FWIW the sooner she takes it, the easier it is.

True statement! I waited too long to take it and now studying for all the stuff that i no longer deal with is making me crazy!

But of course, the younger you are the better. Test taking is a skill that deteriorates over time. The numbers prove that.

Shes taken the FE at least once and didn't pass so she's just ignoring it i dont blame her

One of my coworkers flunked the FE and taking it again in August...then he told me if I pass he wants my stuff for October. He cray cray.

Finally decided to create my own account..  been creeping on this post to try to glean any information that I could. Glad to see that I am not the only one trying to predict things.

I don't know, I think it's best to take the PE right after the FE since a lot of the information is the same.  Strike while the iron is hot as they say.

Absolutely. I moved from Maryland to Wisconsin after the FE and didn't research the rule difference. I could have sat that October when things were still semi-fresh and pre-kids and then patiently waited 3 years to apply for the actual license. Hindsight...

...Hindsight...is 2019...which is hopefully when we'll get our results.

true that. Told my coworker he could have it...IF I pass.

It depends on the state, but most do not require the candidate to test in the same discipline as their degree(s).

There are 11 jurisdictions that license based on discipline, and limit stamping to work related to that discipline.

Contact the board and ask them to state exactly what they need. It may be a missing form, missing reference, or just a snafu on their end.

You would still need the experience, but you could take the exam before you get all of the requisite experience. Many states already require SE to do certain structural work.

With regards to these 11 jurisdictions, are we only talking structural (e.g., structural plans can't be stamped by someone who didn't pass the structural exam) or does this apply to all disciplines?

Knowing these specific states would be helpful for folks seeking reciprocity down the line.

Hey this happened to me after I moved to Kentucky.

Does anyone know the typical result posting times? Like earliest vs the latest the emails get sent out? At some point I have got to stop refreshing the page

It's buried somewhere in this thread. I guess you didn't creep good enough

Eight to ten weeks.

Eight to ten weeks.

I meant time of day but thank you.

Since we are all waiting for the April results, has anyone tried to login to MyNCEES and attempted to register for a PE Exam (Especially the year round 4 CBT disciplines), but found it unavailable now? Or all like me still have them available?

You can't divine anything from the exam registration part of the site. Stop looking into it.

Next session, I'm specifically adding this nonsense to the description of Futile Exercise B (trying to figure out how to get results before they come out).

I don't think a woman growing a beard is possible.

With regards to these 11 jurisdictions, are we only talking structural (e.g., structural plans can't be stamped by someone who didn't pass the structural exam) or does this apply to all disciplines?

Structural is almost always a separate license.

I'm referring to the jurisdictions that license based on the major disciplines: mechanical, electrical, civil, environmental, etc

First, it aint happening today.

We've noticed that the initial release can happend pretty much at any time. We've seen it happen pretty late into the evening. We've only started formally tracking it the last few sessions. Anecdotally, the last four years it appears to only happen during east coast business hours. i.e. 8:30-5:30.

So if people really want to engage in Futile Exercise D (reading the tea leaves). Here's how to do it:

0) spam the spam thread

1) Go to the NCEES results page. The one you've been F5'ing nonstop this week.

2) Take a screenshot

3) DON'T post that sht here.

4) Paste it into a word document.

5) Over the next few days, take note if anything looks different. Maybe something will start looking different mid-morning-ish

6) screenshot it, and paste it into the same word doc

7) compare the two screengrabs

#8 if something is actually different, report the difference in the spam thread

9) a vet will let you know if its a real sign of impending release or not

10) continue spamming the spam thread

Funny I felt I crushed it last go around and failed and this time I feel like I did not do well!!! Wait and See

Thats terrible! Feeling like you passed and end up failing. Hope I can avoid that.

They explicitly told us not to memorize the exam? I didnt read that anywhere.
