    Errors in NCEES practice exam

    That's essentially what the solution does though. It takes the pressure over a reduced area

    Errors in NCEES practice exam

    I am also getting 2.72ksf. M = 1000 k*ft  P = 120k  a = 24'/2   e = 1000k-ft / 120k = 8.33' a = 24'/2 - e = 3.67' (Distance from e to overturning toe) x = 3*a = 11' (bearing length from overturning moment) Increased bearing pressue, p = (2*P)/Width*x = (2*120kip)/(8ft*11ft) = 2.72 ksf

    PE structural depth questions

    Yeah it's $40 from NCEES, I've purchased it but haven't reviewed it yet. I'd like to put in some solid studying before taking it to gauge how well (or not well) prepared I am with time to up my study habits if need be.

    Took the PE early but still waiting on experience, can I jump states?

    I can see the draw in taking it before you've reached your 4 years of experience. This way even if you fail once or twice before passing you still ensure you can have your PE at the moment you reach 4 years of experience.

    PE structural depth questions

    Why not just buy the Structural Depth practice exam from NCEES?

    my experience with school of pe electrical prep for CBT so far.....

    I wouldn't rely on Testmasters either. I was registered for their Philadelphia course and they cancelled it due to low numbers only a week before it was to start. It really set me back since I was counting on their course to get me prepped so I hadn't started studying (2 months from the exam)...

    Has anyone taken the CBT version of the FE?

    As for the FE in general, not particularly the CBT, I thought the other disciplines was much harder than the CE I had taken before. The other disciplines seemed like the collection of the most difficult questions of the morning session. Versus the CE section which had a broader spectrum of...

    Oh yes I homebrew. Started this year, 16 batches under my belt, 11 all grain. I finished exam day with a Founders Breakfast stout and some of my pumpkin ale. Cheers!

    Failed FE October 2013

    wirelessengineer, I doubt 60% is the cut. We'd hear of many more people with scores in the low 130's, upper 120's. However, most of the posts are high 110s and mid to low 120s. IMO at least

    Failed FE October 2013

    So far the highest reported failing score is 118. It's crazy to me that Texas gives you the scaled %, that basically tells you the cut for that exam, in that region. Also 114 pts = 69% scaled mean 116 was passing for that state or region. And in the past people have reported 133 failing scores...

    CBT FE Exam

    I would imagine the scoring will be done exactly the same just relative to the number of questions.

    Emailed the PA licensing board, here's what I recieved: 'Dear Mr. ____, Thank you for your email inquiry. Please note that the Board does not administer the exam; therefore we do not release the results. Result letters will be sent from PCS, and NCEES then releases the scores on their...
