Thanks! Appreciate the good wishes :)

I think it was that way..."a few years ago"...but not now. Sounds like you are definitely taking the mechanical! I took the FE in April. I think I could have changed specialty (prob for a fee) by the NCEES deadline, but not after that.

PPI Indices including power can be downloaded here: http://ppi2pass.com/ppi/PPIInfo?pg=indices-indices.html

I thought you had to make the choice when you signed up with NCEES.???

Good Luck!

Well I thought I would feel this way... however, I delayed 30+ years to take the thing and I had to do a lot of studying. I was SO happy when I passed and received the certificate, that I put it in a frame in my HOME office. I see it as a milestone in my quest for the PE - a reminder that I'm...

I have to wonder how the proctors have time to go through all of this stuff... I guess it depends on the state, number of examinees, number of proctors. Co-workers I talked to did not recall having their references examined, but noted that as the proctors walked around "looking". What...

My bad...I think I misunderstood the question (a problem I have had in the practice tests %&$!!@). I would not personally worry about the binder transparent cover sleeve. Same thing with the spine sleeve that may have a title inserted.

I have used the MIT Open Courseware engineering for my review - I think they are wonderful. Also, Stanford Engineering Everywhere has some as well. If you go thru iTunes U, you can find a lot of lectures to download for free, or go online directly to get the other course materials including...

I would be paranoid to bring anything just clipped since the information is pretty specific about what is a good fastener. It is so easy to just poke 3 holes and put things in a binder.

Taking off Thursday to chill. My boss is very supportive and giving me the time. I will figure out lunch and book transport.

Thanks Knight - I have already reviewed all the Computer threads and found the advice VERY helpful. Just wanting to know if anyone else is taking it this time around...surely I am not the only one!

Is anyone out there taking the Computer exam next week? If so any comments on references you like or NCEES sample questions? I feel like hardly anyone takes this particular test!

YYYYN I'm anxious to JUST DO IT!!

I took the test in MO and received a suitable-for-framing certificate with a number!

Also, in determining the overall averages for 1st time passes (78%) and repeat passes (41%), there is an assumption made that all the disciplines are equally weighted. Still, the numbers surprise me...

Travelpro Rollaboard I think... Can you bring metal bookends?

I'm taking the EE Computer exam and feel sort of alone in doing so...don't know which companies/schools might do in-house reviews for power but there must be some. Sounds like a great opportunity for employees if you can get that together.

Putter with busywork. Create your index of indexes, make lists of what you need to take with you, etc. Any last minute references to order? Articles to print? Notes to bind? This will make you feel like you're accomplishing something for the test while your brain takes a rest....at least I...

Fed EE, I assumed you would be taking the power exam as you used to work for a utility, but you didn't actually say that. Is that the one you are taking?
