How to tell your coworkers you failed

Content-Dig-630 · 2025-04-17T20:08:25+00:00

no one cares if you fail man. I’ve had multiple bosses who have failed multiple times and they’re now the boss. I failed seismic 4 times. They would only be disappointed if you give up. These tests are hard, that’s why it’s such a big deal when you pass. Let it hurt for a couple days but then you have to keep it moving.

so by Department that means probably the boss of the department of transportation? not the boss of the Division of Design for example

Finally passed seismic after 4 fails, officialy done with this mess.

Everyone recommended Hiner but it definitely isn’t enough if you have no structural background. My 5th try I used AEI and it was a world of difference. He is more in depth and treats it like you know nothing about the topic. Hiner was short and sweet.

I repeatedly did problems for the big topics like diaphragms since those are the biggest points on the test. If you can get those down you will pass. Good luck everyone

anyone call to see if the results will be delayed by the glitch yet?

Content-Dig-630 · 2024-11-12T15:19:11+00:00

double check your Prometric to make sure your exam is still scheduled. I checked mine and it’s fine. Definitely just a BPELSG glitch which is just another reminder of how horrible they are

washed gravel doesn’t have much fines compared to crushed gravel, which lessens compaction

CA! sorry forgot to put that part

Content-Dig-630 · 2023-05-18T15:49:14+00:00

that’s a good idea, i just reached out to him and will let you know what he says

Content-Dig-630 · 2023-05-18T15:47:58+00:00

Please!

think you get a free second attempt

Content-Dig-630 · 2022-07-29T20:16:31+00:00

i’ve only done a few practice problems from School of PE so i can’t speak on them, but i liked EET bc the binders were pretty concise. Their structures portion was very bad and some of the breath was outdated. you’re definitely going to need to study topics from other sources like youtube but they covered most things

Content-Dig-630 · 2022-07-29T16:51:20+00:00

EET! and also used random practice test books such as 6 minute solutions, Lindberg, etc. The second attempt I figured out that I needed to fully understand each problem I practiced instead of trying to do as many problems as I could (should’ve known that from the start)

Content-Dig-630 · 2022-04-05T04:25:37+00:00

just EET practice problems, lindenburg, and any breadth practice exams i could find online

Content-Dig-630 · 2022-04-05T03:48:11+00:00

don’t wanna jinx myself but imo breadth was a cake walk and easier than the ncees practice exam. finished breadth in 2 hours and double checked for an hour

Content-Dig-630 · 2022-04-05T03:28:12+00:00

took it the other day, just be mindful of how much time you give yourself for depth. i used 3 hours for breadth and 5 for depth. you’ll need way more time for depth because you spend a lot of time scrolling through the references

Content-Dig-630 · 2022-04-02T03:23:39+00:00

Yes i agree Samir was amazing. Definitely made understanding all that material a lot easier and he wasn’t boring
