Hi

I am approved with texas board. I failed last time in Oct 2013. I did not give the exam in April 2014. So how long is your application good with Texas Board? I heard upto 4 attempts while a friend of mine said its either 4 attemps or upto 2 years only.

Any members can please share some light on this?

 
As always on any rules topics, check with the board regarding your specific situation...

Texas allows four consecutive exam periods before you have to reapply. If the exam for your discipline is offered twice a year, then you basically have two years. If the exam for your discipline is only offered once a year, then you have four years.

 
Depending on your exam choice, I would go to the NCEES web site and review the elements of examination. Make sure that you know and understand everything COLD-- remember, this is a 4 year exam, after the BS degree. The questions are designed to be answered in 6 minutes or less-- some you can answer by inspection, assuming that you know and understand the material. Others, you will have to work a series of calculations which may take more time-- however, if you have burned 15 minutes on a problem, either you are down the wrong path or you don't have a clue on what to do.

If that is the case, move on and answer the rest of the questions. Leave this one blank and then come back to it before you turn in your test. Mark C if nothing else!!

You can do this-- plan on knocking it out of the park this time and then you are done with the exam--- and all of the associated costs that go with it.
