Obviously, for a test to reasonably be given in one day they have to set some sort of time limit. If I actually thought they spent 1 minute of analysis on setting that time limit, I'd be fine. I'm certain they don't. They picked 8 hours for the PE because it's a nice round number. Now, I'll...

A lot of work goes into designing the test questions, but the time to take the test? No, I don't believe it. First, if the times are so carefully crafted, how come I finish in half the time, and other people are working right up to the buzzer? How come the times all seem to work out to exact...

First off, I agree this is sort of nonsense. But, to play devil's advocate. The time limit on these tests is sort of arbitrary anyway. In the real world it doesn't make any difference whether you take 1 hour to finish a problem, or one hour and 15 minutes. Why not just give everybody more...

^^^^ :appl: :thankyou: :thumbs:

Well, at least this thread isn't like some I read- where everyone writes down the hiring policy in their organzation as if it is the model for everywhere else. The answer is that there is no set answer. Some places it doesn't matter, some places it may matter a little, some places it may be...

They don't set the requirements for licensing. Your state board does. NCEES just administers and grades the test.

Oh, okay. I didn't catch the Illinois in the title.

Better check with your state. AS far as I can tell, there is no prohibition against the solution manual (if it exists) or Schauwms in California, unless the law has changed in the past couple years. Well, read and interpret the below for yourself...

In California they are. Probably most other states too, if not all.

No thanks. I don't think I wanna step tp this.

Okay, thanks guys. That helps a lot. THese two things help a lot - I can see there's not necessrily a set answer. It's sort of like whack a mole.

Yeah, actually I know a little about how the relay operates, with very inverse, extremely inverse, etc. So I basically know how they function once they are set, but not where they should be set. So I guess my basic question would be this - If the relay operates as it was supposed to, picking up...

I originally posted this elsewhere, but figured it might get more attention here. Speaking of relays - here is a question for power experts. As you may or may not know, I am about as far from a relay expert as it gets. Is there some rule for where you should set the minimum pickup on a type 51...

Wouldn't it be more accurately an ocean zombie that builds buildings from a pile of dust that then shoot out planes from the windows?

I sort of picture UBL waking up, with some Dr. Dentons or long-johns on and a stocking cap, dark shades and earplugs, wiping the sleep out of his eyes and yelling - "Can you keep it down out there, I've got jihad really early in the morning!"

Well, that's why a person studies for the exam, isn't it? Because you never know whether you are going to get a tough exam or an easy exam - the basic difference being whether you get questions you know or not. You still don't know whether you passed or not. It may just seem like the former...

You're gonna love my nuts.

Yeah, I suspect this will somehow take a prurient turn at some time, but anyway, I'm going to start off in with something mundane. I recently bought a web cam for my computer and was amazed at how cheap and good it was. But the thing that amazed me most was how easy it was to install and...

I think the correct preposition is "in" not "on".

These are probably way before anybody's time - Plop plop, fizz fizz - Alka Seltzer I can't believe I ate the whole thing - Alka Seltzer again. "It's too big to eat" - Rodney Alan Rippy for Jack in the Box. And "Where's the Beef" of course.
