Getting our books to the table!!??

[colostructural]

Ok, this may sound like a stupid question, but how is everyone planning on bringing all their books to the table?

Per NCEES

"Pack all personal items in a clear bag; opaque bags

such as the green, blue, yellow, white, or brown plastic

bags used by grocery stores are not allowed. No purses

or backpacks are allowed in the exam room."

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think my full AASHTO code alone will rip through a plastic bag let alone the 10 other books I plan on bringing to the exam (probably a combined weight of 120 lbs)!! I was planning on bringing them in a suit case, but it appears that has been ruled out. Are they afraid some crazy structural is completely fed up with taking these exams and brings in a bomb?? Ugh. Roller bin? Sherpa? Radio Flyer Red Wagon?

Where did you see that? Somebody else asked about that on here one time and it turned out that those instructions were for the FE exam which is closed book.

Read carefully, that's for the FE exam, not the PE exam. Most people brought rolling suitcases to the PE.

Thanks for the heads up. I noticed it said for the FE and FS but I didn't want to show up and have someone tell me that I can't pack it in for the SE. Thanks!!!

I bought one of these nifty things from Office Depot and it worked great.



At our testing facility they made everyone that had a backpack leave it outside of the testing room...

I have one of those rolling boxes as well in addition to a clear plastic box for the AASHTO code alone, I was blown away by how big that thing is!

I guess engineers do have a sense of humor.
