    REMEMBER YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

    I had over 20 references too. I feel that the right references covering all topics is a key for the Computer test at least. For the problem-solving type questions, I think you just needed to know how to do it and could not have picked that up from the references under a time crunch. But the...

    Mattress opinions

    The ones from Simmons Beautyrest were available as half/half plush/firm. DH and I did have different opinions on what we liked so its best to both go and try them all out.

    Submit exam feedback to NCEES - time is almost up

    I wondered how this was done...I've already forgotten specifics though and generally have assumed that any confusion was on my end.

    Mattress opinions

    We just got a new one - it has a memory foam top! ahhhhhh.... The salesman was big on telling us the 20-yr warranty was really great and that "you'll never need another mattress". We did not really want to hear that (jeez we're not looking to die on the thing) :unsure: Best thing is to go...

    So how was it?

    How did the FE go? No one has posted here - are they still locked out?

    REMEMBER YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

    I had an answer for all the questions, but there were 3 or 4 I changed back and forth so they were probably a bust. Maybe 6-8 were educated guesses, so worst case I was pulled off by the wrong answer that made sense to me - lets say 50% on those. I know from the practice questions that about...

    I'm really bummed.... (yes another pencil thread - sorry)

    ewww...this might not be sanitary. I would at least expect a pristine pencil at the FE since they forbid you bring your own.

    I'm really bummed.... (yes another pencil thread - sorry)

    Good point... But now I have three colors because I found the green one and that's a collection, so... I may have to go dig thru some junk drawers around here

    I'm really bummed.... (yes another pencil thread - sorry)

    I found a forest green NCEES pencil in my desk with no date. Maybe I could sell it on eBay to someone who needed it for their trophy case!

    How many people left your exam early?

    I took 3:45 each session on the test and spent remaing 15 checking my work. I know several left early because they weren't there anymore when I came up for air. I don't see anything wrong with leaving early if you know you've done all you can, and you might get to that point well before the end...

    How many people left your exam early?

    I used 3:45 both sessions for the test and remaining 15 to check answers. I was also "in the zone" and didn't pay attention as people left. It looked like many did leave early in the afternoon though. Our rule (and I assume it was the same everywhere) was that you could not leave after the 15...

    REMEMBER YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

    Lunch... a turkey sandwich, apple, cheese stick, and water in my car while I listened to the radio and played games on my phone.

    Should I major in civl or environmental engineering?

    I also work for an environmental consultant. The engineers here are originally from a number of different disciplines: Civil, Biological, Mechanical, Chemical and EE. Funny...no actual Enviro Eng majors.

    How many at your test?

    Our seven sections were actually all together in a big expo hall, so not individual rooms. They were like columnsof either one long table for two people or two medium tables put end to end for two people. Each section had its own proctor to hand things out and only one person from each section...

    So how do you feel?

    I thought it went about as expected, which is not to say I know how it turned out. I felt like my prep and references were right (thanks to this board), my pace was right, now I just hope my answers were right! I took the EE-Computer which is 80 questions total balanced half and half. There...

    How many at your test?

    In the Missouri PE there were seven sections of 24 each (ish) so 160+ I think, with about 5-10 taking the Survey test. I only know because for some reason they were temporarily separated out. Most were men ages 27-35, with about 8-10% women there and only a few folks with gray or white hair...

    What color was the pencil?

    red...but I think I already lost the thing...

    Just a few days to the PE test!

    I think I've got a cold. Is Kleenex considered "loose paper"??
