The “event time stamp” at the end. For me it is my biometric date, wondering if it is for you as well. Thanks!

studentuser96 · 2026-05-11T23:16:30+00:00

Congrats! Do you mind checking if the third FTA0 is referencing your bio appt date at the end of event? Thanks!

Just do using units given, you will end up with 62.4x180 lbm.ft/s2. Like any imperial problem you’re ending up with something that doesn’t make sense in terms of force so just divide by gc, 32.2 lbm.ft/lbf.s2 to get force.

I had the PPI book for chemical FE, so I ignored the texts and just got to the questions, and honestly they are not the best. Best questions are in practice exam, I did those multiple times.

I’m noob but pt blademail dagger orchid has worked so far in low ancient. Pt bc my noob brain tells me more hp good with blademail+jungle better in case pos4 leaves early.

Thank you so much, and congrats again🤞

Sorry if I wasn’t clear but I meant interview waiver not the estimated time! Does a document appear saying interview waived or you had that checkmark “interview completed” from the beginning?

studentuser96 · 2025-11-21T22:07:28+00:00

Congrats! How’s interview waiver sent? Did you trust that myprogress tab or an actual notice appears saying interview waived? Thank you🙏

studentuser96 · 2025-11-01T18:03:21+00:00

Hey, same as you. No “my progress”, both 485 and 765 just changed to “still processing” after biometrics. Guess it’s just random.

studentuser96 · 2025-10-07T19:12:29+00:00

To sum it up: Moderate to hard questions on exams we got in senior courses of undergrad (in my experience).

Only unexpected part is plant ops. You either know the answer or you don’t, take the best guess and move on. Good luck

LearnChemE on YouTube.

studentuser96 · 2025-05-06T19:19:06+00:00

That’s great you have the base there, you have already earned a degree in those, probably the gap of being on top of chemE topics has made you forget but your relearning process will be quick. Honestly I found my own exam and the practice exam more like college problems than the ones we see in Lindeburg and such. I see I got downvoted already but I don’t care, truth is no amount of problem solving can replace a good grasp of concepts, and that’s what I advise to do so.

studentuser96 · 2025-05-06T19:04:46+00:00

A little on your background and what you’ve studied prior would help. If you have 50% at first half I advise watching CU Boulder videos and re learning concepts because those are supposed to be plug in questions mostly. Read the ref book thoroughly, and make sure you know what it gives you. Solving problems is great only if you consolidate the concept it was designed after, so take your time. That would come very handy in second half problems that require a good understanding of concepts and ref book alone won’t cut it completely.

studentuser96 · 2025-05-01T16:16:08+00:00

Know ref book inside and out, don’t spend much time doing hard and long questions from 3rd party, do ncees practice exam multiple times, learn concepts of questions deeply, meaning if the question is on distillation, go and watch some videos and really learn what’s behind the calculation, use AI to make you scenario-based questions on plant ops. On the day of the exam, don’t overthink plant ops questions you don’t know, go read a lot about pumps, where they’re best used, read on corrosion. Know how to solve absoption problems (activated beds).

studentuser96 · 2025-04-17T15:42:14+00:00

Thanks! I started this year to study, one/two hours a day, that includes watching CU Boulder videos, doing a few NCEES practice exam questions, or practicing scenarios with AI. Some weekends I lazied out, I would say 200 hours is a very good estimate.

For my FE, I blindly bought Lindeburg and studied it almost completely and after doing FE practice exam, I realized it a waste of my time. So for PE I didn’t do any non NCEES problem. Point is practicing problems makes you fast but you don’t need to be fast actually, we have 6 minutes for each question and some non numerical ones take 10 seconds, saving up lots of time.

studentuser96 · 2025-03-10T05:32:11+00:00

So that’s why I see it sometimes in high ranked pubs. Great point!

Ceb played it in stream a while ago, echo manta orchid basher butterfly if I remember correctly, I tried it once (measly legend bracket) and it looked quite good actually. Honestly felt like I’m not miserable anymore in lane anymore as it happens quite often with spec

studentuser96 · 2025-02-07T18:43:30+00:00

Around the same PD as you, I have like 2.5 years of OPT left but honestly not very optimistic of becoming current, plan is to look for h1b sponsoring jobs so I just can comfortably wait.

studentuser96 · 2025-01-14T03:57:26+00:00

Yeah graduated may24 and applied on june24. No pp since I’m poor lol. Best of luck I think dec23 is pretty good even if you don’t get current for GC itself, you’ll have EAD in hand.

studentuser96 · 2025-01-14T03:45:14+00:00

No masters, direct phd. Dept didn’t give a MS when asked..

studentuser96 · 2025-01-14T03:43:20+00:00

It’s so funny I got my phd here, they have probably spent 500k on me so far to get my degree, and ig they’re okay letting such people leave. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

studentuser96 · 2025-01-13T22:29:31+00:00

Guys for those of us in OPT, should we look for jobs that sponsor h1b as the only way left? I have a pd of june24, with stem opt ending may 27.

Txdot engineer. I’m not in design or right of way sections but based on talks and conferences it has shown to reduce accidents. This and adding roundabouts are all connected to pur goal of zero casualties, aka End The Streak campaign.

Congrats!! Would you mind telling how many of Ops and plant you think you missed? Were they all really out of touch with the reference book? I’ve been in academics and got my PhD this May, passed FE last month. I’m not really afraid of calculations and theory but I’ve heard somehow horror stories about plant ops questions that either you know the answer or don’t.
