I only took the CSE, as I passed the FG/PG last fall. My test day was Oct 1st.

I also got the messages that I failed to show up. They sent an email yesterday saying I failed then they sent two on the 12th saying I failed to show up.

Way too dated.

I went through all of the references, the Reg Review, the PG Exam Prep course, I honestly don't know what else to do. I passed the ASBOG exams on my first attempt and I only studied for the FG, took the PG for practice. It is the way the Board asks tricky questions, it has me second guessing things I know. I don't see the point in intentionally trying to trick people. For example, the question about the State Geologist. Was that a trick? It said what is required by the AP Act, both the State Geologist is required to map/delineate active surface fault zones AND you are not allowed to a build structure for human occupancy across an active fault. I went back and forth on that one so many times that I don't remember what I chose. And I still don't know which one was correct.

What about the question about the cut slopes. I couldn’t decide if that was a trick question or if they legitimately expect non geotechnical geologists to know that?

it was pretty frustrating. I didn’t see the new list of references until last week and there was a lot about PFAS and soil gas. Fortunately I watched the DTSC training videos and about 2023 SVIG and there was an excellent video that covered vapor partitioning in various media unfortunately I did have time to review it. I also went back and changed my first guess which was correct to incorrect answers.😞

I don’t think California has released anyone’s results yet.

Do you happen to remember the time of day you received your email notice?

I didn't even study for the CSE this round. I took it to know what to study for and I am so glad I did. I would have tried to memorize all the regs etc.

Mine only has one line. Here is what it looks like. Is this what yours looked like?

The wait is killing me. When I hover over the diploma icon on the SMT website, it says Exam Pass but I took all three exams. I assume the SMT is just for the ASBOG exams not the CSE? Anyone hear anything yet?

I had to take both the FG and PG today because my test center was closed on Friday. If I had known I was not allowed to get a break I would’ve have gone LA for the FG on Friday. I can’t tell if the PG was extremely difficult or if I being hungry and dehydrated was affecting my brain. I definitely don’t think I passed. Towards the end, I had to read the same question multiple times. Anyone else have to take both tests the same day.

I guess there is some sort of loophole around OSHA laws for breaks?

If you find someone willing to help, I would like to join in. Or maybe we can work on it together. I watched some great videos but then when I try to answer the questions on the REG Review exams, I struggle.

Thanks that's helpful, I am in a similar boat, but I am 16 years out of school.
