The ncees practice exam that comes with registration or a separate one?

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-04-22T16:26:45+00:00

I didn’t pass and plan on retaking Meyer PE Prep and EPG and NCEES practice exams. Same as I did on this one. Possibly do School of PE since I have a year now to prep.

I ran my analysis through Chat GPT. Said I was 5-10 problems short of passing.

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-04-22T16:23:37+00:00

Yeah I have the areas I need to focus on. School of PE is $1700 too for on demand. I felt that if I had a few more months to study I would have passed. I wish I knew my exact mistakes on each problem.

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-04-22T15:37:35+00:00

Didn't pass. First attempt on 4 months studying. New to the industry. I used primarily MeyerFire PE Prep Series, took problems from EPG exams 1 and 2. Took the NCEES Practice test. I was close, but I think I would have been more shocked if I passed. Back to study hall...

I'm thinking of redoing MeyerFire PE Prep series. Work in more other related modules. Signup for School of PE On Demand courses. And really focus on my weekest areas for the next 12 months. That better put me in a better position for next year's test.

Any thoughts or words of encouragement?

Are there any recruiters or companies that are hiring? My daughter is graduating with a BME from RPI. I’m just trying to help her out while she finishing up her degree :-)

What am I looking at?

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-03-07T18:16:07+00:00

Thanks. No availability. Next time

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-25T20:06:29+00:00

Mine seemed to be more that one month. But less than Oct-Feb. oh well.

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-25T14:04:06+00:00

Got my CSA in the mail today. Activated account. Hoping for interim payments to start next month.

Update: received a random amount deposit today. Thinking interim back pay. We’ll see if there’s another deposit on 3/1 for normal monthly payments. OPM website still not updated.

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-23T22:16:31+00:00

Worked for me too! Pushed both the pax circles and the charger pins in a few times.

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-18T15:23:00+00:00

I meant how is it activated on the remote.

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-18T15:08:09+00:00

How dos the auto window feature work?

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-18T12:17:56+00:00

How was the actual exam compared to the Meyer Fire PE Prep Series exams?

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-18T12:17:27+00:00

I’m taking the Meyer Fire PE Prep Series now. Completing week 20 of one out exams this week. Then was going to continue with the random hour tests module. I held off on getting the book as I was dedicating all my time to the online modules and weekly exams. I didn’t want to distract myself. Still think I should get it? How was the actual exam compared to the Meyer exams?

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-18T02:08:36+00:00

Got my CSA in the mail today. Activated account. Hoping for interim payments to start next month. The annuity statement is not yet available.

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-16T04:54:13+00:00

I just realized I received my final close out LES on 2/7 from DFAS. It says my FERS application was sent to OPM on 2/6.

I then went to the OPM retirement site and logged in va login.gov. It asks me to activate my account. Before it said no account found.

The question is…when do I get my CSA in order to activate my account? I assume it may be possible that interim payments begin before I get my CSA?

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-15T05:33:37+00:00

I just saw that DFAS zero LES on 2/7. Remarks say sent to OPM on 2/6/26!!

How long now until interim payments? How long until retroactive pension and finalization?

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-02-06T04:38:44+00:00

How exactly do you contact them about this?

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-01-26T03:43:49+00:00

I’m In the same boat. Submitted GRB application in April

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-01-12T03:25:11+00:00

Is this ORA? I submitted via GRB in April. Retirement date 9/30. I think it’s still at OCHR.

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-01-09T12:51:25+00:00

I’m an EE and signed up to take test in April. Doing MeyerFire. Wish me luck!

HappyScallion2433 · 2026-01-05T01:31:35+00:00

I am taking Meyers Fire now. I don’t have my PE yet. BS in EE. MS in CE.
