I took the exam here October 2018. I was extremely worried about the logistics of taking the exam here, but it ended up being a decent place to take the exam. Some tips/info I can give to you. 1. Make sure you bring cash for parking. I don't remember how much it was, but bring a $20 and you...

There are a lot of engineers in Texas. When I took the exam, there were probably over 1000 people in the room. So you probably see a lot of us in the boards :)

1. I would look at your state’s rules about numbers of attempts and all that.  Sometimes there are rules about number of attempts in a certain time period. You may also be able to skip the lengthy application process if you take the next available exam. If you skip it they may require you to go...

I have 2 (from different states). You better believe I am going to hang them in my office at home to make myself feel accomplished. People outside the field have no idea what it means, so hopefully they will be impressed

I do not anymore, it has already been sold

Good luck to you! I was super stressed about writing the SER and it really wasn't a huge deal.

Yes, I submitted everything  around December 20th and got my license number on January 17th. I work for a local government permitting office, so I review about 30-40 different projects per week. So for my SER, I did a brief summary of what I review for in all projects and any other...

Below are the links for some transportation study materials and some other miscellaneous engineering books, most of which are still on the suggested references for the April exam. May consider discounting if multiple items are purchased. Local pickup also possible (West Houston). Let me know if...

My SER was a whopping 3 pages. I’ve only ever worked at one place and I don’t do design, so I just kind of summarized what I do at work and typical projects I would review. I really don’t think they are too particular as long as you have your recommendations and that your job sounds engineering...

You might be able to petition the board to waive this requirement. I think they usually require you to take some additional engineering courses or something like that, but it definitely can't hurt to ask! You are definitely not the first person in this position.

I am adding my comment in here hoping that it will help move my application along! Seemed to have worked for other people. Edit: this seemed to have worked! For some reason my application was moved into technical review at 5 am on a Sunday  Second edit: Still in technical review. Hoping...

If you look at the specifications from NCEES, they state  "PE exam specifications and design standards are posted 6 months before the exam administration. Updates for the April exams are posted in November, and updates for the October exams are posted in May." The specifications still state...

I brought a full on wagon to carry all my stuff-transportation has about 13 references-I definitely had one of the biggest hauls of anybody. Despite what other people on here have said about the more references you bring, the more likely you will fail, I did pass with a score 82%, so take that...

I believe you get a packet with a form to fill out for them to approve your seal. I printed the form out from TBPE and it looks like you need to stamp the paper and provided a passport-like photo. I would assume additional information would be provided with that form on seal requirements, name...

I am glad I am not the only one that has to recheck. I rechecked each time I told someone new lol. I still think they made a mistake, but both the NCEES and TBPE websites show that I passed!

I need to do that now. I wished I would have done it right after the exam so that I would have something official to show for passing, but I was pretty sure I failed pretty badly. I did do the fingerprinting and ethics exam, so I just need to write up my SER and get recommendations, which is a...

I had a similar situation. I did everything right the day before: took the day off, got up somewhat early, took my dog for a long walk, went to see a movie, ate a decently healthy dinner and got in bed around 10. Laid in bed and stared at the ceiling all night. As time went on, I was so angry...

I appreciate it and I’ve seen you posting a lot. Congrats on passing! If everything would have gone according to my plans I had in college, I would have been licensed about 6 years ago. But now I have the dreaded exam over with and it will be a lot more fun to ask for recommendations now that I...

I think I will just go through TBPE. I feel like the process is a lot clearer and its not like I can't create an NCEES record later. I am not sure how I would submit my ethics exam score and all that if I went through NCEES. I just did everything kind of backwards because I was just shy of 4...
