    April 2012 - what did you think?

    i thought the morning was difficult, but that is pretty normal for me. i don't really start getting my third wind until the afternoon anyway. So, i thought the afternoon was easier than the morning. i will say that they put some of the most random questions on that exam. i don't see how anybody...

    Envl October 2011

    The 2 books i thought were very useful were Air Pollution - Cooper Alley and an older book, but this book was probably one of my top 3 references, and i would suggest picking it up if you don't already own it. Hazardous Waste Site Soil Remediation by Wilson/Clarke. it's a MUST have for the...

    Envl October 2011

    I thought the morning was pretty tough. there didn't seem to be any wastewater problems on the test. I was a little frustrated. The afternoon was ok for me. I had two really great references that proved to be very useful, so i just hope my afternoon score will be abnormally high to offset the...

    Education Requirements for PE

    In my opinion experience is more important than education. i know a ton of educated engineers that are still as green as the grass grows and are able to sit for the PE. I would rather get my engineering advice from someone that's been doing the work for 20 years. Just my opinion.

    April 2011 - PE Exam Results

    I agree with VTEnviro. Not much can be done. You literally might have missed it by a question, but still, you missed it by a question, and that's the bottom line, pretty much.

    April 2011 - PE Exam Results

    Dude, 64/100 is super high in my opinion. i would have thought that would have been a pass definitely. Unbelieveable. it's like you have to get an actual 70/100 to get the 70. Give me a break!

    Guessing

    i've always heard that you should pick a letter and stick with it. so if you have a string of 10 circuits questions, you should go with B (if that is the letter you are going with) and go with that straight down. this will at least guarantee that you get those questions right that are that...

    April 2011 Env Exam - How did it go?

    I felt the exact same way. i was trying to keep track of how many i know i got right while i was taking the exam. out of the 50 in the morning. i know i got 30 correct, which to me isn't too bad, but the afternoon was wicked hard. out of the 50 in the evening, i know i got 20 right, but thats...

    How to combine engineering and environment?

    I definitely would go with Geotechnical Engineering. i am an Environmental Engineer (by education), but i always wanted to work outside instead of behind a desk. I am out of the office alot and actually enjoy what i do, and dont have to be involved with office politics. another field you could...

    Is having an EIT worth anything?

    Of course having an EIT is worth something. Where I work, you could have your degree in Engineering, but without the EIT, you are not considered an Engineer. Even you are JUST an Engineer in Training, you are still an Engineer. I mean you could have a degree in Political Science with an EIT...

    Cut Score?

    I know it is silly to wonder about the cut score, but does anybody have any thoughts? I know there are 100 questions, so i was thinking maybe 65 would be the cut score. Any opinions?

    October 2010 Environmental PE

    I took the Environmental PE too, first time for me. I didn't think it was too complicated. If i had a couple of more resources, i think i would have passed no problem, but as of right now, i give myself a 50/50 chance. I thought the morning was a little easier than the afternoon, but i think...

    Getting ready for the Oct Exam

    It has definately been quiet in here. I read the entire Standard Handbook of Environmental Engineering, now i'm going to focus on as many problems as i can do until the exam. I hate studying.
