    PE Exam Prep vs. Grad School

    I would only pursue an MS as a personal goal - my gut tells me that an MS will do little to advance your career that a PE already do. For this reason, an MBA seems to be a much more popular option, as it should open come doors career wise.

    Civil transportation depth PE Exam

    I knew that my weaknesses were structures and geotech.  The problem that I had the first time around is that I took the live version of SoPE, and I struggled to follow the instructors for these categories.  I also realized that I was beat after work, and taking the class on weekday nights was...

    PE APRIL 2018 RESULT DAY

    Oddly enough, the pass rates were nearly identical to April 2017 (April 2018 = 69/42, April 2017 = 68/42). (Edit - Oops, didn't realize that those photos were the same.  April 2018 was 64/38.  That is low indeed.)

    diagnosis results after passing exam

    If you're in Texas, you can go here and at least get a score - I'm not sure what else they'll tell you. https://engineers.texas.gov/exam_check_grades.php

    4th Attempt Going to Board

    More than likely, yes.  It's worth a call, but a board might not allow you to sit just because another state allowed you.  Requirements vary from state to state.

    How do you feel if a person tells you she spent only one night to prepare and pass the exam?

    Some people are simply incredible test takers.  I knew people in college that spent no time studying, woke up 10 minutes before an exam, stumbled into class, and aced exams nearly every time.  I, on the other hand, would study for hours, stress, lose sleep, and barely pass many classes.  I am a...

    Civil transportation depth PE Exam

    I took SoPE, twice.  They offered a free retake of the course should you fail your first attempt at the exam. I found some classes to work really well, but struggled to follow along with others (Geotech / Structures were difficult the first time). I took the live class the first time, but the...

    4th Attempt Going to Board

    Some states require that you take additional classes prior to a 4th attempt, or gain additional work experience - it's really up to your state's board to decide.  I wouldn't go into it making excuses.  Just simply state what has occurred, and be clear about what you intend to do to improve your...

    April 2018 Pass Rates

    It seems low across the board, but then again, it always seems low to me.  The repeat rates always fascinate me, especially considering I passed three different tests on my first repeat attempt.  The odds were never in my favor, yet I personally seemed to do well in that situation.

    For Those Who Didn't Pass

    You're very welcome - When I failed the PE back in Oct 2016, I remember someone writing something similar.  At the time, I was pretty hopeless and the only thing I felt like doing was giving up the exam all together.  It helps knowing that you're definitely not alone in what you're going through.

    For Those Who Didn't Pass

    I just joined this community yesterday, but I know that there are a lot of people out there that are currently getting some really awful news. While I am by no means an expert in test taking, I feel like I am somewhat qualified to offer some advice.  I've taken four different NCEES exams...

    PE APRIL 2018 RESULT DAY

    Congrats!  It doesn't get old :) If you share it on social media, you'll get a "on this day" reminder every year and get to see it all over again 😛

    If you had problems creating an account...

    I was trying to create an account yesterday and kept failing the "What is the square root of 16" security question.   ....I was having second thoughts on if I should be trying to join this forum 😁

    Adding Credentials

    Every state seems different - If I recall correctly, Maine's policy is that official licensure was subject to passing the exam and the board receiving payment for the license. It took me a few days after getting my NCEES pass notice.  The board sent an official letter in the mail stating where...
