Transportation Depth.
Louisiana changed the rules this year. You are eligible to take the exam without the 4 years experience now.. however, you still can't get your license until you have 4 years experience.
LAPELS (La professional engineering and land surveying board) has made it clear that if you ever move out of state, some states might not honor the early taking of the exam, and you might need to take it again.
It kind of fricked me because I was eligible under the old rules to take the April 2015 exam since I had 3.5 years experience at the registration date. However, the new rules stipulate that unless you have 4 years at the registration date (which I don't), you are an "early taker."

I find the early option a bit puzzling
I don't see the advantage of letting you take it early. I'd rather know that the applicants are knowledgeable of the material at the time of licensure rather than fresh out of school.

That's the reason I waited to take the PE exam. NY won't let you even apply until you have 4 years at application. So even if I went home to take it, NYS wouldn't recognize it. I plan on taking it in October, Civil/Structural. I contemplated taking SE/PE, but that's supposed to be way harder.

I took the test 2 years ago with about 3.5 years experience but I couldn't be licensed until I had 4 years of experience. Good luck to whoever is taking it!
