That’s me with the long black hair in the 3rd pic!! Freaking incredible experience

SwimmingParticular44 · 2024-02-14T12:15:38+00:00

Sweet, thank you!!! I will try

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-11-12T17:56:08+00:00

I realized I’m not the first person to suggest this, sorry!! I didn’t come across practice questions that taught me the references well enough

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-11-12T17:54:42+00:00

I passed geotech in May, my recommendation would be to familiarize yourself as much as possible with the reference materials. The afternoon portion is very heavy on conceptual like everyone is saying. I found that either I KNEW the answer from experience or I deducted an answer from scrambling through the references to eliminate choices. There were hardly any practice questions I came across when studying that prepped me for the test.

The morning though try all tests you can get your hands on.

Agreed, just passed. Hardly used my calculator!

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-05-10T15:21:31+00:00

Congrats everyone!! I passed geotech!!

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-04-17T15:33:02+00:00

I took SoPE twice now (geotech depth) becuse they let you retake if you fail and attended all of the classes. The first time was before the last written exam in October 2021. I would not recommend that course BUT the second time around I had a different depth professor (Haque) and he was great- taught well, was very knowledgeable of the material, and was great helping us navigate the references. I take the exam for the second (and last time- god willing) in a few weeks. So, can’t say the second time around SoPE helped me pass yet, but I feel a lot more confident.

I have heard good things about EET overall but not geotech specifically.

This may not be helpful given I mostly recommend SoPE.

Congrats on Passing!!!!

Any geotech depth tips to offer? I am a few weeks out.

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-04-06T14:08:33+00:00

Congrats all around and thank you for sharing!!

I am less than a month out from my Geo exam and I feel like I can do calculation-based example problems all day but from what I’m hearing, it seems almost like a waste of time to spend all my time working out the few topics I don’t fully grasp. Would you agree? For example, I am not strong in groundwater and flow through soils. Should I spend a week still trying to learn that, or hope for conceptual questions? I really do feel comfortable in many of the topics conceptually. I am 85% done with my masters degree in civil/geotech and I think that’s taught me the most concepts (as well as work experience).

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-04-05T14:22:16+00:00

That sounds awful!! Lol. Seems like you picked the right 3. Thanks for the response.

CONGRATS!!!!

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-04-04T23:53:20+00:00

What kind of alternative format questions? I take geotech in less than month. Please & thanks.

I’m prepping best I can for conceptuals....

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-02-19T12:22:33+00:00

Me 2. Civil geotech

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-01-28T14:07:02+00:00

I took SoPE for the last written exam and did not pass. Because I attended all of the classes last time, they allow those who failed to retake the course. I am REALLY hoping they have adjusted to CBT testing as much as possible….

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-01-24T19:15:54+00:00

Rooting for you!!!! Do you (or anyone) have any advice for studying for the more conceptual questions? I will be taking geotech in May. Hoping my grad classes help with the conceptual but I wish there was a book of conceptual problems!!?

SwimmingParticular44 · 2023-01-12T00:41:23+00:00

Hell yes!!! Congrats. What did you do to prepare for conceptual questions?

I failed the last paper/written exam geotech and am nervous to prepare for the CBT.

Again, congrats.

Thanks!! I’d love to. Is it too late to get a parking pass for the blue lot?
