Yeah, right! Easier said than done. I have looked at the Database Lookup three times today to see if someone is going to jump the gun. I guess it would really suck to have someone jump the gun give me a number then make a correction to take it away! :brickwall: :brickwall:

What I meant was, is there a time period to take into account the findings of the board or is the board's approval just a rubber stamp and the letters are ready to go in the mail as soon as the board gives the thumbs up? It could be that the cut scores will be entered into the database and the...

The guessing game is how long does it take to update there database? Is this a case of just dropping the letters in the mail? If so, why did it take so long then?

Today is the day. The board meets today.

Each state is different. I wonder if by the time I pass the exam I have 4 years experience if that would work for GA? not that I am looking to work in GA but you never know. The way it reads though it sounds like a PE from CA can not get a license from GA. Even if it is a number of years...

You maybe correct about the 4 year experience requirements for engineers from CA trying to get licensed in another state. I don't really know that for sure. I was under the understanding that they don't. But, in order to get a CA license you do need the other two test.

Actually, the plan I have is to pass the exam and then become a member of the people who actually can make a change. As I have seen here, people are actually afraid of change. They don't want to rock the boat when they are sitting out in the water and when they are at the shore they just don't...

I like your analogy and I think that if given a fair playing field I would agree. However, this is not a fair playing field. Each state has different rules. Some state require a 4 year wait to take the test, others, like California require us to take two additional test besides the NCEES...

Someone made the point that there are plenty of people who pass the exam without any indication of what they did wrong, because they pass the test the first time. To those people I congratulate them. Clearly, the process that they used to pass the test the first time was better than my own...

I hope lots of people are reading it. Including the NCEES and the state boards. I know that NCEES monitors this site. I would love to have some of their input to the issues that I have raised. But, my audience are the engineers who take the time to think about the issues that exist and...

I have a question for you. If your opinion is that I am just blathering about the same old problems why do you keep investing yourself in the issues that I have raised? You seem to care that the system is broken. Sounds like you have your PE so why don't you do something? You don't need my...

The fact that I am addressing the issues I have with the test to this group is doing something about the problem. I have found that if the king has no clothes it is better to tell him than to let him walk around naked. I would be fool hardy to assume that my take on the system is best take...

Thank you for your kind words. The April Exam was my second time through. I know that I did much better than my first time and I hold out hope that I will have a positive outcome. However, the purpose of my posts was to provide feedback to the essence of the exam. I also did not feel as...

What you say is true. You can begin studying as soon as you take the previous exam. But, without the information as to where you failed, the productivity of the preperation is limited. It is like saying, you go for a drive and take off at 70 mph. If the distance between speed limit signs is...

First to the how. There is a set of numbers that equates to the number of people who take the test. These people are made up of first time takers and multiple time takers. There is a finite time between the time one begins studying to take the exam and the time of the exam and for each examinee...

I am working on a response it is long and it is involved logic problem. If you or anyone else wants one, email me and I will send it to you. Still writing will have that shortly.

I agree 100%. I am ex-navy, hazing is a real thing and it does exist in our world.

I am not intending to accuse any particular person or group of people of malignant intent; but, rather an apathetic stance to the plight of examinee. California has chosen to delay the meeting of the Board until July 31st. This long delay maybe necessary for any number of reasons I grant you...

That is not the purpose of my post. My purpose was two fold: one, to qualify problems with the system that I see and second, to give my observations. Do I think that the system will change, it's unlikely. But, that is not a reason to ignore an obvious problem with the system. By putting to...

As it was obvious in my previous posting that I am unhappy with the state of the system in California the question is how do we/they make it better? Here are my suggestions for the Board. 1. Provide detailed descriptions/statistics of our failures on the test. The testing agency provides us...
