Thanks for your words of inspiration... I am 47 and today I found out I failed the PE Mechanical Systems & Design test for the 2nd time. Very discouraged but thinking I'll try it next year.... I need time to recoup.

I turn 45 next month. I first took this exam in 1998, 3 times and failed. Back then the afternoon was a written exam and I missed passing the PE by 1 point and BPELGS wouldn't let it slide. I was so discouraged and gave up.....a move I regretted all these years. I signed up and took the exam again Oct. 2015 and finally passed CA's rigorous exams this April. I was also diagnosed with cystic renal cell carcinoma after the October 2016 exam and thought I'd have to put the exam on hold why I was treated for cancer. Life happens, age is irrelevant, keep moving forward. The long hours you put in now will pay off. If I did it, so can everyone else. I'm elated to finally put this behind me and I'm cancer free. Never give up!

Almost the same boat here.

Passed the FE at 22, last semester of college.

Passed PE at 33, first time. Also with a 6 month old, and 2 year old at home.

I passed at 43 with 5 kids(ages 4,4,6,11,20) and a job with travel. It can be done, but it took me 3 tries and a review course to organize.

Diego26....I don't know what to say... thank you for the very kind words of encouragement and I'm very happy that your determination not only got you through the exam but also freed your body from disease. Thanks again for sharing your story with me... I will definitely try it again, I just need to figure out how I'm going to go about it this 3rd time.

Once again thank you from the bottom of my heart.....

[Npstephe]

I Took the FE at 22 while still in college and just passed the PE in April 2017 first try at 28, once I got my experience needed to apply. I had a 1 year old at home during the studying, which made it way harder, but my wife and boss were very supportive. I studied some at work(as long as projects still went out on time) and some at home.

Not bragging here, It took me 3 attempts, and was a total pain in the ***. So happy it's over!

I passed the FE exam at 21 (still in college). I passed the PE exam at the age of 26. I studied for hundreds of hours over several months. IMHO, it's not about the age, it about the time one puts in to prepare for the exam. And I can't forget, I had a very supportive finance, and a study buddy too (my dog ).
