Yes, it will make it easier.

1. If you did the NCEES credential evaluation and they said that you are deficient, you are ineligible to be licensed using the NCEES method. You should not, however, be discouraged by this! You can still apply to a state board to take the exam and have your university transcripts sent to the...

It's interesting seeing which jurisdictions are the least customer friendly, inefficient, and bureaucratic with this process. It more or less follows what I thought it would be, with some exceptions. It should be simple and straight forward but some of what people describe on here is maddening! ...

Varies by employer and function. Not all employers value employees with PEs - it's something the employee values because perhaps in the future they wish to move to an employer where it is valued to obtain an additional premium or to a different role inside the company where it is needed. It's...

http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/european-business-school-rankings-2015 If you're interested in doing full time or EMBA you should consider a program in Europe (top 5 or so in that list) because they're cheaper, faster, and partly because of the previous two have a higher rate of...

My employer did not pay for anything or give any time off. It was incredibly difficult to even manage to make it to the exam on Friday (which is why it should be held on Saturday). It's not how they roll and they view it as investing in yourself. It's not that they're unsupportive but they way...

I think that's part of it (the general subject this thread is about). There are people who study very hard to make sure they pass even though they would most likely pass it anyway like yourself. The exam's aren't so difficult if they're generally in your area. It's risk aversion or a common...

You don't really need it but it is a well regarded qualification, especially by other engineers and there are a lot of them in management (and in the top 15 MBA programs). You also never know when you might need it and in certain disciplines there are actually very few PEs as a percentage of the...

meant to say they're six minute questions so they're not incredibly complex....although a few of them were fairly complex...I left those till the end and I know I didn't get all of them.

Hah. When they had me tested in elementary school it was 142 but some of the puzzles were taking awhile so I asked if we could stop early  :) We did and that was final score. it's the same thing here, I can't bother to study for the periods you all are able to do and hats off for it, really...

I've never studied more than 8 hours *period* for any exam. 8 hours was for a math exam in university. I studied 4 hours for the PE and 15 min for the FE (flipping through equation book in that case). I had the right references for the PE exam, I knew how to generally solve most questions (65%...

It was 4 hours for the PE, 15 min for the FE, and no more than 8 hours every for any exam I've ever taken (8 hours was for a math in university). I'm reasonably good at exams to the point I can pass them. Doesn't mean I'm great but I can reliably expect to pass. I was stressed about the PE exam...

It's unbelievable how much mail carriers can get away with, even the contract ones. I've had a few important things mailed to my address in the states (haven't received the PE certificate yet though) and he always fold them even when they say 'DO NOT FOLD' 'DO NOT BEND' etc or he just doesn't...

I went with black. Blue...possibly. That's cool about Alaska's digital stamp and appropriate. 

Thanks, that's awesome!
