Studying pays off

[maximus808]

Thank you Engineering Board for all your help and for everyone's responses to my numerous questions. I missed the last exam by 4 points about and I was determined to do much better this time. Although I didn't get much sleep the night before the exam, the countless hours of working problems paid off during the exam. Problems I would've missed last time I was able to do and much faster as well. I believe I had about an hour to spare in the morning to double check and 2 hours to spare in the afternoon. The morning was similar to last April in terms of difficulty but I managed to work through the problems I didn't know unlike last time. The afternoon (transportation) was a lot better as I was prepared for all areas this time. I believe the morning I may have missed about 5 and afternoon about 3, optimistically in comparison to being unsure of 20+ last time. I have to wait and see for the results but for anyone preparing for the April my advice is to do as many problems as you can your depth first, your next best sections next, be good friends with your CERM as you will rely on it heavily, print your index for your CERM, this will help you out a lot. Good luck to you all and let's hope we all get through this together!

You sound like you PASSED, Maximus808. Good for you. Its a good attitude to fill good about yourself. At least for the next 2.5 mo we would walk happy. :bananadoggywow:. I fill much better this time, compare last fall exam, but still guessed 5-6 in both morning and afternoon, and wasn't sure about 5 or 6 (educated guess) in both sessions. My guesses were marked, that how I know how much I worked out correct. So, i am thinking, if everything I didn't mark was done correct or few of my guesses was right, and they cut score for at least one or two points, I have chance to win this game. My guess is 50/50.

i feel poorly about the morning exam. I didn't prepare myself as well for structures and was surprised by the amount of it. I felt good about the afternoon, didn't know how to do 2 problems about.. don't know if I am going to be able to make the difference

NCEES gives 8 structural problems. You should be ready for this if next time happened. I studied only statics and had to guess 5 structural problems. But I was ready for this. Every try-out test i took, had 8 strac, 8 trasp, 8 geo and few const and something else. Be ready for this in the morning.

Feel positive, its easier to wait. Smile, you have done it, you are free of study, relax. (Ha..Ha.. I try to meditate)
