FE right out of college at 21. PE at 27

Civil/Structural in Oct 2011 - Got the Goswami book, no CERM.  Mostly tabbing and re-familiarizing subjects was my study time.  NCEES practice exams were helpful, and passed it.  Only thing I'd do differently was to bring the CERM along, too. I know of a couple of qualitative problems I could...

I took it back in Oct 2011 but my advice is simply not to overthink the problems.  Best example problems were the NCEES sample exam questions.  Never had the CERM, just the Goswami book.  Never been a big studier, just some logical reasoning and know where to find everything in the books.  Just...

Good luck test takers. Can't believe this will be my 2 yr anniversary since taking (and passing) the PE exam. My advice.. breathe, and try not to over-think the problems. There will always be a few tricky ones but don't let them hang you up.. just keep moving on.

We are filled to the max with Yankees down here.

I took and passed first go-around for Civil-Structural in Oct' 11. I'm certainly no brain and my study habits have always been meager to say the least - my advice is to keep common sense and keep the thought process simple. The only books I used during 90-95% of the exam were Goswami and ASCE...

someone has got to make a table to track all of this! I took the FE in Spring '06 and PE in Fall '11.. I believe both were red

I took the PE last October, structural depth, and my first time. I didn't think it was all that bad. It wasn't any worse than the AM section. Honestly, I think some folks over-think and over-study sometimes and end up failing just as badly as those who don't study at all. Structural problems can...

This is the correct answer. If you have both dead and live loads resisting the overturning moment force of the wind load then for the worst case in this scenario you discount live loads because there is a possibility of actually having no live loads. Dead loads will always be in place so it...

For last October's exam, I bought Goswami's book.. never got the CERM. Seemed like I used Goswami's book most of the time. I'm sure there were a couple of questions I could have more likely answered correctly with the CERM as well but feel I managed well enough with just Goswami's book. I feel...

You should sell your "cook" book!

wow, passed PE, North Carolina - Civil

I got some paperwork from NCBELS. It's going to take 3 to 6 more weeks to get the certificate. :juggle:

Indeed. Does anyone know the size of these certificates? I need to get a frame!

I never received an email either. Also, license numbers are up. I've got a palindrome! I guess I'll be waiting for my paperwork in the mail.

I have a friend who took it in SC. They have their results. Not sure what day it was. I think it was the 15th.

still haven't received an email notice even though the results were released yesterday morning.

Passed. Well i guess that answers my question from post #1

It's a blessing! A blessing from the Lord!

Same here. I just deleted my cookies and went back to the front page and that seemed to fix it.
