Best of luck to all test-takers!

Just wanted to know if anyone has not received a license yet due to the MN government shutdown.

Got my license # on the nysed.gov Web site! Woohoo!!!! :party-smiley-048:

Maybe they have 2 people working on this? One goes up the alphabet from the middle, the other down?

Oh.... well, just the PE examinees then!

One more day until Golden State examinees (FE/PE warriors?) get their results! Hang in there, and good luck!

Not really... I took my PE exam in Brooklyn, NY inside a big gym at Pratt Institute. Just a few things of note: 1. Many examinees brought cell phones and had to leave them up at the proctor's table in each section. The NCEES volunteers were thoughtful enough to have resealable plastic bags for...

I can't speak for the PE Civil materials, but I had actually considered ordering the Chemical PE offering and had emailed them about whether it would be updated for April 2011. A representative from Kaplan replied and actually told me that it had too many errors, I would not be happy with it...

You all may want to consider payscale.com as well. It never hurts to check out more than one source before negotiating a salary. As for me, no pay raise. Just looking to get the PE officially, and move on.

So, who do you think is going to win Wimbledon this year?

Love the responses so far. (And this is coming from a native Brooklynite!) :P

Haven't planned it out yet. Maybe I'll travel; maybe it'll be a stay-cation.
