This is correct. You get three chances to pass the PE exam in FL before having to go back and do more classes and such. Florida has you do an initial application. That application is good for 3 years and has a higher fee associated with it ($230). Any time you want to take a test within those three years, you have to fill out an application to retake the exam before you sign up with ELSES. That application is only $125 compared to the initial application. The initial application goes through and checks your experience and education and all. They are just checking to see if you have already filled out an initial application with the reexamination application. None of these fees are applied to the exam. If it has been more than three years since the initial application, they want your larger fee and all of the experience you had gotten in the years since the last initial application. But I am convinced, most of all, they just want more of your money.I believe that it is three strikes and your out. Meaning 12 hours of additional courses and a full resubmittal of your application. The "entire" application.
This is my last shot. On my 2nd strike, so hopefully I passed this time.
Lots of hoops in Florida.
Good luck to all who are waiting on FL Results... It's a killer but we are one of the early states to receive results.
