I am trying to see if anyone has taken the exam a 4th time in Texas consecutively and been successful. If anyone has any insight, tips, or words of encouragement.
My first attempt was in October 2017, then April 2018, then October 2018. In Texas you are allowed to take the exam three (3) times in a four (4) year window.
According to TBPE site:
"I took the PE exam and did not pass. What do I do now?
Once you are approved to take the PE exam, you have three (3) chances to sit for the exam in a four year period. If you have taken the exam and did not pass, you may simply register for the next exam available. You do not need to re-apply. If you did not pass the PE exam within the three allotted opportunities, you will need to re-apply to take the exams. You must gain at least one year of additional engineering experience from the time you are notified of failure to pass the third exam, or complete six credit hours of college engineering course before you can re-apply. (Board Rule §133.87(c))"
I am pretty certain that I will not be eligible to take the exam until October 2019, does that seem correct? Could I take the exam in another state or should I take a break and re-take in October? Should I contact my state board with this inquiry?
