The problem is that NYMechEng had already posted the correct information in this very thread. It's frustrating to see misinformation when the text of the press release was already posted. And thanks, but I waited for my FE results in the mail and I know how to be patient. That has nothing to...

They said both the FE and PE were on the 8-10 week timeframe in the surveying press release and then released the FE results less than a week later, so while I'm not holding my breath about getting results this week, I certainly wouldn't be surprised either.

I submitted my application a week before the deadline in October for the April 2012 exam (in NYS). I received my acceptance on December 6th, so it took about 7 weeks. I had a friend that overnighted it to arrive on the due date and she got her acceptance around New Years. Another friend...

Haha, so true. I was a little surprised to see an NCEES email because there was just no possible way it was the results yet. But I nailed that survey, all right! The question about making the FE and FS computer-based is interesting. Anyone know when that will be ready? My SO is...

I feel the same way about the random questions. It's highly unlikely you would have references that would cover every single question, and I think it must have been 50% qualitative. I knew several of the "random" qualitative questions because I work in consulting and they had some up in my...

I will post to the sticky thread...I think I'll wait until I find out whether I passed, though. Something like 45 days to go. :)

I left the morning feeling pretty good. I couldn't answer everything but I felt solid on probably 38 problems with reasonable guesses on most of the rest. I rehashed it with some friends over lunch and we all felt okay. The water seemed straightforward and the solid and hazardous waste did as...

NY, Environmental

Okay, disregard my "don't send anything at all." Looks like you send in a copy after you register, but you still can't register until a couple months before the exam.

Anyone know what the story is about water? NY's seat assignment sheet also says no outside food or drinks, but the NCEES candidate agreement says hard candies are okay and I would think water in an original bottle would be okay. I don't think I can do a 4-hour stretch without water! My plan...

You can only register for the exam on the NCEES website after your state admits you - you shouldn't need to send any NCEES registration info to the state at all. My registration opened in December for the April exam, so I would expect you to be able to register in June or thereabouts. I'm in...

I also live in upstate NY. I'm taking my PE in April and I currently make 55k at a private consulting firm working as an environmental engineer, but we have structural engineers at the same salary and level as well. Benefits are pretty similar, 3 weeks vacation, a couple of sick days, about...

I'm taking the exam in April, so no diagnostic to post. Any idea what the typical passing score is? I'm guessing it's got to be right around 70/100, but I see the October 2011 pass rate was only 61% for first-time takers so maybe it was lower this round.

Even though this thread has been slow, I thought that I would add my experience with the CPESC exam. It is not remotely comparable to the FE/PE. I attended the review class and, having worked for several years on various stormwater projects, felt very comfortable with the material presented...

People generally seem to think the level of the questions was similar to the NCEES sample questions. Do you guys agree for this round? Assuming NY lets me, I'm taking the April '12 exam. Thanks!

Hey! First off, thanks to everyone who posts their impressions of the exam, how they studied, and what references they bring. It's very much appreciated. I just submitted my application to NY for the April 2012 exam. Fingers crossed it's accepted, because I know a lot of coworkers who were...
