"You may tab reference books before the exam with sticky notes and flags, but pads of sticky notes and flags are not permitted in
the exam room"

Does this mean things like this

are all forbidden in the exam? I have a coworker who took the exam in California in October and he had all his books tabbed as hell. Has the policy changed for April 2015? This really scares me

Don't think you can bring a full pad of them but can tab pages

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

It's exactly as the rule says. You may use post-it notes and tags on your references. You are not allowed to bring pads of post-it notes with you to the exam. The ones attached to your references don't count.

The fact that this rule "scares you" scares me. I thought what NCEES states is pretty clear.... no sticky note pads by themselves, no flags by themselves...this goes along the lines of having nothing loose. The policy has not changed.

You may use sticky notes to tab your books.

Oh, and Ptatohed, please move this thread to the appropriate forum.

You first posted the (crystal clear) answer to your question, and then you asked the question. lol

I agree Wizard. Some of these PE exam questions are ridiculously obvious. I'm not trying to be insulting but as engineers we are expected be able to read and understand tech specs etc. so I'm not sure why there are so many questions that are clearly spelled out in the rules.

Either way, hope your question was answered.

Sometimes anxiety needs a second set of eyes and logic to interpret the rules.

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Up studying already Matt?

 

[matt267 PE]

Studying? Ain't nobody got thyme fo dat. Some a$$hole hid plastic eggs with candy in them around the house. My daughter insisted on picked them all up.

We also have family coming over today so I have a to do list. Something about cleaning the ham and cooking the dog. Or some sh!t like that.

Happy Easter!

[Ramnares P.E.]

Happy Easter to you too.

This non-believing family still does all the secular fun stuff for Easter - the Easter-Bunny, baskets, candy, egg-hunts, egg-dying, family get-togethers, etc. Same with Christmas.
