October 2021 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[morphe83 PE]

I'm 46 and have 19 years experience in electrical power, but with a degree in mechanical. When I took the P/P, I was one of the older ones in the room, but not the oldest. You're right, it's never too late!

Amazing! you definitely are an inspiration.

I don’t know where I disrespected women.

In my area of US, I’ve never seen anyone in 10 years discriminated based on gender, origin, or skin tone. People in my area get fired and hired purely based on their professional qualities, both in offices and construction job sites. That is why I put “skillset” first and try to encourage younger professionals to concentrate on that rather than constantly think that they will be discriminated for certain reasons and it will limit their carrier growth…
Alright, the conversation went too much sideways… I didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings. Back to the exam results.

Just because YOU don't SEE it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

You answered your own question there.

"I choose to ignore it, so that must mean it doesn't happen" is a terrible take.

@jean15paul_PE, I am not sure if it was you but remember seeing in this thread that someone took the PE exam after 14 years of experience, I think it was you? anyways same here 14 years in structural design & initially 2 years in architectural design my bachelor was architectural engineering! never too late I guess . On the exam day many seemed to be in their late twenties, with my late thirties felt really old but thanks to SE people I Wasn't the oldest one in the room hahaha.

Yep that's me. I'm an ME. I've never needed a PE for any of my jobs, but I always wanted to do it for the accomplishment. I had started studying a couple times in the past, but I wasn't able to justify the time and money (books, course, fees, etc), so I quit.
After 14 years I started with a new company. A PE still isn't necessary, but they are willing to pay for everything anyway. So I finally forced myself to do it.

but we are seeing changes in the OH State license lookup if they have entered your results. A couple people on reddit have said they're seeing changes from "Exam Eligible" to "Fee Required."

If it says "fee required" does that mean that you passed? Just looked mine up and it still says "Exam eligible", but I was just curious. I hope that doesn't mean I failed if its not updated.

Just another fellow Ohioan tired of waiting...

Complete unsure on the license website pass/fail results. @RBHeadge PE do you happen to know what it means?

I have the "fee required" message on the Ohio state licensing board website, but I too have no idea what this means.

 

[RBHeadge PE]

I'm not familiar with Ohios system. Logically, it shouldn't be asking for a fee unless there's a reason to ask for a fee, which implies the person passed the exam.

However I don't know for sure. Are there any repeat Ohio takers in the thread? We're you ever asked to pay a fee after failing?

On the whole, I'd feel much better as a person who's file says "fee required" as opposed to "exam eligable".

And it reads like their still updating so there's plenty of time for things to change.

[sbucich]

Does anyone know how long it takes the Washington State board to approve license applications?

 

[TurboNerd]

Mississippi is taking it's sweet time. Please send help.

Does anyone know how long it takes the Washington State board to approve license applications?

Last year NCEES Results for WA were released 12/18 (a very, very painful wait). I received notification that my license was issued 12/26.

@BlueBlueprint_PE you need to take the underscore out of your name.....it forces a single letter onto a second line and it's driving me nuts lol

Check the liscense lookup. Mississippi adds licenses before they authorize NCEES to release results
