I live in NJ and I have tried to register via the NCEES website for the SE exam with no luck. I have sent an email to ncees and I am currently awaiting a reply. I am not looking forward to traveling to Illinois.

My license number was added to the NJ board website yesterday. I guess that means they processed my activation application.

GRE is pretty easy exam for an engineer. The math portion is simple college algebra, trig, geometry. The verbal portion was pretty straight forward.

Anyone know how long it takes to be on the NJ website? or to receive a hard copy of your license?

I had a Mustang for a few years. Fun car at first but got sick of it quick. I've become a loyal Chevy man since. I love the new Camaro, but I will be driving my Silverado for the foreseeable future.

Where can I get general info on the SE Exam? I live in NJ and work in NY/NJ and I do not think either state honors the SE. I have read recently in professional publications that the SE may be added to many more states in the near future, especially with the new test in April 2011. I would...

I usually break the test up into sections. In the PE case, I broke it up into 4 parts simply by question number. I went through the whole exam, taking the time to answer any and all questions I knew right off the bat. When I get to the end, I start going backwards. For some reason question...

Northern Jersey. 6' foot shared tables. Regular school chairs. Food and drink was allowed, but nothing on the tables.

I would bring every reference manual you can get your hands on. Whatever list NCEES suggests, bring it. I took the structural PM and did not have AASHTO or ASCE-7 and wanted to kick myself on a couple of gimme questions. I wound up passing but wouldve been distraught if I didnt knowing I may...

I think everyone would agree that structural is the hardest of the disciplines, but for me it just came naturally because its what I enjoy. I know I'm a geek but I like calculating steel, concrete, etc. I find it harder to concentrate on environmental or transportation problems and couldn't...

I did not need it. I have the Civ Eng Ref Manual and every equation and example problem is in there.

Below are my responses: 1. In what state did you appear for your PE - NJ 2. What was your discipline. Civil-Structural 3. How many questions did you think you answered correctly -35 AM, 30 PM 4. How many were guesses - Total - 10 5. Did you pass or fail. - Pass

Took Civil/Structural. Passed first attempt Studied about 70 hours including a review class. Important to review all the breadth but don't go crazy. Spend most of your time on depth questions.

I have to do more research, but I am thinking to hold off on SE until spring 2011 because of the change. Seems a bit screwy how its gonna work this fall.

Passed Civil/Structural First Try What a relief to finally get results.
