I would save the money, personally, and get the older version.

For the record, in NYS, your experience does not need to be under the supervision of a PE. Having completed the NYS application, I think the only problem with the OP's plan is that your experience cannot exceed the calendar time, so even if you work more than full-time by factoring in your...

It sounds like you would get at least 2 years of education credit so you'd need 10 years of experience. Other than problems with your application, I don't see why they would deny you. They may be thinking of changing the education requirements, but the current licensure requirements under the...

http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/pels/pelic.htm#credits NYS only requires 12 years of work experience to site for the PE without any college degrees. If you have an associate degree in anything not directly related to engineering, you need 11 years of work experience. If you have a bachelor...

I have April 2012 and it's black. I'm pretty sure my FE pencil was green and that was April 2007, but I don't have one handy to check. Anyone else take that exam?

Oh man...really might have to do it. Thanks!

I didn't take School of PE or ASCE so I'm not much help, but in case no one chimes in who can speak to those, I wanted to say that I watched the NC State DVD course and thought it was generally very helpful. It's not enough practice problems to be your only source but the quality of the...

That looks great! I'm tempted to try it myself, but I only have one pencil so it might look a bit empty. I might have an FE pencil lying around somewhere though...

I'm not sure who "they" is, but NCEES has a thorough ADA accomodation policy. http://ncees.org/exams/special-accommodations/ada-testing-accommodations/ You have until February 19, 2015 to request accomodations for the April 2015 exam. Check out the NCEES Examinees With Disabilities Guide for...

That's what mine was like too. I arrived at 7 and I think we started the morning around 8:10. We broke for lunch more like 12:15 and started the afternoon around 1:30. I think I got out of there around 5:45. I certainly wouldn't bank on having extra time to arrive for each session, but I was...

I passed in April 2012. I can't believe it's been 2.5 years already! One of my college friends took the same exam as me and we completely overanalyzed it afterwards, so I remember it fairly well considering it was a while ago. Janizzle - I should have said congrats. :D And Blue 8...

I hope future test takers continue to post questions. I try to pop in and check at least once a week.

Just wanted to mention that you should check the info you received about your testing site - New York doesn't allow any food, snacks, or water, and it was stated with the information we received. I thought that might be wrong because no water over an 8 hour exam (like 9 hours with all the...

It's still true in NYS too, with 12 years of experience. http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/pels/pelic.htm#credits

I found a copy of the 4th edition (I think) of Salvato at my local library. They let me check it out from December all the way through the April exam as long as no one requested it, and they didn't. I would have paid the late fees if I had to...still cheaper than buying it! I bought the...

I don't have book suggestions except 101 Solved Problems, which is very similar to one of the books you already used. It's by Schneiter. I thought that was pretty similar in types of questions and difficulty to real exam questions. It asks multi-part questions that obviously you don't get on...

If it makes you feel better about that session, the questions I can remember from my exam on those topics were all pretty general, either testing your knowledge of the regulations or questions about specific wastes...no calculations that I can recall. I guess radioactivity and noise were in the...

Check your local library. That's where I got my copy, which was an older, single-volume edition. I checked it out in December and they let me keep renewing it until the April exam because no one else requested it.

I say this with some frequency on these boards, but you really can't compare the environmental exam to others with 80 questions. It's roughly half qualitative questions, which can either help or hurt you. I know people who have worked in only one disciple covered on the exam frequently...

QFT. Just like knowing where to find everything in the FE Reference Manual helped for that exam, developing your own notes so you know exactly where to find everything is crucial.
