If anyone has come up with an affordable setup that allows for both the certificate and the pencil to be placed in the frame, please let me know. So far I have been looking into graduations frames that have room for a tassel, but I'd really like to have the pencil oriented horizontally in the...

I believe a similar discussion happened in this thread: http://engineerboard...showtopic=17465 While it's best to err on the side of caution when discussing exam content, I think this has the potential to turn into a witch hunt and could bring about unintended consequences.

It may be possible to pass the power exam using the PPI materials as your only source, but it would probably be very difficult. There are other references you simply must have IMO. I also used and recommend the Camara EPRM (PPI) and got some answers from it, but I would strongly recommend...

I'd like to do this as well. Let us know if you find/design something that looks good.

I like how P.E. looks better. I went through my collection of business cards and it seems most people use that. My mentor has had PE on his business card for many years.

If it makes you feel any better, I won't be getting a raise or bonus (that I am aware of).

They do. I am preparing a screenshot. Please don't look at my score if you didn't pass.

Passed in TX. Here they give us our score, too. :)

I'm not sure if others have said this already, but I was talking with a woman took and passed the April 2011 exam and she told me that she was able to log into the TBPE website and see her results a few days before it was officially "known" that results were out. So everyone from Texas and...

Like a marathon (26.2 mi) instead of a half marathon. If you are going to go to all the trouble, why not just go all the way. But a 5k is better than both because you can get it done without spending half your day on it.

You people are driving my crazy. I was doing pretty well with the wait. But now I am getting very anxious. BTW one thing that helped me pass the time earlier on was watching Jack Vale's "pooter" videos on youtube. Don't tell me it's childish and immature until you have at least watched...

I ended up taping up all the openings just in case, but at my particular test it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway. I saw lots of people all around who didn't tape theirs and they had no problem.

My first reaction was going to be "AMEN to that!" However, I have to admit there are some good things about CA. The problem is the bad outweigh the good for many people. My inlaws live in CA and I used to bug them about moving to a "free state." Then they showed me how many clients they have...

Mid-January? I hope it doesn't take that long! I was thinking a couple of days before Christmas...

^ No offense taken. I went into the exam with a clear understanding of the dangers of getting caught up in too many references, having been warned of that from others on this website. But I can truthfully say that I did find the answers to no less than 5 problems directly from some of the more...

I'm not trying to pass myself off as an authority on how to pass this exam, but I did take it recently, I believe I passed and that these references are important to have: - NEC Code or handbook - Completed and indexed/tabbed NCEES sample exam - Grainger/Stevenson Power System Analysis -...

I also did the GA Tech class. I can't say whether or not it is better than others, since I haven't taken them, but I was very happy with it. The thing I liked most about it is that the course material is fine tuned every exam cycle, unlike some review manuals/courses that still seem to be...

OK, I have some stories from the exam that some might find interesting or funny: During the exam I lost my answer sheet inside one of my reference binders for about 30 seconds. I was relieved when I found it not only because otherwise I would have failed the test, but because a proctor could...
