Does anyone know of someone who made a low score the first time around but eventually passed the PE? I am thinking about not taking it again due to a low score. I studied hard and even took a review course. I was just very slow.
Each test is different from the previous. Looks like you are aware of what is your problem. Now, you can do one of two things:Does anyone know of someone who made a low score the first time around but eventually passed the PE? I am thinking about not taking it again due to a low score. I studied hard and even took a review course. I was just very slow.

I believe its supposed to be with a russian accentIn my best mexican accent (not sure why I always think of this phrase being said with a mexican accent!)... "You can dooo it!"
Being slow at solving problems does not make you a bad engineer in my opinion. It probably just means that you are thinking things through carefully. In the actual practice of engineering, it is much more important to get the right answer than to get an answer fast. You can increase your speed by doing lots of practice problems. The only way to fail is to give up, so you should take the test again in October.Does anyone know of someone who made a low score the first time around but eventually passed the PE?

Hey 4william DON"T QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hey, 4william! You CAN'T quit. It's not an option. You CAN pass. I passed on my 4th attempt. I let a lot of time pass between #3 and #4, which was a mistake. From reading your post, I would suggest a lot of practice problems, and at least one practice exam. Familiarize yourself with all of the references.
I think one of my attempts was similar to your experience. I read and studied A LOT, but didn't work problems.
Don't get discouraged. We're here for you.
4william - Don't dare give up. I really don't need the PE for my job, so my pursuit is more of a personal thing. I have been unsuccessful in several attempts, and it is discouraging. But you have to stick with it! Engineering is not a race, but the exam makes it so. You can be a fabulously talented engineer, and struggle with the exam due to the volume of questions in a short time. Then it becomes a test of learning to gauge your time, throw out useless question info, etc.. This will come with practice. After I pass, I will disclose how many times I have sat in that room (I do not have an engineering degree).Does anyone know of someone who made a low score the first time around but eventually passed the PE?

HEY!!! I don't have a degree, either. I never went back to finish my last year. (Stupid mistake, but it seemed okay at the time.) Once I got into engineering, the consultant I was working for encouraged me to take the exams to get my PE license. I passed EIT on 2nd attempt, PE on 4th attempt. And, I'm sure PEPG will agree that when you put PE behind your name, it doesn't matter how many times you took the exam.After I pass, I will disclose how many times I have sat in that room (I do not have an engineering degree).
