a good score in AM and feeling confident in the PM.
