I want to begin this post by saying that no matter the exam's outcome, you are still a great engineer. I have been stressing over this exam for years leading to the actual exam (and a lot more in the months and weeks before), but the reality is that no matter the outcome, I will still work as an engineer. I know many people who have not passed their first try and are still great engineers. Don't stress about it. I plan to release a few more podcast episodes about this topic in the future, but this one is just a broad overview of my experience preparing for and taking the PE exam. It was not an easy exam, but if you prepare correctly, you will set yourself up for success. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions about the exam.
