Are these places any good? These were 2 of the biggest sites I found when searching alternatives to get PDH hours. Both cost about $25-30 per PDH hour. So basically every 2 years for PA it would cost about $720 at the most (24 PDH x $30/PDH) + $50 renewal fee. I had planned on getting a...

My opinion is based on the fact that my FE and PE were different test styles. FE: Took it before I graduated from Virginia Tech. Morning section was multiple choice and resembled the math portion of an SAT exam. Very simple problems, almost did a double take if the problems were real or were...

Received everything now including stamp and seal embosser. Pretty cool. Got everything framed nicely ($4.99 frames from Michael's FTW lol). Engineerseals.com is great and make great products although I wish I didn't have to pay $80 heh. I used the stamp the first time yesterday and it looks...

I used my middle initial on both the stamp and seal. Unless they give us something bigger than the 1.75" circle, most full names won't fit in that space. I should have mine arrive tomorrow. I can't wait :D

There are only so many questions they can give you that are under the mechanical exam that are realistic to be done in an exam setting at an average of 6 min per problem that fit the need to be considered PE Exam problems. In reality, you are better off looking at the older tests. My prep...

Going to keep in real. The book you will use during the exam the most is the MERM. Forget any Quick reference book or shortened version of anything. When you want answers, you want to get them from the source. Not some Cliff Notes worthless version that doesn't even explain how to use the...

Received both the license and wallet card over the weekend. Thought about separating the wallet card and getting it laminated but then I they are attached to some instructions that I may need in the future to register or renew. I will probably just frame it in a separate cheap frame from...

Yeah I've seen my coworkers with a PE in PA with that blue and pink background document. It is smaller. I will still frame this 8.5 x 11" document for the mean time. Thanks for the info though. Let us know when you get more documents so I will know if I should expect them soon.

What is the formal license document? I thought the certificate was that? Did you pass this April? Have you received all 3 already?

Was pretty surprised based on how slow PA was to give results out for the April 2012 exam. Looks good too. It is 8.5" x 11" with a gold emblem, my PE license number, and everything. Going to be framing this bad boy this weekend and will be ordering my stamp now. Ironically I have had a...

I am not returning the books lol. I didn't have the MERM reference book or a unit conversion book for the exam. I will keep them and use them for reference. A lot easier than looking on Google Sucks or wikipedia for answers to different engineering questions I have. The only books I might...

This is what one of my supervisors told me on Tuesday. I send a lot of emails weekly to other engineers and contractors answering random engineering questions. I put the PE on my name the second I saw my name in the database as a professional engineer. When I email people now, I now like...

Can anyone give advice on whether to stick with a rubber stamp or go for the embossed version? The engineers at my company all seem to use the rubber stamp with black ink. Thought it would be cool to have an embossed stamp. But I can see how the embossed version might not be so great on big...

Official NCEES email just arrived 4:15pm EST for those waiting for the email if you didn't see your name on the list yet.

From what I heard, the score isn't straight out of 80 questions. They do know everyone's score within the days following the test because it is scantron now. However, I heard they have an analysis team go through the statistics of each question and modify what the passing rate should be. This...

You only wasted it if you don't take it again if you failed. I did look at my review class and only a couple of people have their names on the website as Professional Engineer. Many still have the EIT designation. So I doubt I am one of only 3 or 4 in a class of 15 to pass the test.

Helllllllllllllllllll YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!! Thank you everyone. I see my name. I am home eating lunch watching TV. Decided to come on this site again for about the 10th time today alone..... came to the site.... browse my name.... felt sad when I didn't see my name with the...

I find it funny how my application fee was cashed just a couple days after I mailed my application packet, yet my application took almost 3 months to complete, and this entire test result process is now in week 2 (basing it off a fair May 31st starting date).

I am not depressed. I am mad. Big difference lol. I am mad at this entire system from beginning to end. Imagine if you were in a class graduating and you and everyone took a final exam. This exam is required for graduation. Well the teacher decides to grade 44 of the 50 students in the...
