T minus 2 weeks

[Orca2552_PE]

How's the prep coming along guys?! Frustrated? excited? nervous? I for one can't wait to get done with it now!

Exactly 2 weeks and a couple hours from now (if you're from California), we'd have conquered this demon

I was feeling good about it until I bombed a practice exam yesterday. Lol.

Lol! Those are meant to be bombed, no? I mean have they ever served as a source of anything but demotivation?

That's normal. It's a blessing in disguise because it will force you to study things more closely ahead of the exam rather than getting cocky.

Thanks for that good reminder! I feel a lot better about it now!

I heard something along the lines of the NCEES South Carolina Facility and flooding. Is this true?

I took the NCEES practice exam for the second time recently (took it initially at the way beginning of the my studies). Got 37/40 and 25/40 not including any skipped questions i would've just guessed on. I guess it's a passing grade but I kind of regret taking it earlier since I kind of remembered the questions. Anyone know of any other practice exam (especially depth portion) that is similar difficulty-wise?

If you still think there is a "depth" portion, you have bigger problems...

What do you mean? I'm just asking if there are other Structural Depth portion practice exams that are similar to the "realistic"/"easy" NCEES one.

Yeah, I have others (PPI, Goswami) but they seem to be much harder than on the NCEES one. Just checking to see if there are others that might be similar to the NCEES one.
