Start doing kegels so you can hold everything in. I tried to eat relatively light the day before (Jimmy Johns #9 with dijon), and then grabbed a sandwich from a local shop at lunch. Had a travel mug of coffee during the AM, and then just a bottle of water in the afternoon. I've never needed to...

I'll add in. I'm not expecting a big raise after I pass the SE exam. I already had my PE when I joined my company 4.5 years ago, but they asked me to get my CA PE also a couple of years ago and then asked for the SE last year. I got a small bump at my next review after the CA PE last year, but...

@Nathan55 That was epic. It probably could have used a Deadpool quote, but I'm guessing that the mods would frown on most of those. 4 weeks to go. 150 hours in, 100 more to go. I'm planning on taking week after next off of work so I can focus on studying. This is my last test and then I'm...

Hey everyone I just thought I'd create a post and see how everyone is doing with the studying for the October exams. I've passed vertical and am retaking lateral (second time overall). I had planned on skipping October and taking it in April, but my work wanted me to do it now. Since they didn't...

I had a collapsible rolling crate and stacked two milkcrates on top of it. One guy in my exam had a bookshelf with doors strapped to a dolly. I also saw another engineer who brought two dollies each with three big tubs about the size of what Lonestar posted above. I thought both of those were a...

Illinois will accept your exam results, but you will still have to get your application accepted eventually. If you have 4 years by the time you apply you'll be fine as long as everything else on your application is also acceptable. I wasn't sure if I would get accepted in IL because of some...
