    SE License in any state?

    You can only be a licensed SE in state's that have the designation. This shouldn't be confused on where you can sit for the exam which is virtually every state. I'm not personally familiar with a state that does not offer the examination as an option to take. Link below shows a nice graphic on...

    Vertical and horizontal at the same month

    To finish my thoughts... 1. Have you set-up a preliminary study scheduling the topics you plan to cover in the approximate 3.5 months? Is it realistic given your other responsibilities? 2. Do you have the motivation to study for both exams?

    Vertical and horizontal at the same month

    I plan to take both vertical and lateral in Spring as well. From the numerous threads and tip pages I have read, it really comes down to the individual. There are positives and negatives to both approaches. My questions to you would be the following: 1.

    Getting past those test jitters and having the confidence you will pass

    Skipping questions you can't figure a route in the first 45 seconds is a good strategy and should be used. I used it this past April with success. Didn't need it so much in the morning, but afternoon it definitely got me through. Continue to practice problems and take practice exams. More...
