Problems at Pearson Vue

NCEES is going to Pearson Vue for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam starting in January. What scares me about that is their manual will also be used (not paper, a searchable feature of the exam).

Having taken PV exams when details/plans/charts are involved, I have found it tough to maneuver.

Having said that.. I took the FE exam last month (because I need it to register my PE license in some jurisdictions).. it was the last time the paper/pencil option is available. It's a tough test and I'm not sure PV is up to the challenge.. especially with the on line handbook.
