Thanks for the clarification! The wording is very poor, in my opinion, and your story confirms it, especially when you have the argument of it taking more than 4 years to graduate. They should just say what everyone else says: "4 years if you have an bachelors; 3 years if you have a masters"...

Quick question about Colorado PE requirements. Does CO require 4 or 8 years of experience? Their website states: "Licensed in good standing in another jurisdiction. Qualifications must be substantially equivalent to those currently required of applicants..." Okay, that makes sense. So what are...

Do we know how they determine this? Do they have existing PEs take the test and average their scores?

I knew the Civil Structural seemed harder than I expected. Both morning and afternoon were significantly harder than the 5 practice exams I took. Glad I passed though... 69% last October. 59% this time. That's a lot of people!

My wife is being relocated to her company's Denver, CO office, so I am actively seeking a position as a structural engineer in the Denver, CO area.

Well I received the email, and NCEES officially shows I passed the test now, so you can turn MS green!

Thank you! I know there's another thread about this, but since I have the license number, I assume that means I can put my PE credentials in my name?

Oh gosh, I show up. It has a license number, and I can print out the little card that says I'm a PE and has my license number on it. I think that means I passed!

I'll be glad to be your Mississippi representation. I'm still waiting... I asked my wife to put me in a medically-induced coma and to wake me up after the result is available, but she refused.
