KatyLied's prep is awesome!  To add to the prep for NEC & NESC, you should always bring the right version referred to by the NCEES.  There ARE differences between different release year of NEC and NESC and your answers do make a difference which year you use (I know this for a fact through...

Definitely a must on the brew, especially if you're in Phoenix or Sacramento areas where the temps have been in the 100's all week.  

Yes, self study with practice exams, some text books & information collected from online & this forum.  My experience is that practice exams are hit or miss.   When I did the practice exams, the problems were all so easy.  On the exam, many questions literally caused me headache.  Try to...

I signed up for Georgia Tech PE Prep.  It's an online course with pre-recorded videos.  The course came with a thick (3-inch) binder, from which I used to make tons of notes that were extremely helpful during the exams.  I was able to solve several problems from just my notes & quick formula...

Hi All, I have these for sale.  All in like-new condition (99.92% new)   Georgia Tech Study Binder (3-inch binder): This came with the online course, but the binder alone has so much helpful materials that helped me pass.  It has many shortcuts and tricks on how to solve Power PE problems.  I...

@HotFudge, Another reason for taking it every time is to make sure that you don't miss out on an exam that has more of the material that you know well.  We all try to study the same thing and maybe a little of new material each time we take this exam.  Each time, the exam will cover different...

Congrats Leggo!   Awesome job becoming a Licensed Engineer.   :)    Have you had your big celebration with family/friends yet?  Becoming a PE is one of the most celebrated milestone in an Engineer's life - go for it!

When I receive my stamp, any day now, I'll stamp a whole bunch in different colors (yeah, I got the 2-color ink pad) on my home-made note folder that I used to pass the PE.  I'll keep this home-made note folder along with the bunch of college engineering books I still have on my bookshelves.  ...

CA PE Board only allow 1 address at a time and that's not good.  There should be one for business and one for mailing, imho.  Several of my co-workers use the work address while others use their home addresses and these are all public for all to see.  It's funny how they try to enforce privacy...

GOOD lie!  :)   The type that I like.  Haven't seen it yet though.

Did any one receive an official notification like an email from the CA PE Board stating that you are now licensed engineer?  

Anytime!  If you've already gotten your Fingerprint thingy done & approved by the board, then I think you've done everything as required & are good to go.  I did it back in 2015 when the fingerprint requirement was just announced.  I made sure a board person sent me an email telling me...

Yes.  I'm Electrical, got posted this morning when I checked at 4:30am.

Been too excited and forgot about the stamp.  Gotta do that now and while at it, do the new business card :P .  Where's everybody ordering the stamp?  

I'm feeling awesome this very day!   :D .  I've been obsessively checking the license look up page and at 4:30am this morning, I finally found what I've been waiting for, my name among the other licensed engineers.  What a great moment!  Starting today, I can put ", P.E." after my name in the...

First thing I've checked during morning coffee everyday since I got the NCEES result.  I've been a nervous wreck.  As of today, no longer - It's a great feeling knowing that I'm now officially a  P.E.  :D     Congrats to all the newly registered engineers.   For those that didn't make it this...

I sent in the "notification of successful examination" last Friday and received this today from the CA PE Board  "Your notice has been received. Once it has been determined you are qualified for licensure, you will be placed on the next licensing list. Licensing lists are finalized in the middle...

Well said!  passing the exam is the most important.  I've been enjoying and basking in its glory.  Will definitely have a great 3-day weekend and of course will check PE lookup again & again  :D
