Fewer Locations for the SE?

[bonniferous]

I just logged onto NCEES to schedule my exam for this April and OKC is no longer an option. I then checked Fort Worth and it wasn't listed either. That means all Oklahomans have to go to either Houston, TX or Topeka, KS to take the exam. Does anyone know what's going on?

Unfortunate consequence of having the new CBT for the PE exam and the same P&P for the SE exam means there is less demand - so it's not cost effective for NCEES to maintain their previous testing facilities. There was a previous thread that discussed this - see below.

I've been scratching my head about the same issue, I was looking for a New York location and I can no longer find it. Like @Shannonsider_2016 said, this is a result of the PE exam being converted to a computer based format. I found this post that confirms it:

I think they are just being a bunch a $&#holes.

yeah, this was confirmed months ago. With only a few test takers for SE exam, it makes no sense for NCEES to rent the large venues that were previously required for SE+PE takers.
