There are a couple of ways that an employer can pay for any of the PE Review courses. The easiest would be to have your employer simply sign up as the employee and pay with a credit card as any other subscriber would.
If an employer would rather be invoiced, then here are the steps to follow:
- Send me an e-mail with your employers address details.
- Go to PeReview.net and ’sign up’, just like a regular subscriber, except you leave out the credit card part.
- We will invoice your employer by e-mail.
- As soon as we receive a confirmation of receipt of the invoice and e-mail commitment to pay, we will open your subscriptions.

Go to the pereview.net home page and click on the tab “STORE” on the top of the page. It will take you to a set of materials useful for the PE exam. Click on “Permissible Calculators” (on the left under ‘powered by Amazon’). You’ll see all of the permissible calculators. We like the HP calculators the best because of their ‘feel’. They are the most robust calculators on the market. The best one is the HP 33S which can be pre-programmed to a limited but permissible level.

Most states permit three-ring binders with notes. Some do not allow collections of solved problems. Some allow only textbooks and standard reference handbooks. Contact your state board for details. NCEES has an approved list of calculators and candidates must use a calculator from the approved list. Their current list can be found at: http://www.ncees.org/news/index.php?release_id=44
