Finally,the long wait was over.

The PE exam was brutal but the wait for the result was worst.

I have to agree the wait was far worse than taking the exam

This is going to be one long ass weekend.  Usually what I want, but come on, I need to know my results.  I've gone through feeling confident I passed to thinking I've failed to I don't know what.  It's never ending until I see the results... :waitwall:

I'm not anti Apple at all...in fact, I love macs and am totally open to all platforms and **** but the fact is that since having to be rid of my droid for iPhones for the past several years due to my employer, all I've experienced are crashes, bugs, problems, and severe annoyance.  Based solely on my own personal experiences, iPhones can suck my professional engineer clit.   'Nuff said.

I passed the Civil-WR in Texas. I felt like an elite athlete going into the Olympics with how well I knew what I studied, when walking into the exam. I took an 8 hour practice test with real conditions and a few 4 hour exams, ear plugs in a study room at my boyfriend's business school. Walking out, I was so sad. I thought I might have scraped by...maybe! I got an 86. My mind is blown. That test is a real b!tch. My best advice for those that didn't pass is to actually learn how they want you to answer the questions. I was fortunate that my employer pretty much auto-enrolled me in Test Masters. They really really taught you how to take this kind of test.

Way OT, but still pure gold.

Is it Monday yet?

Ok , I looked at the BBB accreditation of NCEES and found complaints . One of them was dismissal for using wrong calculator model . Another one was about name on NCEES form not matching government ID . NCEES did not refund any of them and they have to retake exam . The moral of the story --- read NCEES rules carefully and make sure your application name matches your government issued ID . Proctors always check for this . And NCEES has posted list of calculators -- one guy took a TI-83 and complained that he was unfairly asked to leave by proctor .

Read through some of the complaints on Facebook. Amazing some of these people even graduated college.

I need some help. I took my PE-civil (transportation depth). I did not perform well in the morning. The PM was ok.

I took school of PE. I didn't help me much in the morning. Especially none for the Hydraulic questions, site development and material questions.

I need some advise to what course to take?

I heard EET-California is excellent. School of PE, I am not sure if they will change the practice problems that they have.

Also I heard testmasters (they are live classes, kind of hard to do it with work schedule)

Any suggestions..about EET-California..Thanks

I can't figure out who would file a complaint on either of those bases. Those rules are pretty damn clear.

I used my TI-89 on the FE exam and it was sweet. [emoji317][emoji317][emoji317][emoji317]

That means you're old.

 

[Ship Wreck PE]

Maybe?? They changed the rules because of people like me.
