I don’t know about anywhere else, but at the very least, the state of CA disagrees with you.  In CA only mechanical, civil, and electrical PEs actually have any authority to perform services that any other person couldn’t perform.  On the other hand, all branches of engineering with PE...

That’s the only way I get to be a PE.  CA is similar, I don’t have an engineering degree, just one in applied math and a lot of experience in solar.

I really liked PPI’s practice questions.  I hated their teaching materials/books/everything else.  If I could go back and only buy access to their quiz generator and skip on everything else I would.  Doing a stupid number (~1000) of practice questions helped me more than any of the...

In CA, a seal can be electronic (specified in law and in the board rules), you can make one in AutoCAD and print it on the form and over the envelope if you have to.

Is there any available data for processing times after an application is considered complete?  My employer wants to start advertising/performing electrical engineering services and can't until I'm licensed.  Kinda feels like yet one final "welcome to the suck"

I talked to the board, per their instructions I submitted a photocopy of my EIT live scan with a note on it "For reference, submitted with EIT application"

The Power exam is a soul crushing monster.  The NCEES gods blessed me with a pass and I'm almost more excited not to have to take the test again than I am to get licensed.  Best of luck to you guys signing up for next October/next April.

Passed as a first time taker, I don't have an engineering degree (I do have a BA in applied mathematics with an emphasis on PDE, so phasor math and complex arithmetic was all pretty easy and I've worked in the solar industry for a long time).  CA is awesome for letting us get there substituting...

I've been offline since I got my pass notification (mostly celebrating).  Has anyone made an attempt at figuring out the cut score?  I'm particularly interested in EE, Power.

CA Power, passed on first try.

CA seems to be back in a drought...

CA board is open now, fingers crossed for results soon.

So did you inquire with the CA board?

No.  NCEES gives you a raw score if you fail, TX gives you a curved score if you pass or fail.  If you have enough fail data points and make some assumptions about the shape of the curve, you can extrapolate upwards and try to guess your score.  I don’t recommend this exercise, but if you do it...

Texas releases a magic curved score where 70 is the cut score and you get assigned a number below 70 if you fail and above if you pass.  The curve is not linear and trying to extrapolate to the cut score is about as futile as just trying to find the maximum failing score by asking people who failed.

He says in the TX results forum.

Congrats!

How will we know if we are eating ice cream in celebration or comfort-eating if we don’t know how we did first?

Biting my nails here in CA.  Hoping the results post soon.

I think there are quite a few of us.
