The "Who's taking what" topic

[ALBin517 v2.0]

So, with one full week to spare I get my "OK" from my state board to sign up to take the exam with ELSES. (March 1 is the last day to sign up with ELSES) lusone:
My question to everyone is:

1. Are you going to take the April PE exam?

2. What exam are you taking?

3. How many times have you taken the exam?

4. What other exams have you passed?

5. Where are you taking it?

This might help form up some study groups.

1) Yes

2) Transportation

3) None

4) FE - 2002

5) Owosso, MI (Baker College)

Funny thing about the site - it is officially the "Lansing location" but Owosso is a small town located approximately equidistant from Lansing, Flint and Saginaw. It's in farm country, out in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully, I live in the middle of nowhere and the site is about 8 miles from my house.

Fudgey,
I think you should lobby NCEES to add a "lunch" afternoon module, you'd ace that sucker! :beerchug:

Yes, that may be a good idea. Here's is my first study tip for those taking the lunch depth section.

I don't think you can answer that without breaking exam confidentiality agreements.

He just uses the force on the taco.

Right on Ritchie!!

Be prepared to be in one BIG room with 300-500 people!

Edit: Let me the first this exam season to say.... BRING IT ON!!!

 

[Ritchie503]

We were in a huge room with lots of people for the FE exam, so that part doesn't bother me. Since there is only one location in this state to take the exam, I figured that would mean a lot of people.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

Damn, Minnesota is a pretty large state, and they only have one site? That's gotta be a serious drive from some areas.

Anyone take the mechanical PE in oct or apr of last year..... was the morning session heavy on a certain area?

Thanks

jroyce

 

[jroyce]

Thanks jroyce, that makes me feel better.
I've found it difficult to get any information from the PA Board -- that's if you are lucky enough to have them answer the phone. I've called a number of times where, after going through a 5 minute automated message, the computer says "No one can take your call, Goodbye!"

I'll be sure to let you know when I hear something.

AJK,

I got my letter saying I was approved to take the test on March 3. Hope yours comes soon.

 

[Ritchie503]

Only one site for the PE in Minnesota (2 extra for FE for college students). But it has to be around 98% of Minnesota residents live within 2.5 hours of the Twin Cities, northern MN is very large but not very populated. We are the land of 10,000 frozen lakes right now.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

We're a one test center state too. The site is pretty centrally located and surprisingly doesn't suffer from "you can't get there from here" syndrome.

What's really crazy is that I know a few people in Wisconsin taking the PE exam in MN because the twin cities are closer.

I took it in October and passed. I didn't think the morning session was heavy on any certain area, it closely paralelled the NCEES practice exam morning session. The afternoon has the potential for focusing on one thing though. I wouldn't skip any depth problem types in the hopes that they might not be on the exam.

AJK,

Thanks for the info jroyce. I still did not recieve anything yet as of March 7. I hope I'm not getting screwed.

 

[Ritchie503]

Kevo, I know what you mean, especially if live in Northwestern Wisconsin as their test centers are in the southern part of the state. Minnesota doesn't allow you to procotor anymore.

AJK,
I got my letter saying I was approved to take the test on March 3. Hope yours comes soon.

Finally got my approval letter.

I was starting to get worried there.
