As usual, I have no idea how I did. I felt good coming out, but then I remembered that was the way I felt coming out of this exam 9 years ago, ultimately getting the fail letter.
I'd say the exam covered about 20% of what I studied.
I remembered and checked about 10 questions, and 5 of them were wrong. Hopefully, 50% correct out of 10, won't set the tone for my exam average.
I blew it on one question, with the word conflagration as one of the choices. It was just one of those words that I never used, and forgot about.
As always the questions with the multiple answer choices killed me (I, II, III, IV).
I had ZERO questions on slope percentage, etc., and F.A.R., and only one math question on efficiency.
As expected, there were some history questions that I had to guess on, including some quote that I didn't know(I hate remembering f*cking quotes from people).

| the history is so dumb, how do they expect anyone to remember those things. Does NCARB think our heads are stuck in a history book. I failed CD last month after studying my butt off. They use such dictonary words in the questions, and thats why some people including myself have a hard time with the MC exams.

. . . got the PASS today (4 weeks to get results - NYS).
(Of course it's all for not if I don't pass my site re-take, although I have given myself 2 more chances prior to 4.0
Thanks to all on the forum.

Good job icarus! I'm in the same boat at you.......took and failed SP twice already and I got one more chance to try to pass it in February. Of course, if I pass PD when I take it on Dec. 20th, the pressure will be one to pass SP. Luckily, I'll still have one more chance to pass PD.
Good luck!

Good luck to you as well.
I don't even know why I failed site in July, but I have 2 chances to get it done. Structures is my biggest fear. I've been trying to tackle that beast for 2 weeks now, and I fear that I may never understand it enough to take the test.
