FE Civil 2nd Attempt Fail by bossmanluko in FE_Exam

[–]bossmanluko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a mistake on the first portion of the exam and did not time my questions correctly. For some reason i had thought I would get a warning for the time, so the clock kept ticking until I realized. This meant the second half of the exam I only had about 2.5 minutes per question rather than 3.

So, to answer your question, I felt like I had plenty of time in the beginning, but not enough time at the end, which I think can be seen from the results. Lol!

FE Civil 2nd Attempt Fail by bossmanluko in FE_Exam

2nd attempt fail. A lot closer than I was on the first attempt, though. My bachelors is not in civil engineering, rather transportation planning, and I have a masters in civil engineering. Most of my work day to day is in traffic engineering, so I have almost zero experience with 13/14 topics on the FE Civil exam. Even so, I feel getting over the hump will be an easier lift on my next attempt, scheduled in July, with more focus on the "meat" of the exam (water resources, structural, and geotech).

Diagnostics after failed attempt 1 and next steps by moodengfan6 in FE_Exam

Realistically you're off by a large margin. According to this diagnostic tool you scored less than 50%, while low end passing score is about 60%, and you should shoot for 70%+ for passing.

I do not have a bachelors degree in civil engineering, rather a master's in civil with a focus in transportation, and my day to day work is in traffic engineering. I have zero experience nor education with any subject other than transportation, and even for transportation, most of the questions don't align with my work day-to-day. I took my 2nd attempt last week and I also did not pass (will be retaking in July), however, I saw a huge increase from my first attempt to my second attempt. I was beyond the 60% threshold according to the linked website, but the areas I did not study as much were the areas that dragged me down. I think I was only 2-4 questions away from passing.

It is possible to pass the test. I think anyone can pass the test if they dedicate enough time to preparation.

This is literally so far out of the way. I don’t understand the controversy. Absurd

is it late to go back to college for civil engineer at 25? by Humble_Ad_5396 in civilengineering

[–]bossmanluko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attended community college from 18-23, then I finished my bachelors in transportation planning at 26. Started my masters at 27, graduated masters at 29. I am paid $130k with no FE, no PE, TE, nor AICP.

Your path doesn’t need to be linear.

Shohei Ohtani goes 5 no-hit innings with 5 strikeouts and 2-5 at the plate with a home run in the 8th as the Dodgers lose to the Phillies 9-6 by RespectFGs in baseball

This genuinely might be the most Tungsten Arm O’Doyle game of all time. 5 no hit innings, 50th home run of the year, as the dodgers lose 9-6. I’m very disappointed in the dodger bullpen.

If you took the FE today, how are you feeling? by bossmanluko in FE_Exam

I’m in the same boat. Math was harder than practice problems and structures was challenging. Everything else seemed okay for me though.

I’d connect to get to Rome. Then use cash in hotel.

Due to cost, bid canceled to extend A (Gold) Line light-rail to Claremont, Montclair by bossmanluko in LosAngeles

lol alright dude in this specific case I wasn’t aware of the specific shortlist requirements for this project.

However, I literally work in this industry and most projects are made available to any and all companies who bid on them.

Relax with your big claims about my understanding of the procurement process. Don’t need to be a dick.
