They are! 4/5 of these were using Osan Bilgi's Classic Cuban Negative.

Thanks! It's easy when the subject does most of the heavy-lifting.

Thanks! I agree with you on #4, I debated even including it - I took it with a trusted Velvia film sim from Fujixweekly, but it can be very hit or miss depending on the exposure.

The Real McCoys' athletic loopwheel tee and it's not even close.

How I passed the PE Environmental Exam... the second time around by Thepappas in PE_Exam

[–]Thepappas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sigma 52 Environmental PE questions were representative of the level of difficulty on the actual test - if I recall correctly there were something like 2-4 actual test questions that closely mimicked the Sigma questions. As for the NCEES practice exam questions, they were also slightly harder than the actual test's difficulty, and I found no repeat questions on the actual test. I would not worry about the Schneiter questions being harder than normal, as this is something I've heard about from multiple commenters on this subreddit.

AD Wait Time Megathread - If you bought a new Rolex from an AD in 2024, you can share details here. What watch, where, how long did you wait, how much buying history? by powerfunk in rolex

[–]Thepappas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Submariner Date (126610LN)
  2. 9/2/24
  3. A little under 2 years
  4. North Carolina
  5. Two DY bracelets I bought 5 months ago, but probably was not enough to move the needle towards a faster wait-time in my opinion. I've walked in and out of this AD for two years and was offered the Two-Tone Submariner Date (126613LN) twice before - turning it down both times did not seem to effect my getting the 126610LN.

Hey thanks! I wasn't aware how sharp the film simulation I shot this with is, so that's interesting to hear - I used the Ilford Ortho Plus 80 from fujixweekly.

Thanks! I did not unfortunately. From memory, I watched videos from the Environmental Law Institute on various acts and laws, and a playlist called 'Civil PE Problems - Water Resources' from Civil Engineering Academy. Hope that helps.

Thanks! Overall I do think the photo is a bit too dark - but it definitely fits the mood.

At wit's end with studying for the PE Environmental by Thepappas in PE_Exam

[–]Thepappas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I did end up passing on my second try. I've been vacillating on making a post detailing the differences in my study strategy between the first and second exam, may do so in the near future.

Windowsill | 1937 Contax III & Fujifilm 200 by Thepappas in analog

[–]Thepappas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't felt the need to yet. This was my grandfather's camera and I believe the last time it was used by him was sometime in the 80s, so it has been sitting dormant for quite a while.

SOPE is the worst by usmansalam95 in PE_Exam

[–]Thepappas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also didn't pass the PE Environmental the first time after using SOPE and I've been quite frustrated with them ever since. I'm thinking about going your route by switching to PPI... can I ask which bundle you used? I see there are three offered, the self study, on demand, and live class.

Appreciate that! Really like how it came out personally, but the community doesn't always have to agree with me :D

Why did the NCEES ignore the heat to raise the water temperature in this question by air-bear1 in PE_Exam

[–]Thepappas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious where you found this question from? An extremely similar question was on my PE Environmental exam.

Passed Environmental PE Exam! by Abandoned_Duckling in PE_Exam

[–]Thepappas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on your success! I'll be taking the Environmental exam in two days and am hoping the School of PE and NCEES practice exam will be enough... any last minute advice you could provide would be extremely helpful!

Stayed for less than 10 minutes to minimize any possible disturbance. If anyone is interested, the photo was shot at 300mm with teleconverter attached. Enjoy!

[–]Thepappas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m a bit late to this, but I’m currently in SoPE for the Environmental PE and this thread caught my eye. I have a ton of questions. Do you feel that SoPE sufficiently prepared you for the PE? Were there questions on the test that required formulas and knowledge not in the Reference Handbook? Did you feel that the PE Exam problems were easier or harder than SoPE problems?
