Hello,
I've been around the forum since 2013 (When I took the FE exam) and just took the April 2018 PE exam (Environmental). Thought I'd say my greetings as this thread/forum has helped me gain an insight to what PE exam is like and how much studying I would need.
I'm bio-environmental science major by trade but pursuing PE license to further my career.
I do have a master's degree in Civil Engineering (Highway Design) which helped tremendously when I had to argue employers why I should be hired as an "engineer".
Took the exam this past weekend to test out the water (didn't really do any studying other than the night before checking out the practice exams) but you know what? I feel semi-confident that I've passed if the cut line is 60 questions out of 80. The exam itself was easy enough that I was able to utilize the reference manual to "learn as I go". I doubt I would've had enough time if it was 100 question instead of 80 but 4 hours per 40 question felt pretty adequate.
Currently working at an environmental consulting firm doing air and hope to apply for my PE license in a month or so
