I'm in CO but went to KY to take it.  Congrats on passing.  Hopefully CO takes my KY license transfer no problem.

PASSED! ME T&F. Woohoo! First try. So happy.

Also, just found out I'm going to be a Dad.

What a morning!

@crimsoneye wow. Congrats and good luck.

Can you imagine if you had to go through the studying with a pregnant wife and/or kids running around? Congrats on both!

This really is the best monday I've had in a really long time! I might have to go skiing tomorrow! 

That T&F afternoon was a doozy for me, I'm really glad I don't have to do it again!

at the time I took the PE I had 3 kids (all very young) and wife was going to nursing school, it can be done, but it does make it easier if you don't have the younglings around

@npcannon @Road Guy   Definitely! So glad this is out of the way. Oh happy day!

I Failed in Colorado, Civil!!! Not what I was expecting. I thought I did really good on soils and few other areas. The score shows different. So heartbreaking when you put so much "time", money and effort into something and fail. Of course everyone at work will be asking the question if you passed. Than there is the promotion that I really want and need that will be delayed. Not the way I wanted to start the week. I told my wife that all I wanted for Christmas was to pass the test (because I was neglecting family for 2 months leading up to test). Lump of coal for me :-(    I chilled a 10yr old bottle in hopes of celebrating. 

Congrats to all that passed. I know the hard work that goes into passing test.

@Shadyplay PE 2015 I'm sorry to hear that. It's tough. I studied 3 hrs a night from May to October and know how it feels to neglect family. It's tough on the wife especially. 

Don't give up! I know engineers at my job who got it on the fourth and fifth tries.

No coal for you. Use this heartbreak as motivation. Crack open the bottle of booze, enjoy it with your wife, and spend the next four months working your *** off. 

Good luck.

Yeah I know what it's like.... my son is 3 and my daughter was just born when I started studying... only 7 months now. Be thankful you have this over and done with now!! ?

Congrats guys!

To those who failed, do not give up. This test and the work leading up to it is very stressful, and having gone through it once will make you that much better prepared for the next one.

My kids were 3 and 1 when I took the exam and my wife was also in nursing school. Mrs Dex in school actually made things a little easier, as we both would push the kids to bed at a relatively early hour (7:30-8) and we would retreat to our own respective corners to study for a few hours each night. We would then alternate weekend days with study and kid duties (she would watch the kids Saturday while I studied, and vice versa on Sunday). By the end of that period we were seriously on the verge of divorce. We've been married almost 8 years since (this summer will be our 15yr anniversary).
