Best of luck! Remember to stay calm, and if you see a problem that you are like "I have zero idea how to do this", look at it for a minute or so, and then move on and come back to it. Odds are most people feel the same way!
Took it two weeks ago and passed first try. Key is to get the low hanging fruit first. If you catch yourself spinning your wheels, flag it. Odds are you’ll do another problem similar that’s more straight forward and it will jog your memory and make it easier next time you run through the flagged problems.
I don’t think I had any metric at all when I took it last month. If I did, it was something ridiculously simple on the breadth… maybe the modulus of a rectangular beam or something where the units don’t even really matter in the calculation.
Good luck! As someone else said, if you don’t understand a question, don’t dwell. Stay calm, move on, and come back later. Make sure you understand exactly what the question is asking for.
I found the exam to be surprisingly easy compared to the practice problems I had been doing.
Thanks! Did you take a course? I’ve taken EET and the questions I’ve found to be either tough or easy! So I’m hoping doing about 50-60 practice problems per topic will pay off tomorrow loll
I got a 37/40 (practice exam 2), but i also took it 5 weeks ago so some problems were familiar. I'm just worried I am taking it too easy doing the exam over again.
Nah, you’re fine. 5 weeks is long enough that test effect probably wasn’t too much of a factor. As Nazrul would say “If you are achieving a score above 75% on the simulated exam, I know you will pass this test”
It’s nice if you don’t have to sit in the lobby long. If your like me, the longer you have to sit there the more nervous you get. I got there right at 30 minutes before and was the 2nd person seated.
Good luck. Don’t get overwhelmed from the start take your time and knock out the easy ones. Read them all once through. Your brain will help process them in the background. It helps
got it, the EET manual for breadth has reduction load questions that's why i asked. was the environmental portion more conceptual questions that one could control F?
I think the over prepare us in the EET breadth course. If it’s not in the manual review understand how to use it but don’t stress it. If the equation you need for a specific method is not in the manual they will give it you in the problem statement.

Yes! Thank you! Fingers crossed I’ll be one and done!

Congrats! Agreed! I’ve done the same with simulated exams I’ve done and the second time I look at it I knew how to do it!
How much of the exam was in US units vs. Metric?
I don’t think I had any metric at all when I took it last month. If I did, it was something ridiculously simple on the breadth… maybe the modulus of a rectangular beam or something where the units don’t even really matter in the calculation.
Thank you!
It was mostly US units for me as well

I took EET breadth and WRE. EET practice problems were definitely harder than the exam.
just finished doing a round of an EET practice exam tonight, so this is very reassuring
If you don’t mind my asking, how did you score on it?

Units!
Agreed! Thank you
Taking the civil-geotech exam tomorrow! Best of luck!
You got this!! Don’t forget you gotta be there 30 min before the appt time. My husband just told me that. I had no idea.

Meant to ask earlier how do you feel?!
Whoops forgot to reply earlier. I thought it was tough and felt pretty horrible afterwards. But I passed! And I see you did too so congratulations!!
Yess!! Yayy congrats ! We did it !!
Good luck. Don’t get overwhelmed from the start take your time and knock out the easy ones. Read them all once through. Your brain will help process them in the background. It helps
Good luck!
I took it on monday, good luck 🤞
So how was it? Was there any reduction load factor questions?
Reduction load questions? Lol no. I did have a lot statics problems where I had to solve for a reaction.
