I took the exam on October 26, 2007 Based on when my coworkers took the exams (and based on meeting minutes from OSBEELS), PE Exams were given on April 11, 2008; October 24, 2008; April 24, 2009; October 23, 2009 I don't have any info prior to October 2007

I don't really remember much from the party on Saturday :drunk1: but I had the mother of all hangovers yesterday. I don't recall ever having a hangover that bad :puke: - I almost made my hubby drive me to the hospital, but luckily by 8pm Sunday, i was finally able to keep water down. I...

I skimmed the test and ranked each problem (easy, medium, hard) and started with the easy ones first. I skipped around, a lot, during both the morning and afternoon sections. I felt it gave me lots of confidence, and both sessions, I had lots of extra time at the end to check my work. I was...

I don't have a copy of LaGrega (I borrowed a friend's copy for the exam and don't have access to it) so I can't comment directly on your question. What I can say is that I don't recall ever having to "come up with" a chemical equation on my own. I thought that they either gave you the equation...

I didn't take the civil exam, but one of my friends did last year. Other people had advised her previously that all she'd need was the CERM for the breadth portion, however she did encounter a problem in the morning where she wished she had brought the Green Book with her. I always think its...

By putting pumps in parallel, you get twice the flow for the same TDH. In your example, @ 68ft TDH, one pump would deliver 200 gpm, two pumps (in parallel) would deliver twice that (2Q) or 400 gpm. They just doubled the flow amounts for each of the TDH points on the pump curve.

Since all of my references are at work, I can't answer the first two questions. I can say for the 2nd question that its highly unlikely they'd ask you to assume a I&I rate on the test. I found that they pretty much gave you all the info you needed (and more) to solve the problem, otherwise...

Congratulations!

I second this, not from personal experience, but from other consultants I know. One engineer I know who worked for a different company was getting really fed up with the bureaucratic red tape of managing projects. He was initially hired by the firm many years ago to do process design work, not...

For you allergy sufferers, here is a nifty little site that lets you find out what allergens are reported in your area. http://www.aaaai.org/nab/index.cfm?p=pollen I hope you feel better VT (and your little one chucktown)!

I've heard that the nursing shortage going on right now (at least in the NW) is because they can't find enough nurses who are willing to make significantly less money going into teaching vs nursing. The competition to get into a nursing program is very tough . . . I like to call him Nue-weasel :)

But it does depend on the state. Some states (thus the instructions given to the proctors) are very specific to not allow any notes in pencil. You should check with your state board (or do a search of this forum to see what people from your state have experienced) to verify. I think I had a...

One other thing to consider is if you're making silly mistakes with unit conversions. When I took the exam, I almost got fooled several times because the equation you need to use gives you the answer in one set of units, but the test asks for different units. Of course, both answers are...

Happy Belated Birthday! :multiplespotting:

Someone told me they saw bacon flavored vodka at a liquor store in Canada. What kind of drinks would you make with that? Discuss.

Happy birthday! :multiplespotting: :happybday:

^maybe its a liability thing - someone gets bitten by one and sues the manufacturer?

Then: I preferred unsweetened cereals so I could add massive amounts of sugar. My favs were rice krispies, shredded wheat (the biscuit type), chex and cheerios. My absolute favorite though was cookie crisp - my mom would never buy it for me except for special occasions. Now: My hubby pretty...

While I agree that not everyone needs to go to college, I don't think you can expect all students to succeed in a "one-size-fits-all" type of high school education. College bound students need a college-prep circulum, and those not bound for college need vocational curiculum. I think, at the...

I'm a bit confused what you mean by "isotherm constant". I thought an adsorption isotherm is a line of adsorption density versus concentration at a constant temperature. Do you mean the adsorption coefficient K_ads? The way I remember it from school, the amount of carbon required to remove a...
