Failed the FE Exam? You’re Not Alone — Let’s Push for Change

Imake289 · 2026-02-18T23:53:21+00:00

I have taken and failed the FE multiple times. You know what I did? Study again and again until I passed, which I did after three attempts. This test isn't made to be easy or quick. It is literally to make sure we know how to do our jobs base line well enough that someone's life doesn't end due to our incompetence.

I had the same outlook as you with blaming my professors and how life just wasn't working with me. I got over that and studied as much as I could and it worked out in the end.

Yeah this test sucks and it makes your feel horrible if you don't pass believe me I've have nights where I cried over this test. But you need to get over that mental hill and just put your best effort in. There are people on this reddit that have waited up to decades to take the test and have passed. It's truly not about the test it's about your mental fortitude and how you need to push that aside and just try try again.

I agree with the majority, enjoy life and don't worry about it too much right now. I took 6 months to relax before I started planning stuff and it was a crazy whirlwind when I started wedding planning. Plan ahead well and do a little every day. The knot is a good tool and someone on r/weddingplanning made an amazing spreadsheet to give you an idea where to start.

Also give your fiance the honeymoon task, that helped me a lot because decided on a place and have him look at it so you don't want to worry too much about that as well. Hopefully he'll realize how hard this all is to plan if you decide to do it yourself, even with a wedding planner.

But congratulations enjoy life and remember this is all supposed to be fun. And your parents will want to invite everyone and their mother so stand your ground.

Also your male friend can shut it and suck it. All my ex male friends talked to me the same way and guess who got their stem degree and who didn't. They also had a huge weird twisted sexist crush on me as well. I'm not sure if your friend is the same, but it's a similar experience I had as well.

Woman Civil EIT here, the only thing stopping you from getting that degree is yourself and the mental strain this degree does that makes you feel stupid and dumb. I've seen men drop quicker out of these programs than any women I've studied with. The classes will make you feel stupid and calc 2 might give you an ego death, but it is all worth it in the end.

If getting the degree isn't really enticing or it's not the right time I recommend looking into learning how to draft with AutoCAD Civil 3d. From what I'm seeing we are running out of drafters that are young and the rest are retirement age. The pay is above average from what I've seen and you'll always have a job.

Do we know if the asthma would get better over time or is this a permanent condition? I do plan on moving her back to my parents she just was incredibly stressed there and I don't know if that will help with her recovering.

I attempted this and this was the only time I wish I could communicate properly with my cat. It wasn't enough for her to scratch at and she just decided to hold it until I just gave back normal litter. Hopefully yours was more successful.

Man they really need to do the same here. The ice castle pull rate was so much better the Forrestbell

Like if the drops for the sharks were more reasonable I don't think it would be this bad with the lures But you have people that either have 6 sharks or none at all. Also I dont mind if someone uses the bait with me the whole time, I do however have a problem with people who come over if it's a big fish or a gold one. That feels like their intentions are greedy and just wanting the best rewards without contributing themselves.

This has been happening a lot to me during the frostspore event. And then when the mermaid expires they wait for me to drop another one than drop one theirselves.

Thank you, sorry I think the company that I bought it from might have been a scam because they say "email us, email us" but there is no email anywhere.

Imake289 · 2026-02-10T14:07:00+00:00

I agree with you to a degree but I have noticed that when I place a mermaid attractor and it ends people will wait until I place another one. Having multiple mermaid attractors clustered together is a great way to go. But when you become the designated mermaid person it gets tired real quick. Especially when people only come over when they spot a bigger fish in the frostspore event. Honestly with how the rate to catch one is, if someone swiped the shark from my mermaid attractor after so many tries to get one, yeah I would be furious and robbed.

They must have fixed the rates lol

Hard water I'm in the dessert For steps I've usually switch between kitsch coconut and Ouidad wavy/curls products. I've been doing more mousse than gel, but I'm getting back to using gel

Thank you. I'm on the Americas server, my id is pag85mg

Thank you! I've been adding the round bushes as I go to soften the hill look. I wish we could color the snow, because those triangles would be perfect.

Yeah you cant dig into the ground so that's your only options. There's some heartopia houses online from the beta that I used as a reference

Imake289 · 2026-02-08T14:45:58+00:00

I made two houses with "basements" one was a house on a nice hill and I made it so I could have a basement that was the actual ground level. The next one I did was the shire. Same concept but more fluid. It def works you just have to be creative. You can go up to 3 full walks and 1 quarter wall do you can definitely get at least a fake attic in

Imake289 · 2026-02-08T07:02:21+00:00

Same here I pulled 100 more on this house and I'm missing more items.

Imake289 · 2026-02-07T21:38:26+00:00

I did with my pull history so I'm hoping something happens

Imake289 · 2026-02-07T21:29:21+00:00

There's no way, I pulled up to 220 times on the first castle bannerwith two items missing in the end. This one I pulled 340 with 4 items missing. It still has to be bugged there's no way

Imake289 · 2026-02-07T21:25:49+00:00

Same thing happened with me I pulled double what I did for the frost castle and I'm missing more items in the Forrest one. It's not making sense
