See if you can give the FE exam asap. If you cannot take it in CA, look at taking it in other states. Some states may allow you to take the FE exam even though you don't have an US degree. Truthfully, it is difficult for companies here to judge your experience based on just overseas education...

The exams are very code specific. I am not sure that the codes changed that much, but I still believe you are better off studying from the books that are based on the latest codes that are specified in the testing plans. Good luck.

I guess good help is not cheap and cheap help is not good...

Great idea... give Texas a try. Good luck.

I hope the storms are over for now... it is bright and sunny down here in SoCal.

This is just a general question for readers of this thread... if a person has worked as an EIT under a PE but then they had a fallout... can the PE really sign and seal a recommendation stating that the EIT's work was not satisfactory? This assumes that the EIT's work was satisfactory, but then...

I got that one from a coworker who had passed the PE a while back. The problems are not really close to the real exam in difficulty. All questions in the exam are not difficult, so in my opinion the easy questions in the exams are similar to the problems in that book. I believe Reza's workbook...

Thank you. Yes, my name showed up late Friday afternoon.

I applied using comity and then had to take the two special tests in October 2016, that I managed to pass. I had submitted my fingerprints with my application but for some reason it did not get in the system. When I got my results, it showed that the Board was missing my fingerprints. I called...

HA HA... I am not a circus performer... I can't put my head inside a lioness' open mouth :D

You sound like... trying to play safe. Just a couple of pointers... if money is not a big issue, then enroll for the EET seismic course. Most of the stuff will be known to you because of your background, but the CBTs will provide some great practice. For surveying, I recommend the CSPER course...

Southern California is about to get pounded by a series of three storms... caused by so called "Atmospheric Rivers"... This year the "Pineapple Express" has been very active and hopefully it reduces the state wide drought... 

Join the club... actually in my case it was worse, my wife woke up with a bad mood because she couldn't sleep properly because of my coughing... and now it is double punch... well, can a wife in bad mood be considered a medical condition? :D :P  

As Ptatohed stated, check the Board's syllabus... some items have changed. The Board's Exec. Director had specifically stated that there will be no questions outside of the specified syllabus/test plan.  Good luck.

Did I read that last line correctly? Perhaps I am reading too much into this but it sure sounds a bit wacky!

I believe the course definitely consists of 3 books. However, it is stretching a bit if you call the Codemaster stuff books... booklets maybe but not books. I beliee one of them consists of two pages and the longest one 6 or 8 pages. I have a couple of them and so I know. I just wanted fellow...

I also think they don't have CBTs like EET to practice. A practice test book is offered instead. EET offers total of 5 practice tests and a number of mini tests also. The CBTs are of immense help to the test takers as it not only familiarizes the test taker with the system, but also teaches how...

Best of luck. Don't be so hard on yourself... ptatohed is here for that :)

I am sorry to hear about your predicament but from what I understand that NCEES does not allow reviews to protect the integrity of the tests. I don't know the mechanics but I am assuming that they are telling us the truth. Now, instead of fighting the system, when don't we come up with a way to...

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to the various questions. I wish other State Boards follow your example.
