extremely close!

The OP has already succeeded beyond all belief.  The survey joke wasn't working so he engineered another.  Nice going.

it is the ONLY indicator we know of passing/failing this early in the game.  

did anyone get the dreaded survey after the exam?  it almost certainly means you failed - NCEES looks to gather info from the non-passing test takers. the one time i failed i got it, when i passed i didn't receive it.  hopefully none of you already failed.

Hate to be that guy, but if everyone thinks it was "easier" then you can surely expect the passing grade to go up?

let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.  must be a real timid group that just took it.  usually there is something posted and there's nothinggggg

Good lucky everyone.  I must say, after taking this twice, passing the second time, I will be looking forward to harassing everyone up until the results are released (as everyone did before me).  Even after passing I still visited this site quite often because I was so obsessed with the exam. ...

there were literally questions i answered in 15 secs or less.  if you are prepared, you will have some very easy ones and you will spend time on the hard ones.  I had time to search every index of every book.  Now there weren't 10-15 of these questions where I had no clue and was searching for a...

Yes, it was normal.  I'm sure proctors thought i was a  mess.  I literally had books all around me and i was ferociously looking through them.  I had some at my feet, under my chair, on my desk, behind me, in the suitcase etc.  No one complained or asked me to move anything.  As long as it...

i brought a suitcase and it weighed nearly 100 lbs.  But i wasn't leaving any possible resource at home.  If you're fast enough, you will have plenty of time to search for that weird question in every book; I did.

how has it changed in difficulty for the other PE exams that have done it already?

You'll never know how much time you will have...you may have lots of it, therefore, if you can carry it - bring it

Bring anything and everything.  I had 100 lbs of stuff.  I looked through it all.  There were weird questions and equipment I had never heard of before.  You will search every index of every book. I also found an extremely discrete example in one of my books that helped me solve an exam...

I posted this elsewhere from my feelings: Very Easy 5 Easy 10  Medium 50 Hard 10 Very Hard 5 (no clue/straight guesses) Very easy were answered maybe less than 30 seconds - includes reading, answering, no lookup or simple calculator.   Easy were no lookups but maybe more reading or more...

Here's what I did the second time I took the exam that I thought worked really well. For both exams, I had a cheat sheet, but I also had highlighted problems in practice exams that I wanted to study and stick out during the exam.  But after studying for two exams, I found things that I was so...

I hear ya...  I remember being annoyed with this as well, I think I saw the exact same thing/equation in Graffeo? What I would say, is I would expect any type of question regarding motor current to be an NEC lookup; which in your case, using the NEC I see the FLC = 118A.   I think most of the...

Yes I would call it useful, exactly how i did, and here are the sections - wasn't aware i had to be this specific Chapter 5 - Three phase power systems (PDF, 1.82 MB) Chapter 6 - Transmission lines (PDF, 2.92 MB) Chapter 7 - Rotating machines (PDF, 1.13 MB) Chapter 5 - Worked solutions...
