    PTOE exam?

    Here's my earlier post in a similar thread.... I think this covers general thoughts that I still think are true. The only difference is I took the last paper/pencil test but I don't expect things to be much different with CBT. I recommend taking online practice for $10. Insider tip... ;) . Once...

    PTOE exam?

    I don't think that you will find anything other than ITE. However, I recommend that you go in try to take the test again. If I am not wrong then you can get different tests if you keep refreshing. You won't get the answers but you will get the questions - those questions are a good resource...

    Digital Cameras

    Thanks for the detailed response Supe. I looked at Nikon D90 with 18-105 kit. It is a little expensive but seems to be worth the money especially since I won't be upgrading for a few years. T2i is Canon's response to D90 with 1080 video and higher MP's. However, it comes down to the same old...

    Digital Cameras

    First, thank you to all who have contributed to this topic. We have been thinking of upgrading from the P&S and go the DSLR way. The biggest reason is that we want to capture all the special moments with our little one and P&S has let us down a lot of times to say the least. We are no...

    Signalized Intersections

    For the purpose of the exam, you will be provided this value. Total lost time used in the analysis is different for jurisdictions - 2 seconds is commonly used, but I have had to use 3 seconds for one particular agency (claiming that there are more elderly drivers). Hope this answers your question.

    Traffic Analysis

    Traffic has been removed from the AM portion since April 2008. I think it was the time when they introduced the new Construction module. Transportation AM is now geometric design only.

    Computer Based Testing

    GRE does not allow you to re-visit the question you answered. At least, that is how it was when I took it in 2001! Also, PTOE test is now computer based. It is offered 2-3 times a year. The difference is there is a 30-day window during each testing period so it is convenient. I think that...

    5 High Paying Low Stress Jobs

    I came across this article a few days back and today it is featured on the yahoo front page. Now this is what I call generalization without enough knowledge. What pisses me is that all the CE's (or at least 'most' of us) are into building infrastructure, have multi-year deadlines, work on...

    Dont end up like this guy..

    NCEES has several questions graded as a "standard". These questions are used for evaluating the pool of candidates and setting the passing score. I believe that I read this somewhere in the NCEES scoring method explanation. This is why it is necessary that all the questions remain...

    Time Management Plan for PE Test

    I don't see how the order of sections on the test matters. You can choose to start from the section you are most comfortable with. As far as I know, the questions for each section are together so that should help you.

    Digital camera vs Camcoder

    I bought Sony HDR SR-11 a few months back. I wanted this particular model as it stores the data (video & pictures) on a 60 GB hard drive. That's a lot of space and no memory cards. Of course, there is a slot for memory cards if you want to record on it. Beyond the storage thing, I loved the...
