Man screw that. It's cheaper for me to just apply to AZ directly with just slightly more work. 

You can always go take it for fun.

The FE was so easy as a CBT. A lot of the questions you could word search in the PDF and have the answer in 15 seconds. Obviously the PE would be a little tougher but I don't think it would be too bad. There would be no more screwing up the scantron.  We have to save trees right? Though it will...

Same old logic applies. Just because I do CEs doesn't mean I'm worth a damn as an engineer. I have seen plenty of incompetent people that can check a box to stay current.  Just like having a PE. 

It's the military, we do some strange things. What I was fed is we need a license to be on par with our peers in industry (civil engineering specifically). I am not a civil engineer, and will not be doing any engineering (other than the contingency type) and will certainly not be stamping...

Thank you for replying to my question. So can I just apply for an actual license in AZ and then let the NC one lapse?  It doesn't actually matter what state I physically took the test in right?   And I understand what people are saying about CE's and I agree. If I was a practicing engineer I...

I have a comity question. If you get licensed in another state is it ok to let the original license you got from the state you took the test in lapse?  I took the test and am licensed in NC but plan on getting comity in AZ and only keep the AZ license because they don't have a CE requirement. If...

I agree with the above. In my case, interestingly enough, the problems in the TF practice exam were harder for me than the ones on the exam I took.  It was a nice surprise but I still did a crap ton of other problems to make sure I was comfortable with as much of the material as possible. 

Does this mean we can use their service to apply for comity again?  I remember reading it would be down until sometime in late June. 

They are all the hardest. Unless you are an idiot savant or go-buy-a-lottery-ticket lucky you will not pass without a good amount of studying. In my opinion, the "easiest" test will be the one most in line with whatever you got a degree in. 

Difficulty is relative to the person taking the test. And without some really horrendous statistics there is no way to correlate pass rates to test difficulty. And even then those analysis would be based on a lot of qualitative data (like perceived difficulty) and probably be meaningless.

You studied for 500 hours?  Yeah, you would have been fine with only 400 :) .

Do you have to have an ME PE?  I have been working in the civil field since graduating almost 6 years ago but took the TF exam because my degree is in aerospace and that's the closest thing NCEES has for us aeronautical engineers. So even though it's been a bit, it was much easier for me to...

This is another one of those different strokes for different folks arguments. You need to find out what works for you and fits your schedule. I for one have a short attention span so it was 1 hour max for me. And on the family and work thing, a lot of us have been there and done that and passed ?.
