    EET vs. SoPE

    I took school of PE for FE prep and EET for breadth and depth on the PE. Passed WRE first attempt in April 2017. I would go with EET hands down.  SoPE's PE review could be different but it felt more like I was sitting through an online instructional video. EET felt more like a real class if...

    RIP Tom Petty

    Been listening to him the past couple days. My old band used to cover some of his songs. Show was going down hill and Last Dance with Mary Jane would always get the drunk crowd singing along lol. He was one of the greats for sure.  Into the great wide open

    Flat Earthers

    I think we are all forgetting the biggest conspiracy of them all. The one that is right under our noses...crab people

    Flat Earthers

    So I always thought that the flat earthers didn't actually believe the earth was flat but just wanted to claim something outrageous to spark interest in their belief that people should do their own research and challenge the scientists for proof or something along those lines. I didn't realize...

    Need Advise, FE Civil

    Have you taken a review class? I would try that. They can really help focus in on the topics needed to pass. I used EET for the PE and they were awesome. I can't comment specifically on their FE prep but I would look into it. Other than that I always find I retain more material working problems...

    Dumb LinkedIN Recruiter Email of the day thread...

    And if you don't mind the smell. My father in law worked at a paper mill his whole life. Says it smells like money. I disagree...

    Running out of practice tests (CE - transportation)

    Seems to be a lot of people trying to share material this session. Do I need to find & share the piracy warning from one of my old VHS tapes?

    I have some questions!

    I think these are best tackled one at a time. I would just focus on the FE at this point. When you are ready to take the PE many have already joined the workforce and are narrowing in on their specialty. That helps them choose what PE exam would be the most beneficial. I know not everyone has...

    NEC reference cards ok to bring?

    I saw a girls binder come open when she was removing it from her tote in the middle of the exam. A bunch of  pages fell out and she wasn't allowed to use it at all. Yes it's up for interpretation and she probably would have been allowed to reassemble it under 9 out of 10 proctors but I would...

    October 2017 PE Prep.

    I believe they keep them the same for at least a few test cycles. The test specs haven't changed so it should still be relevant. If you have the CERM I would suggest reading the geotech and structures sections from start to finish and working the example problems as you go. If you get lost just...

    Total Eclipse of the ?? (Heart) .. no the sun

    Pin hole method worked great here. Clear skys probably helped. Made the hole really small at first and didnt do much. Went to 1/8" and was great. A bunch of folks brought welding lenses to office as well. I thought it was a pretty cool experience.

    Lindeburg FE Review Manual "Rapid Preparation"

    I used this book and took the computer based FE about 8 years out of school. The problems in this book are longer than what you will see on the exam. If I am remembering correctly he will combine multiple steps in each problem which typically isnt the case on FE. It is a good reference and if...

    how long to approve PE application in Texas?

    I just went through this exact thing. It took around 2 months. Admin review was the longest. Once it went to technical review it seemed like about a week later I was approved.

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    The Ozarks on netflix is pretty good. I've been a fan of Jason Bateman since teen wolf II so that could be it. He's the poor mans's Micheal J. Fox.
