In MO they let us keep suitcases and whatnot next to our chairs. I put my books in vertically so that I could easily pull whatever reference I needed quickly. Of course at the end of the test, almost every book was laying on the table and scattered about....

I can't speak for WR, but the 6MS Transportation afternoon questions were more difficult than the exam. I'd say that if it takes an average of 4 calculations to get your answer on 6MS, then the test was more like 2 calculations. If you're looking for a realistic example of the test, do the...

Leftover beer brat, chips, an orange, and a fun size candy bar, which ironically, wasn't all that fun.....

Miloc, Those books should be all you need to prepare. I bought the Lindburg sample questions and barely touched it as the 6MS was a good test of knowledge. Personally, I found that doing all 100 problems in 6MS for Transpo prepared me quite well for the test. I started by doing all 100, then...

Capt Worley PE never fails to provide some much needed humor!

Ditto, several times I thought to myself, I've seen this problem before. Bar none though, the sample exam is a great resource, especially if you do it as your last preparation of studying. It's a super confidence booster if you know your stuff!

Yep, sounds about fitting for IL's usual BS.

Looks great!

You can get around this by using google's cacheing feature. Basically, type anything into google along with the word "wiki". If you hover over the wikipedia results, a double arrow shows up to the right of the search results. Click on the double arrow and a graphic shows up. At the top there...

You will not need the HCM for the morning portion of the exam. The rule of thumb is that if it's in the CERM, it's fair game for the AM portion. If it's not, don't count on it. Regarding vertical and/or horizontal clearances, this would be things like line of sight or a calculation of...

Missouri has a regulation for people who have been registered for less than a year to take 1.25 hours x however many full months they are registered prior to their expiration. My current license will expire on 12/31/12, thus I will need 13.75 hours for mine. You might see if the state statutes...

I would make sure you have all of the PM references that NCEES has listed for the test. You won't need anything else except the CERM. I would not be caught dead without the CERM, even if you have a bunch of other stuff. I still have nightmares about getting to the test and not having my CERM...

You may not like to hear what I have to say here, but the truth isn't pretty, either way you look at it. Like Knight said, alot depends on where you're located, however I know for a fact that the civil sector is relatively stagnant almost everywhere at the time (except perhaps North Dakota and...

Dang, the site is down. Would really like to see if I can add the "P.E." to my email signature this morning!

I've been contemplating designs for a shadow box of the right proportions to show off my license and pencils (both Red PE and Green EIT). Just waiting on the great state of MO to send me the license for final dimensions....

I've heard that NCEES can be very accommodating to people that have special needs during the test. Being that far along in a pregnancy, I think they would be willing to work with you. I believe they ask you if you have needs when you register for the test on the website. Good Luck!

1) Figure out how to tell my insomnia that the test is over and it's OK to sleep. 2) Do some fishing. 3) Return the favor and nag my wife to study for her PE exam.

Everyone is going to be different on this. I eased into studying by tabbing the CERM and getting familiar with how and where to find info QUICKLY. Really, getting to know the CERM was the hardest part (most intimidating) for me. I started doing problems every night about 3 months before the...

After double checking all morning questions, I left 45 minutes early. Double checked all afternoon questions (Civil Transpo) and left 17 minutes early. At our exam site, if you finished inside of the 15 minute warning, you had to stay until the end, which was after they verified that they had...

Per NCEES in the test notification online: "Upon verification by the Board that all requirements for licensure are complete, you will be licensed as a Professional Engineer. Official notice of your licensure and your Professional Engineer license will be mailed to you in approximately four to...
