PE Exam Oct 07
PE Exam Oct 07
(OP)
Dear all
Earlier I received many good advices from several of you on taking PE Civil exam after 20+ years of graduation. Thank you all for the valuable advices
I did take the exam on Friday, 10/26. The exam was not that difficult in the sense that, apart from a few, most questions of AM portion were basic. The few questions were pretty long and needed several steps in analysis.
I took Geotech in PM. Again half of the questions were not that hard. However, the remaining half were tricky and taking many steps.
As you know, after taking any exam, we get nervous in waiting for results, which take so many weeks. And no one outside NCEES probably know yet the PE passing score as it is different for different exams, "Angus" method of statistical analysis, etc., etc., etc. Despite this, based on your previous experience, what would you guess if I have -
AM 40 questions: 30 correct, 5 likely correct, 10 not sure and 5 wrong
PM 40 questions: 20 correct, 5 likely correct, 15 not sure and 5 wrong.
- a pass, a fail or a close call.
Would appreciate any guess.
Thanks and regards

Though too late to share the good news with you, I passed the Oct 07 PE Exam. I was out of town for some time.
If you read my first email, you will realise that passing PE after 20+ years out of school is not a joke.
Good luck to all taking in April 08.
cheers
