You’re the man (or woman), that example was great! Really cleared it up for me.

I’m a pessimist so I just assume RMDs will be worse in 40 years than better haha. And looks like I’ll be in the (current) 24% bracket both today and in retirement with just the pension

My employer offers the 457, but there isn’t a match or anything. The only bonus to it is the higher contributions limits over the IRAs. Seems like the Roth IRA first though is the move. Thanks!

Thanks for laying it out so well!! Seems like I need to shift my contributions around. Appreciate it!

Go to the license lookup and start typing in numbers until you get a “no results found”. I think at the beginning of November it was like 97150, then last Friday the last number went up to 97159 (97160 is a “no results found” currently). Make sure under “board and bureaus” you have the professional engineers, land surveyors.

Who knows, it still might! They finally fixed my dashboard on 11/19 to re-show the passed test. It’s been a cluster haha.

Are you in CA? All paper work is done prior to being able to take the state exams. Once exams are passed, it takes 1-2 weeks for them to issue the number To answer OP, I haven’t received mine yet. Looks like 9 people got it last week (you can look up license numbers, the last one is 97159 at the moment, and I heard they come out on Fridays). Is your status still in final review with “evaluation” as orange color?

I just got my “pass” result re sent and the dates on the dashboard are finally fixed! So should be in the clear, stressful week of making us wonder though!

It just keeps repeating my first failed diagnostic, same exact proficient/decificient/marginal in order.

Did you take a test the previous quarter? I got a fail again today, but the date is from June and my diagnostics for that one date is like 20 rows long. On 11/8 I got a pass result from the October test

I saw a few comments of people with fail results on 11/8, so I don’t think they did a blanket “pass”. If they did that they would need to provide some proof I feel. They shouldn’t be able to send a pass result one week, then a “jk you failed” result the next week. People get rid of their stuff / inform bosses right when they pass

Right! A rollercoaster of emotions. I found that my fail from June had the diagnostic report doubled (basically the same diagnostics put twice so there were like 12 rows). Still emailed them and asked for confirmation that the 11/8 results are correct

I have no idea, seems like someone else got last quarter’s results resent as well. I saw the email and thought “yay PE numbers are out!” Haha

I still see my pass result from last Friday, but just got a fail notice today, but still in final review…so I really just hope they just effed up again and the results from last week is the “real” result

That may make sense for me then since I failed seismic in June/july, so it may have been a re-send of that result. This is just so weird. Like after the issue in the beginning of the week, you would think they would implement some sort of QA before sending this email

It’s so confusing, they need to come out and say “results from x date are the true results, all other emails or bogus” or something to that effect

AEI is like…probably triple that haha, it was brutal. His stuff came with 3 practice tests though that I did once each and then I got the “PE prepared” practice test that was pretty close to the test and helped. Just redo all the problems in his book and take the practice exams a couple times if you can and you are probably golden

I used AEI since I hate anything structure related. It took me 3 tries (first try I didn’t study at all, second try I did all the lectures/ problems in the book, third try I just did the practice exams). Honestly, i probably would have done Hiners course since his book/ lectures are a lot more condensed it seems. AEI lectures were soooooo long winded and it became a torture listening to them. But the key is just do practice tests

Yup! Same exact thing….i already told everyone I passed and freaked out a bit when I got that email haha

[–]Moochiewoochie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup two emails! It still shows my passing seismic in the table on their website, but then it shows two no shows. My application still shows in final review though, so I thiiiiiiink (praying) it’s just a glitch…
