Thanks Denver, I will! that's for sure.  I actually started studying again last night although not much was done, because I still had the occasional sulking episodes- couldn't help it :-(   I'm determined to pass the PE Exam though!  Many thanks to this board for all your supports, tips/advice...

Jnu, I studied for 4 months giving up weekends & evening time and good decent meals to dedicate for this exam.  I thought I had it walking in the exam room.  Many questions stunned me and like you I thought I could not have studied for those topics.  By the end of the exam, I thought I did a...

Congrats to all who passed the exam.  It's truly an accomplishment we engineers can be proud of.  Unfortunately, I didn't make it.  Failed the Electrical Power on my first run and I feel I'm down in a pit ...   Don't really know how to get myself up at this point :( ; much less enjoy the...

Failed the Electrical Power on my first run. This is one depressing Holiday Season for me; if I can even call it Holiday.  Don't really know how to get myself up at this point :(

I'm with you on this.  I was anxious the first day, but been numb since then.  It's better to be hopeless about CA now and if there's a pleasant surprise, then I can enjoy it.  Otherwise, no disappointment.   I can't believe they screw up that badly?   It's almost like they did it on purpose...

Thank you for the tips.  I brought the Ugly's reference book with me too, but I didn't use it at all.  Unfortunately, I used the long way to calculate thinking that I will get the correct answer for sure instead of second guessing.  If the Ugly's is good for look up of certain problems, then...

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if you get the results before we do here in CA as the USPS probably delivers your mail there.  The CA PE Exam results are being delivered by our Hightech Digital Pony Express Service, one of the "least fastest" among today's delivery services.

To me PE cannot be used to determined one's knowledge, experience, or intelligence.  There are just so many things in Engineering in general and one cannot know EVERYTHING.  In addition to that, the test questions are all different every time and every engineer has different...

I used the following for the EE Power Exam: Electrical Engineer's Guide to Passing PE (Graffeo) Complex Imaginary Volume 1-4 NCEES Practice Exam Notes collected from E.B. NEC Code Handbook 2014 NESC Handbook 2012 I thought I had the material down very well, but found myself struggle quite...

That's how I read it too.  By the way, did you send the 2nd copy of your Livescan form BY ITSELF to the address on top of the form?  I wasn't sure whether that's how it worked and whether my mail got to the correct office/individual at CA BPELS. 

Sadly, this is the norm for CA :-(   I hope they don't hold up releasing the PE Exam results and based on some messages up above, I am hopeful that we will get our result sometimes this week. 

I've already got fingerprint done after getting the email from BPELS on 11/16 telling me to get the fingerprint.  I filed my PE exam app for Oct 2015 exam as soon as it allowed me to file (I think it was April or May), which was before the fingerprint requirement of July 01, 2015.  Therefore, I...

It's almost 9am now and no email from NCEES yet.  Today is the day when my employer decides to block NCEES.  I guess too many people have been logging into NCCES the last couple of days resulting in this NCEES https:// blockage.  If it is following the same protocol, I'm sure it will block E.B. ...

Thanks again, zhwfuture. 

@ForAiur, thanks for the information.  I assume the application ID you mentioned is the NCEES ID.  I don't remember getting any ID from the CA Board. 

The whole fingerprinting process is somewhat a mess.  I didn't have to get the fingerprint at the time I submitted the application to sit in the PE Exam so I didn't attach the form with it.  The CA board notified me after I took the PE Exam that I needed the fingerprint so OK, I did that, but...

Thanks for responding.  I just sat in for the EE PE.  Some people around my office said that CA usually releases results later compared to many other states, but I'm hoping for today. 

Do they release state-specific along with the other PE's?
