I was glad to see the Supertroopers quote -- made me laugh in the middle of my sad and tragic shenanigans!
Mary, did you get to take the PE 4 times in a row in NC because from what I understand you have to wait a year before you can take it after you fail three times? I have failed twice and am waiting to see if I passed in October. What did you have to go through in NC to be able to sit for the 4th time? Also, to answer the previous question, in NC, they push the reapplication date if you fail based on when they send out the results.

Who said we were trying to reflect positively on the profession? Funny pic thread is a great case in point, or what's that one where we waste all the time at work trying to post thousands of messages on a single thread?

I failed 3 times in mech, then waited about 10 years, changed from mech to civil, took the ITRE PE review class offered at NCSU, took it my 4th time in civil and passed. I have a weird story. I was in Civil Engr at NCSU for 3 years, but didn't finish my degree. (I planned to go back, but never did.) Most of my experience was in mechanical, so when I had the required 20 years of experience to qualify, I decided on mech. I never passed it and wanted to go back into civil, so I wrote a letter to the board explaining that my education was in civil and I wanted to return to civil and I was enrolled in the review class. They seated me.
Good luck. And NEVER give up!!!!
That is probably just for first time test takers who have to submit their work experience and all the rest of the mumbo jumbo. If you are a repeat taker you have submitted that stuff and are probably okay. That's the way it is in TN.

In KY you are allowed to take the test 3 times before having to resubmit an application. I'd check your board's website.
In California it's posted on the state engineering web site that the deadline is ONLY for first time test takers and NOT for re-testers. I'm sure there will be a form included with your "We regret to inform you" letter to allow you submit another $275 for the honor of taking the test.

yeah, and you can register for the exam even without the board approval. when you go on ELSES it even says that...they just take the money and proctor the exam, which is different than qualifying people for the exam...which is the deadline referenced above.
the deadline to register for the exam is well after the application deadline. if you have already qualified for the PE, you dont have to re-qualify

Is that the re-exam deadline, or the first time applicant? Because in PA the re-exam deadline is about 1 month after the first timers. Basically its because they have to review the first time applicants, but the re-examers don't have to submit anything but their money. And actually, my first application I got my approval (and request for more money) 2 weeks late but they still accepted my money to allow me to take the exam despite the lateness.

Never mind....should have read all of the responses....apparently many of you guys already said basically the same thing for your states.
