Congrats! I've been following your "saga" for the last couple of days. The wait must have been excruciating, but definitely worth it!

BSCE 2009 FE 2009 MSCE 2012 PE 2013 I guess I'm done with engineering tests for pretty much the rest of my life...

People, you have to remember that we all live in different states. Someone mentioned that he knows drafters making 60k. I work for an engineering firm in Florida and I've never met a drafter making that much, but I'm pretty sure that in states where cost of living is much higher than in FL(CA...

Yeah, but the counter arguments would be that 1)For the April test they released the scores for 10 different states on the first day, this time they only released it for 3(TX, CA and KY). 2)They released those April scores for Florida in the early morning, and it's already 10:27 AM :P

This wait is driving my crazy too, does any of you know if the results are posted first on the fbpe.org website?

I've never understood why this is the prevailing view in this forum considering that we are all engineers. Shouldn't we be trying to optimize the amount of time that we are going to use studying for this test? I know some people that have spent ~400 hours studying for this test(and passed of...

I think I probably failed by a couple of questions. I'll post my score if I fail :P

There are probably more people like you, I just had not come across any. That being said, even your case seems very particular since you work in construction. Some of the people I'm talking about work in construction and have gone on to pass Transportation/Geo/Env ... I have never heard of...

I've been reading old topics in these forums, and my conclusion is that there is not enough evidence to get to some of your conclusions. In fact, I believe that some of the evidence we have seems to run in the opposite direction. 1)We know that the passing rate is about ~70% for Civil, but we...

The construction PM was full of really odd/random questions at least in my opinion...

If the institution is accredited by ABET, the Masters should take care of 1 year. I believe that you don't have to work under a PE for your experience to count in FL, as long as you get a PE(it doesn't have to be your boss) to verify the experience for you, you should be ok

You might still have to take statins based on the new guidelines announced today :P

I agree with the others. You already have the academic background (Masters in Hydrology) and you have experience that is somewhat relevant to the field(I know that some companies specifically look for people that are proficient with GIS). If you switch to structural, you'd start from 0 basically.

No OT pay here. But I still somehow find myself working 50-60 every week...

I took the test in October. I'd recommend future test takers to bring all the references listed on the NCEES website, there is a reason why they are there.
