Finished university in 1996. Took FE Oct 2010 and PE Oct 2011. Passed both first time after hundreds of hours study shoooo! Heart nearly stopped twice-once when I logged onto ncees to get results for FE in '10 and and now PE '11

I am exactly in the same shoe, passed FE in Oct 2010, now PE Oct 2011, but sill waiting on my 2 state exams surveying and Seismic. If the result will be the same as for national exam......will be the best Christmas gift ever got....

Good luck to everyone

I am not sure if PE is going to help me get more money but I got it anyways because of financial support from my Manager.
