In short, the answer is now!
The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying® (NCEES) has just opened registration for the October 2013 PE exam.
A quick note, before you register for the exam with NCEES, you should first review your state’s registration process and register with your state to sit for the exam.
State regulations to take the exam can be very restrictive, so be sure to review them early to make sure my meet all the eligibility requirements. Also, don’t forget to register before the deadline! Nothing is more frustrating that starting to study for the PE exam early and then finding out your cannot take the exam because your application was rejected by either your State or NCEES. Our advice, double check everything during the registration process.
