27. Do what you say you are going to do.

I do not recommend the box lunch the Georgia NSPE sells between exam sessions. Pack your lunch!

That's crazy. But I bet they didn't forget or misplace your application check!!

Life after the PE? I've forgotten how to solve word problems and use steam tables.

You should be in good shape. I only used the MERM, 6MS, and the NCEES practice exam.

The latter. You will get refreshed on the basic engineering practice simply by working problems. I'm assuming you have the MERM?

Just wanted the VMI logo next to Citadel.

I do not think the exam has changed very much, but the MERM practice problems are not very representative of the exam. I recommend the NCEES exam books and Six Minute Solutions.

You definitely need a water bottle to help with the panic induced dry mouth when they are handing out the booklets.

I didn't take a class. I just studied Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep book. Each chapter has summary test questions. I read each chapter and took the test at the end of each chapter. Then, leading up to the exam, I just did the summary test questions over and over. The PMP was more...

I barely passed the FE with a score of 70 or 71 (Virginia gave scores in 2000 but not sure if they do today). And i'm pretty sure 69 was failing. 13 years later I failed the PE (Oct '13). 6 months after failing, I passed. My 2 cents is to focus on problems more than theory. I think the...

Title's really haven't bothered me, but if the payscale is thrown around loosely, it becomes an issue. If you are getting paid the same as a High School degreed estimator with an engineer's title, it would be a deal breaker.

I thought the 6MS and NCEES T&F versions were very similar to the exam questions. Be careful of the MERM questions. They can take you out to left field and leave you.

Good luck. The PMP is a breeze compared to the PE.
