    Bad advice to previous poster

    Hire one to come to your house then Lock them in the basement so you can get messages on Demand. I recently took out a second mortgage because I have a feeling I will hit big on red at the casino, should I do it?

    Feel good about how you did on the exam?

    I felt the morning was rather simple and the afternoon (Transportation) lined up really well with my field. I do not honestly see how I would have failed, but even if I do there is always next time!

    AM portion was apparently too easy...

    I thought the morning was pretty easy as well... hope they didn't bump the cut score because of it. But even if they did I felt the afternoon for the transportation PE was pretty simple as well!

    Salary raise after passing PE exam

    My boss quit a year ago, I interviewed for his job and signed a contract for his job and have been doing it (with a PE overseeing what I have done once a week) for the past year :P so it is not all just a raise, its a new title!

    Exam results released past 5/22?

    The October 2014 test took 47 days until the results were released to Iowa Test takers, that means I bet I will get the result between now and 47 days that is June 1st.

    Salary raise after passing PE exam

    It also depends a lot on your definition of rich... I will have over 2 million in retirement if I keep this up when i retire at 62 (though I will have the option at 55). I have a wife and 2 kids (hopefully a 3rd some time soon). I care a lot about discussing wages to be sure I am on a fair level...

    Any terrible exam day experiences?

    For the October 2014 exam I lost 5 reference binders from my blunder (I only had 8 references total with those so their loss was keenly felt). So i used JB weld and better binders for the exam this April.

    Any terrible exam day experiences?

    I failed in October because when i opened my binders for HCM, roadside design guide, and geometric design binders came open so all the pages were considered "loose" and not only that, they were all mixed up. i learned this time for April to check them very well before the exam started. good...

    When/how to ask for a raise after getting the good news of passing the PE exam

    I am a Civil Engineer, and I work for a County so my job is roads, bridges, and politics of dealing with the public. I have been doing this for 5 years going on 6.

    Exam results released past 5/22?

    they actually purposely add 30% of the pencils that are defective just to be sure enough fail, that is much easier than trying to make a test of the right difficulty to weed out people.
