Question about the PE exam
Posted on 11/6/14 at 10:27 am

The board has recently modified rule §1305, which allows an applicant, certified as an Engineer Intern by LAPELS, to take the PE exam, ‘but has not yet met the experience requirement for licensure as a professional engineer’.
Is anyone considering taking the PE exam early? Those who have taken it, would you recommend qualified applicants take it early? I'm having the thought that I'll have more time to study for it during grad school (take it this April) than once I have a job.
I appreciate any legitimate answers.

We just played basketball most of the time, no tests.

Is that just for Louisiana?

Elimination was the best game ever for non-dribbling fools like me.

Well, even if you pass the PE test, don't dare call yourself an Engineer until you get your papers from LAPELS. You can be castrated for doing so.
It's best to ask CharlesLSU for this kind of advice. I suggest you add his name to the subject title.

I took it after the 4 years working. It'll certainly be tougher to take if without the working experience, but you have nothing to lose but time and money, so go for it.

I plan on taking it for Petroleum Engineering next October, which will be a little more than 3 years after graduation. It's a tad early but not much.

I believe you're looking in the wrong forum big dog.

Aren't you supposed to actually work for a while before you take the test. Kinda like all the dumb fricks who go to grad school with no experience. That's not how it's supposed to work.

I wouldn't take it fresh out of school, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot after a year or two. If you're in grad school and your course of study is really what you're interested in, not being directed completely by the professors, then I'd bet that by the end you'll be ready to take it. It takes some study time dedicated to it.

I just went to grad school so I could stay at LSU, and had finally figured out how to study.

Yea I'm seeing that 300 hours is a rough average
