First and foremost, never schedule your test for the 3rd month of the quarter. They only release results after each month is completed (typically 7-11 days after but sometimes as late as 18). You can only re-apply after you fail and you must reapply before the beginning of the next quarter. So...

I just passed my last exam yesterday (June 7, 21). Any guess when those who are newly complete will get their numbers?

How did you study? I found the Reza course really good but I also paid for CPESR course. I never took surveying in college so needed alot of the background but passed after 2nd attepmt. For $300 for an additional courses and now paying $225 to take the exam, i figured i rather pay for an extra...

Agreed. Almost Every step is a pain and ambiguous. Such as the fact the first time you apply, it is called the “re-exam” form and the fact you cannot pay on-line, mail in check, watch for it to clear, and if you take the exam in the 3rd month in a quarter, you will miss the next quarter. The...

I found surveying way harder. Pay for the Hiner course and do all probs twice and follow everything he says- I passed seismic 1st time because of him. IMO 3 mo prep was not enough but 4 was good. The videos are 32 hours alone.

Passed surveying. All done. And I went to school for mechanical. Was a pain every step of the way for whatever reason.

Same- just took my 2nd time in May ‘21. My surveying test had been cancelled 3 times in the last year due to Covid and invalidated once due to the Prometric tech glitch in Feb ‘21. Also they did not offer it for a 4Q20 due to covid. In a normal time, I could have taken the test 5 times in this...

Sometimes it’s not the firm but the clients… (condescending /abusive to contractors, overly overly picky, distrustful….)

I received the 2Q ATT for the retest due to the technical issue today (3/22)

I recieved a refund for the test yesterday from Prometrics for my 2/22/21 test yesterday. They cancelled my 1/26/21 test, hence the 2/22 test, but charged me $40 to reschedule even though it was their fault. I put in a refund request twice and still have not heard back in 2 months. The $40 is...

Hmmm, i used them too but felt it could have been a little better. I failed again but the Board is letting me take again for free due to a Prometrics computer technical issue. Just wondering if i should pay for another course. Good to know you passed using CPESR.

This is what the board told me. They contacted me initially. I have to re-take due to the glitch. “You will not need to submit a Re-Examination Form or repay the CA exam fees. When you schedule your exam in Quarter 2, you will need to pay the Prometric seat fees at the time of making the...

There was a glitch in the February 22, 2021 Week results as well for surveying. I found out last night.

Good for you! Did you use a test prep course?

I recieved notice 11 PM 3/8/21 that Prometric had a glitch with surveying admin between 2/22 to end of month and that PE Board will contact me to reschedule to re-take the test. “We apologize for the inconvenience”. My test was cancelled 3/26/20, 4/22/20, i failed in july and not offered in Q4...

Unfortunately, I find the computer based tests harder than the paper and pencil since you have to almost copy everything in your test supplied scratch paper wasting time and open to copy errors— At least that is how i found the CBT CA seismic (Hiner)(passed 1st time) and CA surveying (CPESR)...

I was scheduled for the Surveying test which got cancelled. I had to reapply to take the test and  Prometrics charged me additional $65 to register. They refunded me $65 a few weeks ago since I paid twice but only scheduled to take it once.

When I took seismic in Feb and results came on March 12th, this what came in the To Line "BPELSG_Exam_Info, BPELS@DCA". The actual email address was aliased, so you may see that too. What makes me so mad is why I am mad at myself for being surprised- from MY experience, almost every step of the...

A few days is not a big deal but the overall process is delaying applying for potential jobs and in this economy it could be a big deal. Especially, if one fails and have to wait until Jan to take it with results in mid February. I missed taking my last exam needed  for my PE by 4 days in March...

I think the "garbage" questions can only be found out by seeing if a large amount of people overwhelmingly incorrectly answered them- which can only be done by administering an actual test. I don't think they purposely put in "garbage" questions that could be recognized if an administrator...
