MPEP-E38: How Andrew Turned a PE Exam Setback into a Major Comeback

In this episode, I talk with Andrew Gleason, a mechanical engineer who recently passed the PE exam in New York after an inspiring comeback. Andrew shares how he balanced a demanding work schedule, coaching hockey, and personal travel while refining his study strategy after an initial setback. He opens up about what changed the second time around — from daily repetition and focused problem-solving to clearing his schedule for an all-out final push. In this conversation, we unpack the mental side of preparing for the PE, how to handle failure without losing momentum, and what it feels like when everything finally clicks on exam day.
