    It's definitely percentage because I got a 90. Woop!

    Passed, Pay Raise?

    The bottom line is, the cost of your services (employment) is equal to the amount that the next engineering firm is willing to pay you. There's no formula for "I earned ____ before my PE, I did these tasks, now I have my PE and now my value to the company =___". If you particularly like your...

    VIRGINIA - RESULTS Oct 2010

    I actually got a letter from DPOR today! However, it was regarding NCEES registration. I think it was the letter they sent out after you were approved, telling you to register with NCEES for the test. I called and got someone on the phone. They had no idea how it got to me, or why it was...

    VIRGINIA - RESULTS Oct 2010

    You know, this really is only as bad as you make it. You already know that you passed. Even those that have a bonus/reiumbursement on hold-what, do you have a relative that needs surgery and they can't get it until you get your bonus? I agree, it's terrible that it's taken this long, but I...

    VIRGINIA - RESULTS Oct 2010

    I passed, per NCEES's website, but like everybody else I haven't seen anything on the website or a letter from DPOR. Does anyone know if I should hold off on changing my email signature to PE? I feel like this could be some sort of violation in that I'm not officially licensed by the state yet.

    Kaplan's Civil Engineering PE Sample Exam (2nd Ed.)

    I've been doing a PE review course instructed by local consultants. Kaplan is the study material provided and it is TERRIBLE. I'm not even taking it into the exam. There are many, many (many) unreported errors, and it doesn't track units through the solutions. I would advise anyone to rely...

    Probability on exam

    I've been working through the 6-minute solutions for water and environmental. I found the one with the Gumbell distribution. How likely are we to see these probability types of questions on the depth exam? Gumbell, Weisbull, Muskingum...etc...

    NPSH

    Just off the top of my head, doesn't NPSH just give the head capacity of a pump? Just solve the energy equation at two points (reservoir and suction line). There will be a trade-off between elevation head, pressure head, and velocity head between the two points, plus head losses in the system...
