Yeah, the last time I went through this was last December. Being in Texas, I did get my grade, ... a 69. It was the low point of my life.
Last December, I was in Christmas Party and then after-party, during which results got posted. Good thing that I didn't have internet on my phone, , and checked my result when I got home....quite a few beers made a score of 67 less-depressing, but the story was different the next morning..Yeah, the last time I went through this was last December.

Yeah, it was not a very Merry Christmas. This is my third time. I am numb, ... however, after all this time to think about it, it still feels like I passed.Last December, I was in Christmas Party and then after-party, during which results got posted.

That's awesome! There is hope ...Yeah, the last time I went through this was last December. Being in Texas, I did get my grade, ... a 69. It was the low point of my life.
I hear ya... I received a 69, two times in a row! Then I finally figured out how to study correctly and got an 85.
That is a good question! I have taken the spring exam twice (09, 10), and the fall exam once (09).For those of you that have taken both the fall and the spring exams previously, do you think there is a difference in difficulty between the two or is that a myth? I also took the April 2010 exam and I'm just wondering if the Fall exam would be harder.
I second that. I took Oct'09 and April'10, both for MD and for sure afternoon was harder in April exam. The morning felt to comparatively easy though, the second time.That is a good question! I have taken the spring exam twice (09, 10), and the fall exam once (09).
With very little targeted preparation, I made a 63 on the Apr 09, and with very focused preparation a 69 on the Oct 09.
I definitely think the April tests had an easier morning than in October, but a slightly harder afternoon. This is only valid for the ME with thermal fluids.
Thanks for the chart. Now, I am more excited to learn that passing April exam is harder than October exam (which I already failed once)For all Texas ME, PE candidates waiting on your test results, I have attached a spreadsheet that might interest you!
Basically, it compares and charts the past results from the TBPE website, but only ME-vs-PE pass/fail rates between 2001 and 2008.
(this is how I passed the time while waiting on results last year)

hey mech guy. 69 to 85 is a huge jump and a damn good score! just in case i have to take this thing again, what is the "correct" way to study?Yeah, the last time I went through this was last December. Being in Texas, I did get my grade, ... a 69. It was the low point of my life.

It looks like TBPE is not very optimistic about receiving the result anytime soon.
"No. We get them by mail. Monday would be the earliest we could get them. But there's no reason to expect them yet.
> David,
> Could the results come in on the weekend and if so, will you all post on the weekend?"
I saw the reply to your email too. TX is a big state and I don't how big is the number of appearing/passing candidates in comparison to other states but it does seem big (from the spreadsheet). I still feel lucky in comparison the states like CA or RIYea, I just wrote back and said that; according to this board; several individuals have received results via mail and I thought NCEES would send out to states first then individuals, but I'm just trying to be optimistic.
Thanks for the info. Either way, we will have a good weekendI just called NCESS agian and they said Texas results will be mail today or Monday, so IF they overnight them on Monday, TBPE should get them Tuesday afternoon, I bet we are going to see our results Wednesday. I hope they overnight them.
Thanks for letting us know...I can quit my obsession with the TBPE website for the weekend and resume on Monday!I just called NCESS agian and they said Texas results will be mail today or Monday, so IF they overnight them on Monday, TBPE should get them Tuesday afternoon, I bet we are going to see our results Wednesday.
