My apologies for arriving to this party so late. I had no idea that everyone was looking for me and sorry to those of you looking for an entertaining FB page.

I just wanted to take a brief moment to answer some questions from all of my fans and haters.

  • Yes, I am the real Justin Stine that some of you have been searching for. However, I refrain from using my all-mighty powers.
  • I am proud to work with the testing group and they are some of the best people that I know. The majority of us aren't paid a dime for the work that we put into it.
  • I did not ask for my face to be on the homepage for testing and it has become a funny part of my life's story. I do kind of hate that still shot pic that you click on before the video starts. Couldn't someone have picked a better time to screenshot the video? It is pretty bad, lol. Maybe it is the face before vomit; I don't really remember that day.
  • Sorry, but I don't grade your exams. I think that there are an army of enslaved robots for that.
  • I am trying to save the world, but I don't think that the political leaders are listening to me.
  • Can we have a chat before you throw a coffee at me in public or fight to the death? I just washed these clothes.
  • It probably isn't necessary to give my picture to the police. People find me everywhere from sports fields, airports, to the zoo. I have no ill will to people's comments of me on here and will happily be the focus of your testing frustration, savior or destroyer of the world, and subject of jokes. I hear some great stories from friends and coworkers about how many of you wish to destroy me and video appearance. Consider it a game of hide and seek if you are looking to release your stress about the exam.
I hope all of you did well on the past exam. If it didn't work out, I do encourage you to try taking the exam again. If anyone just wants to take PE exams again for a painful, yet kind of rewarding, experience, I can put you in touch with some people. Good luck out there. Tag; You are it.
I truly hope this is real, but I'm sure it's not.

All Hail Justin Stine, P.E.! SPAM

 
I take back what I said. Now that I know I passed, I WILL treat you to a nice cup of coffee if I run into you in public.

I blame NCEES for my initial unprovoked anger and rudeness. It was a dark time back then. 

 
I am not about to start sending everyone my photo ID to confirm who I am, but I give you my word that I am the genuine article. 

I will have to start watching the future test results boards to see if future generations care about my picture as much as all of you have, lol.
The legend himself!!!  So how has your career taken off since you became famous on the NCEES?

 
Still haven't received my Oct. 2019 exam result..not kidding...13 weeks after the exam day and 6 weeks after they released the results for everyone else...

I, for one, welcome our Justine Stine, P.E. overlords.

Any idea as to what could be the holdup? You aren't the only person with this problem. There's a theory that it may have to do with the quirks of decoupling the exam from the experience requirement, but still not be eligible to sit for the exam.

I have enough years of direct work experience in the area and the required master's degree from a U.S. public university....

Maybe it's because you don't have an ABET accredited undergrad degree? idk? This is the first time we're seeing this issue come up.

My undergrad degree is from another country but in the same area. It may not be on the ABET list. But I don't think this is the reason since I already registered for EIT.
I will just have to wait for another few weeks....what else can I do.. so helpless. 😔

What is your Board? 

 
What is your Board? 
California. 8 weeks after NCEES released the exam results to other examinees on 12/12/2019 and sent my exam information to the California Board for review, still haven't received anything. They said the review will take "a few weeks". 8 weeks is not "a few weeks", it's 2 months.

Well, I'm not waiting for exam results but I am waiting for my comity application to be approved by the TN board. They said 4 weeks from the accepted application date (Feb 3).

4 Weeks??? Geez, it's like these people have never worked on a project with deliverables before. Like, if I'm the client, I demand my results in 4 days. This is 2019 2020 for heaven's sake! It's a freaking digital application, they should be able to just automate all this and not make me wait 4-f'n-weeks! Like, what am I supposed to do in the meantime?? Just walk around like I'm not a professional engineer in TN? This sucks.

 
This was my 7th time taking Power PE. The April 2018 test was the worst one I've taken and 2 of my attempts were without studying (burn out and also trained for Boston Marathon).

The afternoon wasnt wicked awesome but I didnt think it was that awful.
So sorry for messaging in this thread after so many months. There is literally nothing else to do  during this lockdown so I am spending some time here in this forum. I wanted to say thank you for saying 2018 April was the toughest, that was my first trial and it was an almost a fatal blow to my happiness and sanity as a person! My God! I finally passed on my 3rd attempt but I will never forget April 2018. Power PE is hella crazy!
