Let's share your thoughts here about the October 2011 exam and how you prepare it.
Actually I started studying about 2 weeks ago following the ENVRM2 chapters. Even if I skipped the “Background and Support” chapters, I still have to study around two entire chapters a week until the exam (including reading specific references and doing practice problems) and I’m starting thinking this will be hard to achieve, especially for areas I never studied before (air pollution etc.)I didn't really start studying until July for the October exam. I think it's better to get an earlier start. Hopefully a few others will turn up in here for this cycle. Guaranteed, there are already a dozen or so "lurking" and just not registering or posting yet. If so, I encourage you to go ahead and post. This can be an excellent stress reliever during studying, as a place to vent, or ask questions about practice problems, references, what to expect, whatever.
I typically prepare it using a light vinegrette and a dollop of creme fraiche...Let's share your thoughts here about the October 2011 exam and how you prepare it.
Welcome, ratomast! Don't let your years out of school prevent you from taking the exam. Just give yourself enough time to get back into studying/problem solving/exam taking mode. On the Civil with Water Res and Env, you will have to take the morning general (IIRC), which includes transportation, structural, geotech, etc.Hi all! I am new to the Engineer Boards. I am considering signing up for the OCT 2011 exam. I have been out of school for 25 years and am very nervous about the exam. I am employed by a consulting firm doing light environmental work. I can't decide between the Civil with Water Resources and Environmental vs. Environmental designation. Does anyone know the difference between the exams. I have a Petroleum Engineering degree but never practiced Petroleum Engineering. Also, any suggestions about prep courses?
I have similar qualifications, though not exactly...the first time I took the petroleum exam...the second time I took the environmental exam and got a pass. Go with what you practice in your job, and good luck!Hi all! I am new to the Engineer Boards. I am considering signing up for the OCT 2011 exam.

I actually just got approved to take the exam a couple of weeks ago. So that is taken care of, now the hard part.One word of caution, though, ratomast - you might be too late to register for the October exam. To take the exam, in most states anyway, you need to submit a full PE application by sometime in June. Check with your state licensing board. Otherwise, you can get an early start studying for the April 2012 exam.
I am planning to take the exam in october. But I have not heard back from the board on approval. How long did it take for you to get the approval since you submitted the application?
