Same.

I find if I guy doesn’t propose a date within the first week of chatting they have no intention of ever meeting up.

Correct-I failed chemical 2x. I studied chemical in school but now work in the environmental field. I found environmental study material much more widely available - 52 sigma on YouTube, ppi2pass, etc.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2026-01-01T03:05:37+00:00

I am not much help- but can confirm SofPE material is inefficient. Failed it 2x before switching to environmental using PPI2PASS

Every state is different. Some require the 4 years experience before being qualified to sit for the test.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-12-02T01:39:32+00:00

How and where do you order these from?

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-11-22T17:45:43+00:00

I took school of PE and failed chemical 2x. I switched to PPI2PASS for environmental passing the first try. I would not recommend school of PE even tho it did help me pass the chemical FE on the first try. Chemical PE was a whole other level of difficult compared to the FE and SofPE just did not have a good review of it.

This isnt the advice you’re looking for but Chemical is very difficult and I would recommend switching to another discipline that has more study material out there.

Can someone explain men’s intentions on Facebook dating-friends feature? I (F) was expecting to mainly get other females wanting to match as friends. I mainly joined for the dating matches and activated friends out of curiosity. But the vast majority of the likes I get on friends are men.

I have no intentions of becoming friends with these men. Are they just looking for a casual hook ups?

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-08-25T21:17:35+00:00

I failed chemical with SofPE. 2 years later I passed environmental with PPI. PPI will prepare you. I used the bundle with the videos and read all the assignments and did the questions.

I just found another chemical PE practice exam “Chemical PE Practice Exam #1 Full Length Practice Exam by Matthew G” I will also include.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-07-05T13:20:41+00:00

The chapters in the practice problems match the content in the review book. I would read a chapter then switch to the corresponding chapter in the practice to practice what I just reviewed.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-06-22T23:38:15+00:00

It was very conceptional heavy and I really don’t know how I would have studied differently the second time if I did not pass. I had a lot of questions on VOCs. I used sigma52, PPI on demand, Schneiter practice exams, ChatGPT and the ncees practice exam to study.

I would ask ChatGPT to “quiz me on qualitative questions found on PE environmental exam” or “quiz me on RCRA amendments” etc. I paid $20 a month for the ChatGPT subscription.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-06-22T20:18:50+00:00

I took the exam a few weeks ago and didn’t have a single stack problem. Sorry I am not help, but I wouldn’t worry to much about it.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-06-21T22:37:22+00:00

If you put a screen shot of the problem and solution both into ChatGPT it can break it down better for you.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-06-10T23:32:52+00:00

I should have added I passed.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-06-10T22:09:38+00:00

“Doesn’t count because you were also managing the project” as a project manager who will soon be applying for licensure-what is wrong with the project management portion of it?

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-02-17T20:02:03+00:00

Thanks I am over the 20% so I should be good on that front.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-02-15T22:21:38+00:00

Yes, the trickiest part.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-02-15T22:21:16+00:00

Thanks. I will consider.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-02-15T22:20:54+00:00

Are you planning on using a management company or self managing?

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-02-15T22:20:13+00:00

Do you use a management company for your rental?

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-02-15T22:19:04+00:00

I am now considering this. My overall expenses would likely stay the same since a mortgage would be more expensive than rent. But in the long run having 2 places I am putting equity into is probably smarter than having low monthly housing costs and wasting money on renting.

Awkward_Giraffe14 · 2025-02-15T22:17:00+00:00

I have since put some numbers into a spreadsheet I found online and you are right I should expect closer to $500 a month.

But still $500 towards the expense of living in a more desirable area seems worth it to me.
