I brought two TI-30XIIS calculators (one new one, and one that I used on the FE exam). These cost about $8 during back to school sales. A fancy expensive calculator will not help you. The math on the exam is pretty basic.

I have two transportation books for sale on amazon: NCEES sample questions for the transportation exam, and the Transportation Depth manual sold by PPI (same company that sells the CERM). Both are great books and have great karma :) my friend used them and passed on his first attempt...

48/80 - civil water resources

If I had passed I would have been licensed at 25+10 months. I skipped senior year of high school and went to college after 11th grade, and then got accepted to take the exam with just barely 4 years of experience. But I didn't pass so hopefully I'll be licensed at 26! Not sure how anyone who's...

When I took the exam I found that I really only used the CERM, and I looked up one or two answers in another textbook. And you need to know where to find the information you need because you really don't have time to search for information very much (hard to believe but your 6 minutes per...

I submitted mine like 2 days before it was due in NY, and I received the letter 2 weeks later, so it took them about 10 days.

When I took the EIT exam in New York in 2008, they had education requirements to meet before anyone could even sit for that exam (you had to be in an engineering program and have completed a certain number of credits). Was that not the case in 2005? Then it seems like you may need to take the...
