Nope - I'm thinking it will be early next week.

I didn't end up taking any course - I spent some intern years with the surveying group at my work and they were very helpful with sharing their knowledge. I ended up using Mansour's reference manual as well as a few others that I came across (to clear up any confusion) but mainly did hundreds of...

For passing the PE, we don't necessarily get a bonus, but we do get a somewhat significant raise. It's not required by any means, but by not getting your license, you basically have no possibilities of moving up the ladder and will max out your pay at step 3.

Hi all - I'm new here. I see a lot of the posts are from 2016-2017, but since I just got access, I have some catching up to do. I work for my state DOT, and am in the process of getting my PE. I'm curious about the typical raises that other agencies give for having your license. For us, we...

It seems like there has only been a few times where the results come out within the first week of the month. Hoping for that to be true this time around, I can't imagine waiting another week or two!

What are the best portions of IBC 2018 and ASCE 7-16 to have printed out for the Seismic exam? I know I'll need chapter 12 of ASCE (R values, etc.), but I'm curious about what others brought with them that they found helpful. Note: I have the EET seismic workbook, not Hiner.

How did you get access to the codes in PDF? Are they online somewhere?

I know you're trying to help, but your responses are more or less telling me what I already know.  If anyone else can give any indication of whether or not Public Lands are included on the current exam (since it doesn't explicitly say in the test plan), I would be very grateful.

Right, so I looked at test plans for the current exam as well as previous exams. What I'm saying is that none of them specified Public Lands, however I believe it has been included on the exam in the past. I'm looking for someone who has taken the exam recently to confirm or deny that this topic...

Based on a lot of the studying materials that are currently out there, I'm seeing a lot of information about Public Lands Surveys. However, I've heard that they're not included on the test anymore. Is that the case? I've looked at past and present test plans and they don't specifically call out...

I have heard that for some people it takes 5-6 months, some people only 2-3. It's all up to chance, I guess. Good luck!

Hi all! I heard back yesterday that my application was approved. So it took a total of 4 months - June 15th to October 15th - to get approved. Best of luck to anyone who hasn't heard yet!

How odd that it's so quick for some and not for others! I wonder if it may have something to do with last name and how many submit applications to each evaluator... Or possibly you just have lots of experience and were easy to approve. Lucky you! :)

5-6 months? Wow! That's quite a process. Is that the time after you submitted your application initially? Or after it was referred for technical review?

I will post when I hear back about approval, but from what I've heard, you may want to postpone as it can take at least 2+ months to hear back. If you heard back about technical review yesterday, I would say that being approved within the next 2-3 weeks isn't likely. It also kind of sucks...

Yes, I emailed them before I tried calling actually, right after my 60 days had passed. No response.  I actually was able to contact my evaluator's boss (maybe?) yesterday afternoon, who told me basically what I already knew. 

Hi all! Wondering if anyone has recently submitted an application to take the California State exams (Seismic and Surveying) and has heard back from the board that they're approved, not approved, etc.? I submitted my application on June 15th, got an email on July 31st that it's been referred...

Is this a review course? I'm looking for reference manuals, study materials etc. Not courses. 

Thanks! I'm more so looking for reference materials to take into the test - I already have a review course that's offered locally. Are EET/CPESR review courses or are they a PPI type of thing which makes references and study materials (manuals, books, etc.)?
