It depended on the instructor. I had 3 days of review for each section. Some instructors liked to do 2 days of breadth, and focus the final day on depth. Some preferred to stay all breadth. And some just sort of mixed it all together. My depth was water resources and enviro. The breadth...

What did you use for your registration number? Probably the same one from your EIT in MD? My EIT is from VA, so I don't have a registration number. I'm guessing it'll come through snail mail or something later on.

Results are up on NCEES. Anybody have any idea when/how we'll get a registration #, to formally apply for our license through DLLR?

MD pass! Water resources! Feels good to see it official!

You should have plenty of time starting your review in February, but I just wanted to point out that your depth area is 60% of the exam (8 morning questions, 40 afternoon). Remember, you should be shooting for an absolute minimum raw score somewhere between 65 and 70% to pass confidently...

It depends on how you plan to study. Are you taking a review class? If not, do you have any other material for the other subjects you plan to rely on? If you will be studying completely on your own and lack references to other material, the All In One does a pretty good job of providing some...

There was one guy at the PE review class I took at UMD who was taking the experience track. His degree was in forestry, but his career had transitioned into stream restoration work. Can't really tell you much more than that, but yes, people do it. :B

My proud Maryland feelings are hurt. Why can't we join your club?

From PPI: Why Upgrade to the 13th Edition? Updates to current exam-adopted codes and standards for: AASHTO: AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 5th ed., 2010 ACI 318: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, 2008 ACI 530: Building Code Requirements and Specification for...

Honestly, I'm not sure you need the 13th edition if you have the 12th. There should only be minor differences- small corrections in errata that should be listed somewhere. You can ask others, but I don't think I'd spend the $250. I saw lots of people using older editions at the PE exam.

Did she see her shadow?

I mean, under any other circumstances, this would all be fine. PCS told us to wait 10-12 weeks, and it's pretty clear that they're going to over deliver on that promise. I'm sure they'll all be released by next week. The 10-12 weeks is based on an additional 2 weeks after NCEES (which says...

Hahahah- the first time takers percentage was also low (64%). I can admit that for every "I passed" post, it bugs me a little that my odds of passing very very slightly decrease.

Congrats! Well deserved.

hahaha- nice.
