    Repeat Takers Strategies - Civil PE CBT

    Not particularly bad to clear memory, it just wipes out any custom settings you might have, such as fixed decimal, radians, and any numbers you have stored in variables. It's not programmable.

    Repeat Takers Strategies - Civil PE CBT

    There are multiple valid answers. Before you solve for x, you need to put the the value of your closest guess into x. The solver finds the answer closest to the value you put in x. When you cleared the memory, it put zero into x.

    50 Minute Break

    Civil traffic is 35-45. Try to finish the morning in less than 3 hours and eat an early lunch. You need the time for the afternoon session. Some finish in 2 hours but that was too soon for me.

    Failed the PE 3rd time TX- testing out of state?

    You need to know your pdf references like the back of your hand. Make sure you have all the pdf references in the NCEES test specification. Get comfortable finding and using pdf references with a computer- don't print them.

    Failed the PE 3rd time TX- testing out of state?

    Your results look a lot like mine. If you need a different state, I highly recommend Maine with an NCEES record. You can take the exam early or not, anywhere in the US. No limit on the number of total attempts, just 3 times per year and 1 time per calendar quarter. I would caution you, just like...

    Just took the CBT Civil Construction PE exam in TX

    Maine just decoupled, so he can test for Maine with ncees record. No experience or education. Then when he gets experience, he can apply for license in tx with test credit from Maine.

    That's weird because Texas has decoupled the exam so you can take exam with no references. I know because I did it.

    States that require experience to sit for the NCEES PE Exams

    The NCEES does indeed determine whether you are eligible, for Maine. They do this with the NCEES Record. See the website. It's much more streamlined than the Pennsylvania process. Professional Engineer Licensing | ProfessionalEngineers (maine.gov) Initial Licensure (NCEES Record Holder)...

    PE Civil CBT 2022

    10 throw away questions is a lot. The spec says some questions don't have the required references to solve them and don't count for that reason. But wait- they do count! They take valuable time from solving other questions that count. If you sit there for 8 hours trying to solve impossible...

    States that require experience to sit for the NCEES PE Exams

    If you apply for initial licensure in Pennsylvania through NCEES, your registration on NCEES will say "Pending board approval" FOREVER until Pennsylvania changes the law. The NCEES gladly takes your money to sit for the PA exam even though it won't happen. The NCEES record is preferred over...

    States that require experience to sit for the NCEES PE Exams

    Steelnole15, the NCEES doesn't always steer you in the right direction. They accepted my payment to sit for the PE exam even though they know Pennsylvania does not accept the NCEES record for initial licensure. After doing the NCEES record, my references wouldn't do the paper PA board forms a...

    States that require experience to sit for the NCEES PE Exams

    I know for sure Texas is decoupled, I took the PE exam there without submitting references or experience. Texas requires a Texas EIT certificate though. The NCEES does indeed approve or deny you to sit for the Principles & Practice exam for Maine. Maine does require 4 years experience, ABET/EAC...
