I'm checking my NCEES account everyday and can not stop thinking about the results.

Hopefully we get good news,

 
I've been out of school 30+ years and took my PE in April and found out I passed on May 25.  I took the FE two weeks ago and found out I passed the FE within 6 days.  Two days later my PE license was issued.  I studied on my own.  I put about 300 hours into the PE and about 175 hours into the FE.  I was far more worried about the FE but I think I did very well.  Of 110 questions, I outright guessed on 10, and was unsure on 10 more.  I think I got 75-85 correct, possibly as many as 88 of 110.  The PE AM session was the hardest exam of my life, and I left for lunch break thinking I got 50% right.  I think I got 30 of 40 right on the PM session of the PE.  It was a challenge re-learning Diff Eqns, matrices, Thermodynamics, etc. after so many years.  I worked hard and did not use the online review courses as I had invested $1000 in reference manuals, practice exams, solved problems workbooks and exam/application fees.  I feel a sense of relief.  I prayed often and give God the glory.  It was a long process but so worth it.  I found the FE to be far easier than the PE, even though the FE required me to review things from 35 years ago.  One can also find a lot of helpful videos on YouTube - in particular for the FE exam (e.g., Calculus, Thermo, Fluids, Statis & Dynamics, etc.).
