If that were indeed the case, then why is the pass rate so much lower than others?  https://ncees.org/engineering/pe/pass-rates/

Negative. I didnt know about the colors. I could tell others around me based on the books (ie civil reference manual, vs NEC codebook etc) but with nothing on his table but a single calculator, it remains a mystery.

Jokes aside, when I took my exam in April 2018, the guy directly in front of my brought nothing but a single calculator. No references at all. He finished the first 4 -hr session in 2 hrs and left and after lunch finished the second 4-hr session in 1.5 hrs and left. To this day I wish I knew the...

I used it as well as his practice exam. I found both to be very useful. I took and passed the exam in April 2018 (one and done) and IMHO this was my 2nd best reference. I, personally,  thought Graffeo was a little more helpful, but these are excellent. The biggest thing holding the technical...

X2. I was able to borrow them all from my office library. Worth asking. 

I will say, just as the syllabus says, protection was the heaviest topic on the exam I took in April. I passed, thankfully, but if I had to do it again I wish I would’ve studied protection more, and been more familiar with those references. I know I missed at least 2-3 questions on the exam...

^^^Amen!  :) that was rough! 

Negative. You need to diversify. I took 16.5 full practice exams before I took the PE in April 2018. Passed the first try. I’d seen so many different problems it was VERY helpful.  Exactly. I think if all I focused on was the NCEES practice exam and eng pro guides, I would not have passed...

 Does anyone need any extra practice exams for the final stretch?

I used a small rolling suit case. It seamed about 75% of every one there did the same. 

Yes I do. $50 shipped. I’ll message you. 

I hear you. I have a 2-year old. Studying at home was next to impossible, so I didn’t. What worked for me is 3 nights a week (M, W, F) I stayed at the office after work and did 20 problems a night 5-7pm then went home and got kiddo time. Then every Sat, I went to the library and alternated...

Congrats! Been a long wait. What state were you waiting on?

Today, I am FINALLY a P.E.!!!!  :winko: After 5 months of waiting, Oregon finally approved my application. My 2018 New Years goal was to become a PE. So I started studying 1/1/18 and like many of you, I worked my butt off every night and weekend for 4 months. I took the PE exam 4/13 and passed...

I'll add another post to this dinosaur thread, as I think it's kinda neat to get a feel for actual background of all these random screen names on the interwebs. Power PE here, with a BSEE specializing in Power. I work in high voltage power transmission (115kV - 500kV) for a fed gov agency that...

Would take $50 for Spin-Up if somebody buys it this week.

I’m still waiting in Oregon. But my application should be in the next board meeting on 9/11/18. Hopefully I’ll FINALLY be a PE by the end of next week...

I used erasable pen in my books. No pencil risk, and I could still erase it later. 

Mine was 6 or 8 ft long. One person per table. This was Salem, OR at the State Fair Expo building. ymmv

I would say it is absolutely critical, if you are hoping to use your education for work and a job. Many employers, including my job will not accept your engineering degree if it is not ABET accredited. Her in the Federal gov (D.O.E.) It is a requirement to even apply for a position as an...
