Thanks for the advice guys! Its a good thing I read this post as I almost ordered a rubber stamp!

Some people say PMP is good, LEED AP is beneficial, CQE or CQA or CMQ/OE are hard but a plus to your career growth...

John, in my opinion they do cover most of the general topics for both breadth and depth but not enough depth for the afternoon part. If I were to do this again, yes I would take School of PE without a doubt but I don't think I'd go with Construction. Of course its my personal preference, there...

In my experience, I took SoPE on my first attempt and chose Construction for my depth. Construction was just too much and the 5 weekends was not enough. I wasn't successful and failed on my first try. On my 2nd attempt, I decided to shake it up a bit and go with Geotechnical with my free retake...

When I passed my exam on Oct of last year, I gave NJ Div of Consumer Affairs to follow up on my certificate around January of this year. The lady on the other line told me that my certificate wont be available until about May or June. My mistake was I did not call them to check sometime Feb or...

Way to go Chi! Persistence and determination pays in the end!

I agree with you 100%. I hope PMI would revamp and rectify their requirements to address and eliminate this problem. I have experienced this myself in my field. Thanks for your input

I second most of my fellow engineers' advice on taking the job instead of the MSCE for now. I have to admit, this is a great dilemma you are in. Most professionals would love to be in your shoes. Count your blessings and good luck on your decision. Keep us posted SamTCE! :blowup:

I took the FE exam after 10 years out of college and self studied. I wasnt successful on my first attempt. I realized that that topics I studied where far from the type of questions given in the exam. I also took General in the afternoon. On my next attempt, I invested and enrolled in School of...

Zeba, I am curious but what made you say this? The requirements are not that stringent? Exam content is not as broad?

Ketanco, I took Construction on my first try. I remember how overwhelmed I was with all the review materials and the depth I needed to study. IMO, its not as difficult but its just too much. I am also in the Construction industry and this was the main reason I took Construction for my PM exam. I...

Congratulations Jayman! I was contemplating on taking this exam. Thank you for sharing the references you find useful. Will look into it!

Thanks GA PE. I checked out Everblue @ everblue.edu and they do offer Online Webinars starting at $299.

Just like PEPG, I took School of PE for PE Civil & Construction for depth. I studied all their notes and focused mainly on the morning section figuring that if I study intensively on the morning material, I would somehow brush through and come across most of the afternoon materials as well...

Graduated 1999 FE 2010 PE 2012 licensed after 13 years

Oh and by the way, during my first attempt I had a colleague who took the exam the same time I did (April 2012) and he scored a 55/80 and still did not pass....just sharing

I have to agree with upstatemike on this one. I took Construction in my first attempt and fell short 50/80. I felt good in the morning, had difficulty in the afternoon but was expecting to pass. I decided to switch to Geotech (not that I'm saying its easy) and had helluva hard time during the...
