I started getting those about the time I received my pass letter. These are just automatic emails and you should not read any more into them. Once you have received your pass letter, just kindly ask them to take your name off the list.

You need to repeat your 3rd grade geography class; the capital of AL is Montgomery, not Birmingham.

voll - I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but here is something I found in 1999 in an alt. something newsgroup and had saved in my "PE File". And remember, please do not discuss the exam with others.
Alabama Professional Engineering Exam
1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10-1b. possum.
2. Which of the following cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard:
a. '66 Ford Fairlane

3. If your uncle builds a still that operates at a capacity of 20 g/hr of moonshine, how many car radiators are necessary to condense the product?
4. A pulpwood cutter has a chain saw that operates at 2700 rpm. The density of the pine trees in a plot to be harvested is 470 trees/acre. The lot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many Budweiser Tall-Boys will it take to cut the trees?
5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented a charge of R-12 simultaneously, what would be the decrease in the ozone layer?
6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 14-in centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 ft and the porch length is 16 ft. The porch floor is 1 in. rough-sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many hound dogs will be killed?

For extra credit, how many of the vehicles that swerved will have working mufflers and uncracked windshields?
