You either have this book in the exam, and can answer relevant questions. Or, you do not - and will need to guess them instead. Buy the book, and review it for about an hour to familiarize yourself with its contents. You'll possibly need it, but it more in the sense you'll need the MUTCD.

I passed the April exam, first time. I have two kids, 1 and 3 years old, full time job and had absolutely no time to be in a scheduled review class of any kind. I spent a touch over $1000 on books and exam fees, and really didn't want to spend anymore on a course. But, on these boards I...

You definately do NOT need to study all the chapters in the CERM - not even close. Get the NCEES outline - it is your map to passing the exam. The NCEES sample exams are your other vital link. I'm a Civil Trans who passed first time through in April. If it isn't on the exam outline don't...

Civil Trans here. I've been holding back my comments until I knew I passed. But I am going to contradict the going census here and state that I don't think Goswami's book is very useful. I bought the CERM and Goswami's both - and reviewed them both. During the exam I refered to the CERM a...

I passed too. Letter came to my home. And the Canucks are up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals. Great weekend so far.

Thanks for calling. I'm so glad to hear they are just now working on sending them out. They have only had them for around 1.5 weeks, and they are already starting to get on top of things. Good work guys. Watch out for papercuts and please do strain yourselves. I hope they are taking the...

Oregon - because apprehension builds character.

Thank you for using your inaugural post to let us know jenn4188! If/when I find that my database entry is updated I'll post it here.

That is so many kinds of awesome! They are only going to hold back the Oregon PE results back for just over a week. Those guys are so swell! I sincerely thank you for calling them and reporting on their excellent efficiency Clydeman. We're so lucky here that they use the USPS to get us the...

The race is on then. Which will come first? The Vancouver Canucks win a Stanley Cup Championship or Oregonians receive their PE results! It'd actually be kind of sweet if both happened on the same day.

You have to love the anticipation buildup. I've taken the rest of the week off work so I can sit at my laptop and hit 'refresh' every few seconds on the 'find a license' database, all the while looking out the window for the mailman to drive by so I can chase him down to the mailbox.

Build a Liberty Ship during World War II. The average Liberty ship took 42 days, but with the amazing efficiency of NCEES I'm sure if they tried a little they could take it down to 35 days, especially seeing as one group managed to build one in less than 5 days.

Actually, I think you can become a medical engineer that way. You'd be qualified to build bypasses through the arteries and stuff.

Upthread some guys were laughing about how Canadian engineering PE's were given out in a cracker jack box. Guess what? I got a Canadian engineering degree and I wrote the American FE and PE exams. Neither exam was much harder than some of the SEMESTER finals for individual classes I took in...

My employer is reimbursing me for around $850-$1000 of my expenses IF I pass. Expenses including exam fees and books. They gave me a signed letter agreement a year ago attesting to that. I had to take my own vacation time on Friday though.
