In California when I took the EIT, all they asked for was money. Did not
have to show a diploma, transcripts. They then sent me the EIT certificate
after taking the test. And 30 years later, I am still an engineer, and
never worked in an industry that required P.E.

How many times did it take you to pass the EIT exam?

One.

How many times did it
take you to pass the PE exam?

One. The company I worked for at the time never had anybody take the
PE twice.

And depending on your age, etc, you do not
need 4 years as an EIT.

Bull****. State of GA, 4 years. Period. State of N.Y. 4 years, period.

Does not even require a college degree to sit for
either test.

If you don't have a degree, then you have to have a MINIMUM 8 years
engineering experience. Then you need to work as an EIT for SEVEN
years.
