I live in AZ and received my results on June 7 in '08, the test was taken on April 11. I was the first person to post results, I think because the theory was that the mailing distribution may have been in alphabetical order? Not my theory, but a poster's at that time. Regardless, if ELSES...

Although those who are waiting for scores will probably not care to hear this, it is pointless to try and use any past results, posted failed results, etc., to try and compute a cut score. As has already been stated, only the scorers at NCEES know what is what, just as only Procol Harum knows...

My immediate need was to get promoted and make more money. I am with a city engineering department. However, it's nice to know that there are now more opportunities that I didn't have before I got it. Having just recently turned 40, I can honestly say that I have never had any specific goals...

I received a 5% raise and placed into a higher pay scale. I work for a municipality as does my wife. Together we make pretty good wages and can feel like we have made it in life. I have worked in the private sector for 11 years and now 3 in the public. I have come across a few small business...

I agree, the geotech in the CERM made me feel uneasy going into the exam. I would bet that was my lowest percentage of sections in the am session.

It's funny in a way how this started by the original poster simply asking if anyone had experienced this before. I never read in his/her post if they were asking if it was right or not. The engineer mainly wanted to know if the reciprocity would work in other states based on how they recieved...

Here is a link that helps explain ther veteran's preference points process. It looks as though GA does not comply with the federal intent, due to the mention of needing to receive a passing score of 70 before the points can be considered...

I'm a veteran in Arizona. I passed the test here in Arizona in April 08, but in between waiting for the results and the test, I did some research regarding Arizona's policy on veteran preference points. Arizona will allow up to 5 points, but not to make your grade a passing grade. This policy...

Willie, I used the HP35s due to my past experience with RPN through the HP48x and the HP32sII from my past schooling and work. I am a huge believer in RPN and I have always liked the quality of the HP calculators. I was going to try the HP33, but read bad reviews on it and the picture on web...

I graduated in '94 with 24 other CE students in Texas and all of us that took the FE in our last semester passed. I think with smaller graduating classes your chances go way up just because of the numbers taking it. Although, if you base this on statistics, any given population should produce...

Good post.

BigChil, First of all, I can empathize with you on waiting for the results. Having to wait 4 months is extremely unreasonable, especially since it leaves you very little time to know if you need to retake the exam. It may be easy to say that a logical person should be able to make the quick...

Howdy Ya'll! Just wanted to congratulate all the new Texas PEs. I graduated from UTA in '94 but live in Arizona now. Passed the FE my Senior year but went into the construction field and never thought I would need a PE so never took the exam. I got a job a year ago with a smaller City just...

You sound like an unhappy person. Maybe try some yoga. Being purged or kicked off this website will only make me stronger. I will not go away. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. And by the way, I passed. What's more, this is my post number 25...

Hey Junior Engineer, Have not received anything from the board yet. I passed here in AZ as well. It seems that the AZBTR needs to update the website. It seems that the ELSES registration for the test is fairly new and that many of the steps that are required to register for the test with...
