I attained my OR license last May. The bienniel period is this June. I count 13 months. If I read OR rules correctly, that means I am required to have 16.25 (17) PDH hours for submission this year. Can any other OR PE confirm?

18 months(ish) ago I nailed the Power PE on the first try.  Now I can add the PMP to my 1st attempt list. I found the test difficult, not because of the complexity of the individual questions but because of the shear number of questions and the relative ‘dryness’ of the material.   What’s...

I have a customer in CA that wants us to come and document his existing electrical system.  He also wants us to stamp the resulting SLD’s.  We have expressed our concerns about stamping other’s designs but he is adamant.  I have some people telling me to just add a caveat statement on our...

I just realized that 1 year has gone by since the April 2019 results came out.  2 things: 1.  I still can't believe I passed on the first try and; 2.  I still have nightmares about the exam haha Sorry to all those who were looking for the same thing for April 2020.  Hopefully the October...

You got this!

For those taking the 10/25 administration, you are on the last legs of your preparation now! If you haven't taken a full length practice test by now, I recommend you do so and focus your efforts on your problem areas.  Don't let nerves slow down your progress.  Don't let missed practice...

An October candidate recently reached out out to me privately on this forum asking this question so I thought I would share it with the masses as well. I took this exam in California (San Mateo) and I am an Ohio Resident so that meant air travel and space considerations.  That's important...

Can anyone confirm the dimensions of the CA wall certificate?  I assume they’re the same as the EIT document but, since it will be another month until it arrives, I would like to get my frame made ahead of time.

Creating this thread for future forum searchers.  I put my completed application in the mail yesterday (5/28/2019) and they are scheduled to receive it on Friday (5/31/2019).  I'll record all activity here for the benefit of future aspiring licensees in California. *Edit to provide complete...

Background:  I hold a technology degree that I completed in 2015 (Electro-mechanical, TAC/ABET) and I earned this through part-time attendance starting in 2008.  I began working in industry, under licensed PE's in 2011 (for what it's worth, NCEES has approved my pre-graduation experience as...

Just wanted to share that I did the CA take-home rules/law exam last night.  Umm...  Don't underestimate that thing.  It took way longer than I anticipated.  Actually set aside some distraction-free time for yourself to get through it else frustration will set in quickly.

The CA engagement forms do not leave a lot of room for details.  It wouldn't be unethical to ask for an example of something that's passed muster before.  Would it?

Working on my application and it says I need to submit fingerprints.  The FAQ says I don't need to submit if I've already done so for the EIT.  There is no box to check saying that I've already submitted, only whether I'm using cards or LiveScan.  Can someone confirm that I don't need to...

Does anyone know how long it takes NCEES to update the published pass rates?

I, like most of us, have taken literally hundreds upon hundreds of tests.  I’ve taken AP exams, Journeyman licensing tests, college finals, the FE and even personality tests (haha!) and none have had such a visceral effect as that cruel devil last Friday. Lord, may the mercy of your light open...

I had my first dream about this test last night...  It was take home, the kids wouldn't leave me alone, I had 1 reference that wasn't even in my discipline and I forgot everything I had studied.  I woke up sweating. Just thought I'd share.  Happy studying!  Only 8ish more days!

Anyone have any insights on where exactly the exam location will be for the San Mateo Area?  I have my flight into SFO set but would like to get my hotel arranged as well.

Has anyone used this resource before?  Thoughts?  A quick (lazy) search didn't yield much about this specifically. http://www.engproguides.com/powerguide.html

I plan to call the CA board next week to be certain but I'd still like to to see if anyone on here can confirm a couple things while I can't get them off my mind this weekend. I live in OH and have passed the FE.  I plan to get licensed in CA for a number of reasons.  I intend to take the PE...
