I've seen much worse taken away! One time a proctor took away this chicks composition books. She had about 3 of them and the proctor claimed that they weren't allowed. I know the rules say you can't have legal pads I don't remember seeing anything about composition notebooks though. I felt so...

I wouldn't really say that typically I'm good at eliminating answers but this time around I did that in many cases. I was able to read through a problem and scratch 2 choices out. Again doesn't mean I didn't fall for the NCEES traps. But in all my past attempts I didn't feel like process of...

Stay positive guys. Hopefully you both passed it!!! I'm a multiple time test taker as well and yeah it's definitely ruff on the family. My daughter was over my excuses by the weekend before the exam.  :laugh: I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I got it this time.

I took Power too and felt the same.  So now I'm just waiting to see if I get that NCEES Post Exam Survey. That's the tell-tale right?!?!?  :laugh:

I took Power and feel pretty good about the AM not so confident about the PM.  I'm definitely a solid 1 right now. Sitting at work trying to refocus on what pays the bills.

I agree. Oct. 18 was brutal. Some of the questions were so out there that I didn't even know where to begin.  This time I feel like I killed the AM session. PM was a different story but with some legwork I feel like I was able to get through most of them. Will it be enough......I'll let you...

I had a quarter life crisis in my mid twenties! I plan on living until at least 100 so this is the term I came up with. It was seriously legit though!!!

Awesome! Thanks! I will definitely print that out, read it and add it to my binder.

Do you have any good protection resources? Maybe youtube channels that cover protection topics? That is definitely a weak area for me. Any problems that I've found in practice exams are no where near the level of difficulty that gets thrown at you in the exam.

Have you purchased the NEC Handbook tabs? They are amazing. I tend to do well with a little bit of over the counter help. I can take one benadryl and be ok the next day if I take 2 I'm groggy all morning but that's just me. You should do what works for you. Don't test something new out the...

Will you be inserting it behind a clear plastic cover? If so I would think you're good. If not I would just tape your cover sheet down. All of my binders are different colors so I know when I come to a Protection problem that's in my blue binder, motors are in purple so on and so forth. In each...

I use this macgyver esque watch and just make sure the alarm function is turned off. At my testing location some rooms have clocks and some don't, but one of the rooms is so large that I couldn't see it well. They never said anything to us about digital watches. People who used clocks had to put...

Was it full size? Did you have any issues with space around your desk during the exam? That's the main reason I haven't tried that yet.

HAHA..yeah I can see that being an issue! My testing location only has a couple curbs in the parking lot I have to go over. Last time I took the test my books were overflowing from my little crate which resulted in this story. I may try luggage this time  :laugh:  

At the testing location in NC they allow suitcases. I've seen some bring in fill size luggage.

It doesn't have wheels. Depending on how many references you have it will be heavy to lug around. The testing facility I'm at may require a long walk depending on how early I get there. Here's what I use.

Whatever you choose to do you just want to make sure you are able to hear the proctors. They will notify you of the 15min, 5min and 1min mark.

Each session can contain problems from any section of the exam spec. topics

OH JUST WAIT!!!! This forum will blow up after the exam!!! Especially around 4 weeks post exam. @RBHeadge PE will post a link to a very lengthy topic that guides you through the stages of post exam life.
