cong! I heard some people took the PE exam even when they were still in the PhD program. Any trick about doing that? The state I'm working in says that 4 years experience is required to be eligible for taking PE. PHD education might be substituted for 2 years. That means still 2 years to go for fresh graduates, as I understand. Which state is not that strict about the eligibility of taking PE? Is it permissible to take PE in a state that's different that the one you are currently working in?
