The EPA "Orientation Manuals" were useful for me on the test. Legrega was key though overall for the test and it has some reg things in the first first chapters....

I would say that the breath would have to be a large part of the reason. But also perhaps the makeup of people taking it. A lot of people out there taking the Environmental PE exam work only in one of the "medias" ...that is to say they are wastewater, or drinking water, or air dispersion, or...
55%...wow..I had thought Environmental were usually among the top as far as pass rates in the past...dead last this test (not counting Software as it was the first time ever offered). Sorry to hear the about the "not passing".

I would have to agree for the most part with all the previous posts.
The morning was much much more difficult to me. The morning session def had me grasping at concepts rather than finding answers in my references. I was kind of disappointed at the number break up of problems. I felt there...
I was looking at this issue myself. I can't beleive that the 2 states which (to me) have the most outwardly environmental policies don't have the PE in Environmental! California and Hawaii! I use to live in Hawaii and was looking at their board's requirements....looks like I'll have to go...
I found that it had much more Air and Remediation questions than I expected. I would go as far as to say it was over the prescibed percentages that they said were going to be in there. Course I'm bias as a water guy, but still.
The most annoying thing to me were the unit conversions...really...
Which state are you in?
Are you sure that your Master degree was ABET? Last time I checked most of the master degree programs offered are not ABET...just because the BS at the school is accredited does not mean the MS is. (There are a few MS programs out there that are specifically accredited...
Little off topic but....
Be careful what you say there Peele1. Although I agree with you in practice and principle about the EIT/EI not being a license...in some states it is. By no means does this mean you are a "licensed engineer" or any other protected word. However because the individual...
Right now I'm gathering my references...got the NCEES example q's and I'm working through them slowly...finding out if my references have the info needed to solve these (equations in sol'n are in my references).
Going to start going through the ENVRM2 very soon and start drilling on that. I...
