I passed! PE Power

I decided today I'm not going to look at this forum again until after I have my results from NCEES. I don't care if I get my results a few hours, or even a few days, after you all. I can't stand the toying anymore. I hope talking about refreshing the NCEES website and talking about when...

This bothers me to no end! No degree but their title says "engineer" in it. That's why my story above is so bothersome. I don't get bothered at all if someone with a BS in engineering wants to call themselves an engineer, PE stamp or not.

Item III Closed Session - Personnel Matters, Examination Procedures and Results, ... So the Board will be discussing results, not approving them. Even if they were approving the results, what makes you (ndekens, not ptatohed) think necessarily we will know if we passed or failed within a week...

Note: OP lists TROLLING under interests. I'd be skeptical of any "information" you glean from this thread.

I'm sure that is quite common. However, this woman is in her mid-twenties, with no college degree, without any management experience, and is, according to my wife, a pathological liar. Her "dear in the headlights" look told me everything I needed to know. If I had any doubts while talking to...

x3. Check the address of the new EE licensees you are seeing. All of them should be out of state. From what I've read here on the forums, NCEES and/or the Board (depending on your state) will e-mail/mail the results before your state board posts the new licensees on the website. For example...

This is definitely a pet peeve of mine. One of my wife's friends and I were making small talk at a party. After I told her I am an electrical engineer, she told me she is an "Engineering Project Manager," one who is in charge of engineers at a major cellular provider company. Later when I...

Before I took the PE, everyone I know (mostly civil and mechanical FWIW) told me the PE was an easier exam compared to the FE exam. For electrical, this was not the case! When I took the FE (senior year of university - general AM, electrical PM), there were dozens of problems where you...

Also, don't you have to pass the FE exam before you are even eligible to apply to take the PE exam? I didn't think you could take them essentially at the same time. That's how it works in California anyways. I remember having to supply my EIT number on the PE application.

danderson is correct. Although I can appreciate misplaced sarcasm.

Agree 100%! As I said in another post before the test, using the Spin-Up and NCEES sample exams as a metric for preparedness, I felt well prepared for the Power PE. During the exam, I struggled with the AM problems. The PM questions were a bit more straightforward in my opinion, but they...

If you are going to throw down hundreds of dollars and hours of your time to take the exam, you might as well bring books and hope to get lucky your first time. It seems like a monumental waste of time and money to just "wing it" like you did.

First and foremost, I will say that the PE Power exam was nothing like I was expecting! I did the Spin-Up and NCEES sample exam books multiple times and in my opinion very few problems on the PE were representative of what I prepared for. I found the afternoon questions to be EXTREMELY easy...

Also, I haven't been calculating my results from the sample exams, but I would say I got somewhere between 92 and 95 percent of NCEES sample exam problems correct on my last attempt.

I said that because other than relay protection schemes, I have gotten to the point where I can do the sample exam problems (both Spin-Up and NCEES) and example problems in my reference books without spending too much time flipping through notes, finding formulas, etc. In other words, I'm not...

I agree. The Spin-Up exams are good for reinforcing basic concepts, but they are not as challenging as the NCEES exam. I am on my third round (can't be too prepared, right?) of the NCEES sample exam problems and while I think I have a firm grasp of most of the problems and their solutions, I...

soma, I have a massive binder of information I have picked from the web and from these boards as well as reference material I frequently use at work. I also have the Chelapati books, the Wildi book, the Grainger book, my Engineering Econ and circuit analysis books from college, and the Eaton...

I feel pretty confident for the PE Power exam next Friday. The last thing I need to review before the test is protective relays (and relays in general). I don't have my study materials in front of me, but I remember a few practice problems (NCEES and Spin-Up) over the past 3 months dealing...
