Pass the pe like a pro combines and compresses knowledge and data compiled during eight years researching for the best books reading forum posts talking with licensed engineers and even poring over reviews posted by successful and unsuccessful examinees. Nearly all the top engineers in their field most likely hold a pe license four years of study and nearly four years of work experience later a pe allows you to fully reap the benefits although earning the professional engineers stamp is a dream come true for many the road to getting there is not as easy. Unlike the fe exam the pe exam is open book but dont let that fool you into thinking the pe exam is easy what engineer doesnt like a challenge according to nspe about 26000 engineer interns take the pe exam every year and the pass rate is typically in the low 60s as a percentage.
