Is there an over/under line yet for PE attempts?

While I did not specifically count, I guess I would say my impression was a 50/50 split. You don't need calculus, I would worry more about unit conversion and statistics. Yeah, a lot of unit conversion.

I would say the more the better. Put so much that they don't even bother to read it all. Hard to say what they are really looking for. I just passed the enviro in April, I put a lot of time into my application. Funny how you don't need any PE references. Oh, but don't expect an approval...

OK, $150, shipped.

I passed the April exam, and have for sale the ppi2pass Lindeburg review manual for environmental engineering. Like new, I don't think I even wrote any notes or highlighted anything in it. Also have the Lindeburg practice problems, don't think I wrote in that either. Also have the Schneiter...

Passed! I'd like to thank all of you for your help. I wish I knew by how much I passed. Glad I don't have to retake, because frankly I'm not sure what else I could have done to prepare.

PASSED Environmental! From MN Board of AELSLAGID snail mail.

Not exaggerated at all. For me, pretty much every weekend from the middle of February through the test was spent at the library studying. Also did some on weeknights. After taking that test, I know I spent hours on things that weren't on there, but I had no way of knowing that in advance.

Double post.

If I passed the test, I'll gave you what advice I can. Check back here around July 4th.

I'm not kidding, there's no punchline. While I was taking my PE exam the question popped into my head. Isn't this the type of thing that just gets puked out of a computer program these days? Does it ever happen where they start a bridge on opposite sides of the chasm, and when they get close...

Aw hell. Now the doubt is setting in. I just remembered one question that was really easy to google, and I *think* I got it right. But what if I read the problem or the answers incorrectly? Or didn't pick the answer I think I picked? And on another one that seemed too easy... Were they...

I took the FE last year, about 12 or 13 years out of college (ChemE). I started studying in January for the April exam, I would guess I put in 250-300 hours. I had to relearn a lot of stuff. Passed first try. I just took the Enviro PE, and started studying in February. Definitely put in...

And a bit of advice for those future takers. I tried not to eat all day (I did have a couple apple slices and crackers at lunch) because I was afraid of wasting precious time during the exam running out to take a dump. Big mistake. I thought for awhile I was going to pass out in the...

For most econ-related problems, you really don't need to worry much about the econ part (unless you are comparing two complicated options). For me, this was very true of the ones on the exam. For the most part, I just do problems ignoring the interest rate first, and then I look at the...
