There are always gov jobs available if you would like to go to public sector. For private, probably most of those would post after fiscal year approvals from respective engineering firms.

Congrats! Coincidentally this is also my 10th year since going back to Community College after dropping out of school. For me, PMP is next. Maybe MBA if company pays for it. But my main focus is now on family more than career. One thing to include in your plan for sure is to ensure you come...

Wow. I actually did a similar thing two days ago in Minneapolis. EB meetups are officially a thing!

I have a Civil Engineering degree and have never heard of AACE certifications until now. I honestly haven't seen any job listings for Engineers require or prefer AACE certifications. It sounded like you aren't actually designing anything, that could be the reason why you are struggling with PE...

not sure what exam you took but talk of the town was that the PM was way trickier than AM. the same EET adverts could be applied for previous exams but definitely not in April 2019. Good try.

it's pretty general topics on safety for the first exam. it's mostly conceptual questions on the exam. i would say the concepts can be applied to all kinds of roads, not just highways. most people go for PTOE but it's not just about ops, safety should be the first priority for any design.

Anyone looking at this is welcome to join me, @8-10 Weeks Later, and @WiMN195 at Fulton Brewery today at 4pm for happy hour. Look for the CERM book and NCEES Orange Pencil when you walk in.

It's "Engineering Judgment". 😎

I literally had a minute left and 8-10 questions left to fill. Based on my answers from the other 30ish problems that I am confident with, "A" showed up only 2 times. Going for "A" is a no-brainer.

I think Allison is the only staff for licensing. I suggest we could go volunteer to help her.

I would love to find out how many of those "A"s was actually correct, but I couldn't. I did the same thing for my FE exam on paper (last one in 2013) as well, "B" for AM and "C" for PM, also passed.

Just by looking at your AM scores, 24 isn't good enough at all. You should target at least 30-32 for AM. I found the topics on Project Planning, Means and Methods, and Site Development very general for all Civil disciplines. Anyone that has engineering work experience should be able to answer...

I took PPI for Civil Transpo and passed. No data points from EET but it never hurts to do practice problems. Practice more and often.

No one really knows. I suggest you could join the NCEES Board of Directors and then tell us.

Yes John. It was the easiest man. I circled 10 "A"s in the last minute of my PE depth session and still passed. Rumor has it.

Nah... 52 at most.

Yes. Allison is out of office this week, probably she needs a break from our daily calls in the last few weeks.

I took Civil Transpo and passed but I think my strategy would help as well. I also took the first 5-10 minutes reading through all questions and focused on the topics I knew. Before the exam, I came up with my own order that I would do all questions on my strongest topic first, then guestimate...

Sorry to hear you didn't pass again. What was your AM/PM split? If you don't mind, please post your diagnostic report so we can help you improve your weaknesses. You improved from 42 to 50 but was it mainly on AM or PM, or 4 each? Without knowing the split, it's hard to find out your weakness...

Letter has finally arrived today. It was dated 5/14/2019 as told by @8-10 Weeks Later. It's a $120 check between me and my PE license now. I called the office to ask for the timeline. The lady who is in charge of licensing is out of office this week. So it would be at least after Memorial Day...
