Yes, the environmental PE used to be 100 questions. I think It's 80 questions now. 

there's a PE exam that has more than 80 questions??

Pretty sure it's still 100.

I get the list of PE exams that are all blocked off until 12/4 when registration opens again.

Cool thanks for checking! Man this wait is worse that waiting for my wife's due date ..haha

Shoot I was wrong. It's back to 80 now. You were right. It was definitely 100 last two sessions. Weird.

It will be 80 starting April 2018.

You failed with a 63? OK now I'm worried... I thought a 75%+/- would pretty much guarantee passing... 

63 out of a 100, and that was withe the curve.

That sounds rough..I'm guessing they split it 50 in the am and 50 in the PM?

Yep. Haha yes definitely brain dead after each session but not sure how much better the 80 question exam will be. Guess I'll found out pp

Did you ever think about switching to PE Civil Water Resources and Environmental? I would assume that the PM would be somewhat similar or are they 2 totally different exams

PPI sent me an email - Only one week left to save $550, sale ends 12/7....it's a sign! (Probably that I've failed, lol and should sign up now and save the $550). Meh.

I passed years ago and I still occasionally get an email or snail mail advertising those courses. What's even funnier is that they are sending me ads for classes outside my discipline.

I thought about it...but I think that would mean taking the Civil AM Breadth. At least with the environmental exam, I don't have to do the AM Breadth. I'm in remediation so I do very little actual engineering.  Honestly I have no desire to relearn structures and the other subjects I haven't touched in ten years, haha.

Oh c'mon. Where's your sense of adventure?! I know you miss differential equations!

Sounds like a good sign to me! I clicked on it and I get this:

I was kidding but now I am depressed...lol

Just curious did you have to update any information when you clicked "Register"

Is this really accurate about being able to register for the exam? I am getting this screen as well, after updating my information. Should I not be seeing this screen?

I wasn't being totally serious..sorry didn't mean to worry you...I just wanted confirmation if others were getting the same thing...I don't remember seeing this last April...its like the theory someone had about getting the exam surveys..if it were true i take it they have a serious glitch in their system

Yes you can register for the Chemical because it is a CBT now and you can take it up to four times a year. That is of course it follows the FE CBT standards. Not sure if it does or not.

The register option has been there at least since 11-17. That’s when I first noticed the date to register opened on 12-4. I think we will see results tomorrow.  Surely they wouldn’t open registration before previous results were posted.

Ouch! You should not be seeing that screen.

Ahhh, hadn't finished the info update.  I do get the same screen as you.  So, since registration opens Monday, wonder if results may be released this week?  Wonder how the open registration date and results release date lined up in the past.  Didn't even pay attention to it after the spring exam.

 

[cuatona1]

Ouch! You should not be seeing that screen.

Question is...when did you get the exam survey?!! lol

 

[SacMe24]

Based on my experience from the last time I took the exam (April '17, Mechanical MDM), none of these signs really matter...just wait until you get that email from NCEES in your inbox and THEN you will really know....good luck to us all !!
