Agreed!@fujichan, I like the way you think...forever young!
Seriously though, I'd give up that youth for a big green PASS!
I hear ya. I made a 69 the first time I took the FE. But I definitely do not remember stressing about taking it a second time.I took it in 2006. The first time, I got a score (68...real bummer). The second time I took it was the time when they stopped giving you a score and only pass/fail results. I think I was able to check our secretary of state's website to see if I'd been issued an EIT license before I actually got the letter in the mail.
I don't remember being this anxious about the results back then. Man, I'm old. Taking the PE 13 years after graduating from college really sucks.
Try taking the PE 20 years after graduating... THAT really sucks....anyway I can totally relate...let's hope for a PASS come next Thu...I took it in 2006.

There is hope. I took the PE last April and passed 24 years after graduating. Hang onto hope. You can do it.Try taking the PE 20 years after graduating... THAT really sucks....anyway I can totally relate...let's hope for a PASS come next Thu...
Thanks for the confidence booster !.. I really appreciate it.. I worked my ass off this third time taking it.... so hoping and praying for an early christmas/birthday gift....There is hope. I took the PE last April and passed 24 years after graduating. Hang onto hope. You can do it.
Hello Leggo PE,Back in my time, I took PPI then EET. EET > PPI in my opinion, for civil structural.
Definitely bring all the design codes. You can get by with just chapters 1-4 in aashto, as those have all the loading information. You wouldn't want to be asked a simple look it up in the code type question and not have the code available. I didn't take any courses but I brought way too much material with me, in terms of practice problems etc. I would probably bring the same amount again though, because a lot of my issues with exams come from anxiety and being anxious that I didn't bring something I of course might end up needing definitely wouldn't add to my probability of passing. I know I'm no leggo, but my $0.02Hello Leggo PE,
When you took the exam, did you bring PPI materials, EET materials, and all the recommended design codes?
I read some of your old posts [emoji3], more or less how many practice problems in total you have solved?
Thanks tj. How many practice problems have you solved prior to exam? (Including both quantitative & qualitative for the morning and afternoon, would you say probably around 1000+ practice problems or less?)Definitely bring all the design codes.

Dean, as tj mentioned bring any code references you have that is in the exam specifications. If the code is referenced in the specs they can ask you anything from that code.Thanks tj.

It's not the quantity that matters, but rather the quality.Thanks tj. How many practice problems have you solved prior to exam?
Short answer, yes. But not in the time frame you are looking for.So question for all you PE's out there - once you received the NCEES "Results are available" email, did you get any follow up congratulatory emails from NCEES or your state? The thought of opening that NCEES website again to check fills me with dread, and it would be so much easier with a email hint before hand...
@fujichan did you check? Exam of this type has already been registered! I guess we cannot register until we know the result
Is this the screen that you guys got?Yep....argh! The torture continues.
I had the screen the guys were describing at first, an exam of this type has already been registered. Know I have the same as shown here
