Minnesota Society of Professional Engineers did the same thing. I still brought my lunch and went back to the vehicle during lunch to just chill and listen to music by myself. All the food stands were open in the convention center for the volleyball tournement!! (so it was no problem finding food)

I totally forgot to mention that there was a high school volleyball tournament going on in the Minneapolis Convention Center on PE Exam day, it was crazy on the main level in there. When I saw that the line to get into the parking ramp was 2 blocks long I knew something was going on!! Kevo, I...

One of my freinds is a lawyer and when he took the bar (3 years ago this coming July) he said there was someone who just broke down and started balling, loudly enough for others to be distracted, and had to be escorted out of the room. The bar exam is 2 back to back days of exams. He said that...

I was suprised how many hands went up after they read the list of approved calculators and asked if anyone had a non-approved calculator. I just don't understand it because the list is on ncees, elses, and came in HUGE letters on a bright piece of paper with our admission information/letter. I...

Just thought I would see if anyone had stories from exam day. I took the exam in Minneapolis, Minnesota (ELSES State) and would have to say that I am amazed at the disorganization/mass confusion at our site. The guy next to me was trying to take the Civil exam, they gave him a Chemical exam...

I keep telling everyone when they asked how the test went that I am 'Positively Optimistic', and I hope I was a good guesser and passed

I felt pretty good about the morning portion, not nearly as good about the afternoon.... the letter will tell the true result. If I failed I know it was due to the structural section which was 26% of the test I took. I knew when I applied to take the exam that structual was my weak section...

I left that pencil right there on the table and hope I never have to use an NCEES pencil ever again!

I am with you Ray & ktulu, I feel I am ready to go in and kick this test square in the nuts, twice (morning and afternoon). Right before the FE I was in a state of panic, did not want to repeat that this time around. I put in a much larger effort of prepartion for this exam. Thanks for...

That is my plan, as long as work doesn't schedule a meeting on Thrusday that I told them not to.... told my boss if I am physically forced to be at the meeting I still may not be there mentally (its an interview to try to land a big project, not just a small meeting. Pretty important project to...

You can still drive into Canada and back until the end of 2007. Flying in you need a passport as of Jan, 1st 2007.

I took General PM too, completely agree with you singlespeed. After the AM I thought "I really did learn a lot in college", after the PM general I was like "geez I hope I passed, that was really tough". I agree that knowning the math/calculus was HUGE... When I took it 5 years ago I know many...

It is right on the ELSES site at http://www.els-examreg.org/registration_info.php#reference and does state "you may also bring a 6-inch, clear plastic straightedge if you wish." I agree that a protractor could help too, I am going to get one for the test... if they take it away on me its only...

Somewhere I read that a 'Clear 6" Plastic Ruler' is allowed, not sure where I found that but I do have it printed at the office, I will find it on Monday for you. I do plan to bring a ruler (closest that the office store had to clear is a see thru purple). I am in an ELSES state, not sure if...

I took mine sample exam 1.5 weeks ago and am going through the same thing, I am calmed down now and have the same conclusion. (Hopefully it was better to have more calm-down time). Have some weak areas to study in the next 1.5 weeks and then hopefully walk in and nail the real thing!! VTE it...

I got 48/80=60% on my practice exam, wish I had done better but it should be a good learning experience. I already knew my weak area was structural but also helped understand how they word questions, what information is given with the problem, etc. From what I am hearing how I did is probably...

I stayed home from work yesterday and did a full 8 hour practice exam... Really wanted to go outside and enjoy the rare 81 degree March day in Minnesota but I resisted.

I got mine yesterday too Kevo, but then we are both in Minnesota.... will see you there April 20th.

I agree with you Metro & VT. They always ask me why/what/etc. I am planning to do with my time off, sometimes I tell them, sometimes I don't. It is none of their business... and I like to keep my work life separate from my personal life anyway. I don't even know how much vacation I get...
