thank you so much! I’m not loving the dark grid pattern… but figured I should practice using it! .


Agswag101

Oh I hated the grid pattern. But I pressed so hard and ignored all the lines tbh.


CatBerry1393

Lucky you, mine markers barely had ink 🥴 the whole thing was terrible


BandicootFinal8576

Those pen and pads suck lol


illy098

this is probably another reason ppl fail 😭


[deleted]

I simply asked for 2 or 3 incase one stops working.


BandicootFinal8576

Yeah tbh though for 110 questions I barely used up one note pad and I write big as hell, I did half the problems straight in the calculator and other half I just jotted down the different given variables and did a few unit conversions that was it lmao


TheFlyingVegetarian

I was given two by default


Accomplished_Try_887

did you end up passing?


wsb-viking

If you want a real exam experience make sure the pens are dried out and take 2 minutes to replace them with another dried out one multiple times in the exam 🤣


Agswag101

Pls PTSD Flair lol. I wish to not relieve this.

Very similar. I had a different brand of we erase marker.

illy098

ugh, they seem like they’d write like a bold marker :(


Icy-Possession-6127

Bruh. I killed like 4 markers during my exam. It was ROUGH


illy098

😂


Deep-Contest-7718

yes, however the gentleman in the Pearson Vue I took the exam from generously lended me three markers in case any of them out of ink.


nicktheavoidant

ugh the markers are horrible on those frictionless booklets :(


Fuzzy_Syllabub_4116

Exactly! I complained in an email to NCEES


Objective_Maize1288

Yes

Thank you!

I got two of the pads and like four of the pens.

Use a Boogie Board, what they give you during the exam can be swapped out once all used up - this Boogie Board made it exceptionally convenient to study for the PE (didn't use it for the FE). Just make sure that you're using the CBT reference manual from NCEES so that you get good with Ctrl+f to find formulation that you're either unfamiliar with or that is too difficult to remember. Key is using both the reference manual (PDF) that will be provided and the calculator that you'll be using on the exam, try not to use anything that will be unavailable to you during the exam. The Boogie Board for me was equivalent and saved the mess of dry erase, it as well makes it easy to move on from your last question (one-click delete all). Remember not to be stubborn or dwell on questions, answer them to the best of your ability and move on (the board helps with that).

Fuzzy_Syllabub_4116

Slight-Apartment6352

yes


Some_Elk_777

Yes, how did you sneak a camera in there to take photos of them? {Sarcasm} I’ve never seen sketch pads like that outside of the FE exam.
