FE Exam Oct. 2008

[EM_PS]

Basically, if the board doesn't find it/get it by close of business tomorrow, I'm out of luck to take the exam in October.

Yeah to echo C-Dog's sentiment, that does royally suck! Can't believe that red tape BS - in MI, there is no approval or application needed to the State Board - just to NCEES. And at that, you basically just select your university from a pulldown list, and click on your applicable degree; no transcript, no vouching needed. That really does suck Katiebug, I presume you have been on pace with your studying for the Oct date?

I just called again to see if the board got the verification form - they're checking and will call back.

UConn is being absolutely unhelpful. Not that I expect special treatment, but as an annual donor to the alumni association AND the School of Engineering Dean's Fund, I don't think it's asking too much for them to 1) Get my form sent to the state in a timely fashion given that I sent the request to them more than two months ago, and 2) Lacking that, work to get the request expedited when I discover three days before the deadline that it's not arrived to the state yet.

And yes, I've been studying for the October exam date, and am about a month in to my preparation.

Huh. I don't remember Laplace, Fourier or z-transforms on the morning session of the exam. However it's been a long time so maybe I've just forgotten. ldtimer:

The exam specifications don't list any of these transforms for the morning session, so it's pretty sneaky of them if they are asking questions about them in the morning. Laplace shows up in the ME and EE afternoon specs and Fourier and z-transforms show up on the EE afternoon, though.

I wish! I had to have three endorsers, get passport photos taken, and have my whole application notarized in addition to the stupid verification form. And that's just for the EIT. :screwloose:

Still no word from the state as to whether or not they found the form. As a taxpayer, I'm starting to get ticked.

The whole CT licensing system is screwed up, they have too many lawers on the board and only 1 engineer (I think).

I hope they found it.

Yup, the only engineer on the board is a Civil prof from UConn. The rest are very obviously political appointees. I think there's one person in the licensing services department who handles all of the engineering and surveying licensing tasks.

They apparently found the form - none of my phone calls to the state got me any further than "We don't have it, and you probably won't be taking the exam in October." I stopped reviewing 2 weeks ago, only to get a letter in the mail today saying that the board reviewed me and deemed me eligible to take the exam, and a packet to send in to take the test.

Now to get caught up again in studying!

At least they found the paperwork. Good luck with the renewed study effort

Hi, i'm having the same problems like you used to have last summer when you posted this topic. Except! I just graduated on Dec 2008, and now planning on taking the FE on Oct 2009, some of the topics are still fresh in my mind, but it's only a few. I'm afraid that i don't have enough time to Review all materials for this test, and the problems that i have is my problem solving skill are slower than other examinees. I never take this test before and also hear a lot of comments about it (positive and negative). I have enougth study materials already, but unfornately don't know where to start, and what strategies, to apply, etc.. any advise will help!

Thank you in advance!

PS: I planned to take the Civil DS in the P.M section
