    SE Takers October 2022, Welcome to the suck!

    Take it from a guy that has taken multiple CBT exams and passed......it's not overly difficult to find what you need using the digital codes they provide. trust me, I thought it would be, but if you have a slight idea of what you need to find, you can find it easy, i promise!

    The source is......NCEES? I thought that was sort of obvious.

    You'll have all that info in the reference manual they provide as well as the codes that they will provide.

    SE Takers October 2022, Welcome to the suck!

    I guess that's one good thing about when this thing goes computer based. You can pass all four parts separately. Even the morning vs. afternoon on the same component (vertical or lateral) can be passed independently. My only complaint is that the total time of the exam, if you pass all four...

    See I never had an issue with the word fail. Fail and "not successful" are just synonyms. When I'm not successful at something, saying it that way makes me just as upset as saying i failed lol. But in either case, it seems like your only problems from these results are concrete in the morning...

    Article on Concern of SE Exam Transition to Computer Based Test

    I mean, you're not wrong! But there's a reason we haven't (yet) left the profession, or at least that's what I try to remind myself when things seem frustrating!

    Article on Concern of SE Exam Transition to Computer Based Test

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that somehow, some way, NSPE got involved with NCEES and had a hand in some of these decisions. Because if I'm an organization opposed to SE licensure and I see it taking the country by storm the way it is, my first plan would be to discourage people...

    Help on PE exam results diagnostic

    Looking at the most recent pass rates, it looks like that one is a tough exam with only a 49% pass rate (NCEES PE exam pass rates) My advice is to focus on the areas where your scaled score is less than 7.5 (essentially, 50% of the average passing examinee). I estimate you got 7/14 questions...

    I did just pass the PE Civil: Structural exam earlier this year. So, yes, I'd say that's accurate! Yep, I'm as into the weeds with design as you can get without getting poison ivy!

    SE Takers October 2022, Welcome to the suck!

    Question for those who have attempted this beast of an exam: I'm considering sitting for it next April (Vertical) and October (lateral). By the time I sit for it in April 2023, I will have about 6 years of experience, mostly in buildings, but ranging from residential, commercial, material...
