my wife and i are both PE's in the same company. We both got a congratulatory email, and that's it.

i want to say last year there was a thread similar to this, and someone said they were on their 10th attempt. i remember hearing stories about some people working for regulatory bodies that had a job requirement to take the exam. not pass it, just continue to take it until passing. so you'd...

i think most texans would say alaska has a star, while texas has the lone star -- i say this as the owner of a texas stamp. as a proud louisiana native, i'm happy to see the brown pelican on the seal.

Got my stamp. Those dudes at engineerseals.com work quick!

i walked out of the exam feeling like i probably passed, but didn't want to admit it to myself (Petroleum). 4 of us that took the exam discussed things and we were able to recall ~75 of the 80 questions between us. i felt really confident about 55 of them, and reasonable sure about another 8...

i know in petroleum it's not very common to be a PE, since it's just not emphasized within the industry. for example, in 2009 there were something like 650 petroleum engineering graduates in the US, but only 85 people took the PE exam. the total # of graduates has increased steadily since the...

i studied probably 100 hrs total for the petroleum exam this fall and passed w/ an 86 (i'm in texas and they give a score). i did a 40 hr review course + about 40 hrs studying at nights (as my kids allowed) + 20 hrs on the last 2 weekends trying to simulate taking a test. my degree is in...

had a wee dram of the single malt that i bought on my way home from reliant after the exam tonight. tasted great! speaking of taking the exam at reliant, that was a surreal experience.

passed Petroleum PE in Texas!

i still haven't gotten anything from NCEES. i just saw on here that the results were at the state's website and checked. i went to NCEES after and saw i passed as well, but still no notice from NCEES.

Pass! 86 in Petroleum.

i guess so, but the 8-10 week timeline expectation has been blown out of the water by their performance over the last several years. i don't think it's unreasonable to see how quickly results have been delivered over the past few years and assume that is an achievable timeline for them --...

i understand they've got a tough job to do, and i appreciate the effort they make to be accurate. i just think that in this age of everything online, there's a few things they could do that would relieve a lot of anxiety. they do a pretty good job of outlining everything that happens w/ the...

they could probably put together a few structural questions involving JWOWW's outfits.

i know where you're coming from, but the signoff involves mostly casing design, cement design, and pore pressure / frac gradient estimations, plus relief well planning.
