    NY State application

    The only caution I make however is that you only have five years from the time you originally submitted the N application for the PE exam.  Although the Website does not say anything specific about that, it is in the NYS Administrative Law that you only have five years.  This is also one of...

    I almost solved the NCEES Pencil Color Equation! ..... but not quite

    Let's start a pool - I say the October test will be Green - just a gut feeling.

    NY State application

    In New York no need for a PE (although they ask yes/no and the number if they happen to be one).  The most important thing is having the actual manager who oversaw your work sign it.  If you just get a co-worker with a PE they will question why your supervisor/manager could not be the one that...

    The Last Supper

    As I recall, my wife asked what I would like to have for my last dinner (don't remember breakfast or lunch), which is her Ziti with Ricotta and parmesan cheese mixed-in (sort of a baked Ziti without being baked - my favorite meal), some sliced sweet carrots, apple sauce, and sweet rolls - Yummy.

    D-Day approaching

    I Agree.  Study the day before is not very productive.  I know of two others in April that panicked themselves by doing that. As I recall during that blur of a very long week, I spent the Thursday just getting everything organized into the two plastic crates I used to hold all my material and...

    October 2018 Exam Authorizations

    Actually - I think I do. I still remember calling over a couple of my 'trusted' co-workers to look at my computer screen and verify that I wasn't seeing a mirage.  One of them did a screen refresh on my computer before he would confirm, wondering if maybe the FE green "Passed" note wasn't being...

    October 2018 Exam Authorizations

    You are very welcome.  I found that seeing that was one of the most exhilarating moments in my life. Now I just need something a little more than a 'pat on the back' from my employer :unsure:

    October 2018 Exam Authorizations

    I was trying to be 'nice.' I just checked, and in my case it was 5 weeks and 6 days - which I believe was the same for the vast majority of those who took the April (Friday the) 13th exam. Then it took another 8 weeks and 6 days before New York State registered me and assigned a license number...

    October 2018 Exam Authorizations

    The best of luck to all those taking the exam next week. Remember to be 100% focused - it's "Mind over Matter." Get a good night's rest, arrive at least two hours before the test and find a quiet place to meditate.  Visualize getting that Email about 5 weeks later, logging into your NCEES...

    Taking backpack into exam

    I'm not sure what State you are in, however based on seeing so many people bring large suitcases into the exam I took in New York, I cannot imagine there would be a problem.  As I recall, there was also a woman two people behind me in line to get it that had just a backpack.

    15 FE Exam Waiver

    I tried doing that in New York, since they have the same clause in the law, however it turned out to be a waste of time - costing me about a year in earning my license.  I eventually just focused on the FE exam topics using the PPI study guide and I passed it in the first attempt.

    FINALLY a P.E.

    Congratulations all -  A good feeling isn't it? :D

    can someone help me out on my application?

    I am also New York, and I completed Part 'B' of form pe4a, as: My initial role was that of as a Computer Engineering Analyst responsible for the Computer Engineering activities as described in Item A above, and detailed within projects 1 and 2 - Item C - below) Advanced to the function of...

    Table set up at exam

    Not sure, but my guess is that after taking the test at Queens College there were many 'other' things on a persons mind to complain about.  For example: No parking provided for the test takers (only the testing 'staff') - and in my case, having to walk nearly a mile from where I could find a...

    Table set up at exam

    The Queens College tables were no more than 3.5 foot square - sort of like the desks in the New York City High School I attended, but without the shelf.  The chairs were hard plastic as well - no cushion.

    How to Help Someone Taking the PE Exam?

    I agree on the sever stress encountered when waiting for the results, then wait again for an actual license to be issued.  As someone mentioned on this board more than once, NCEES and the State boards could make a LOT of money by providing an 'Expedited' application (for a fee of course) to get...

    How to Help Someone Taking the PE Exam?

    You don't need to be an Engineer to be a 'Study Drill Sergeant.' My best friend was studying for the LSAT exam when I was younger and I would call him every day at the planned start of his study time to make sure he wasn't watching a Football pre-season game.  On Saturday's I went over to his...

    Pe exam discipline

    I am in (lower) New York as well, and I recently sat for, and passed, the 'Electrical and Computer: Computer Engineering' PE exam, rather than doing so with others I have expertise in, including the 'Electrical and Computer: Power', the  'Electrical and Computer: Electronics, Controls, and...
