Civil Engineer Examinees for November 2007 will RETAKE the exam on January 12, 2008

so it's official. those who took the exam last november 17-18 for the civil engineering licensure exam will retake it. ***make face here***

i haven't seen the decision posted on the prc site or any of our local news channel's' websites. but i heard that it was announced over the tv on a local station.

my brother told me that he and wilbert just came from PRC and was was already informed that due to the statistical improbability of the results in geotech/hydraulics and structural design the examinees will have to retake those two subjects. he did say that design was easier than they expected since it's mostly specs and not much about the difficult stuff. they thought it was such a blessing and now it turned out to be a curse. since it looks like so many of the examinees were able to get exceptional scores on those two subjects, they will have to retake it.

statistical improbability my ass. (it's a statistical improbability that a virgin should conceive a child, but i don't think they'd count religion in this argument =)

there is of course the rumor that there is a leakage down south. if you want to know where the supposed leakage happened, read the comments here and here. they are so funny, i read them to pass the time at work. laugh trip talaga. someone said PRC - Philippine Retake Commission rawr! =) those poor kids...going out of their minds waiting for the damned results. and prc telling them to retake. ***curse like a sailor here***

so i guess you can expect the exams on geotech/hydraulics and structural design to be even more harder. if math was sooo annoyingly over the top hard. goodluck with design! too many formulas so little time.
