I am just finishing up my undergraduate degree in December, and I had to take an exam in April in regard to my major. It wasn't required, but I took it because it will aid me in furthering my career. The exam was called the FE exam. FE stands for Fundamentals of Engineering. I just found out that I passed the test today, so I'm really happy about the news. The FE exam is the first step toward becoming a Professional Engineer. Once I get my degree I will be an EIT, Engineer in Training, because I will have a certificate saying that I passed the FE exam. After 4 or 5 years of work experience after becoming an EIT I will then have to take the PE exam, Principles and Practice of Engineer, to become a Professional Engineer. That just means that I get the title of PE after my name, and it allows me to review and stamp drawings, etc. It's like having MD after your name if you're a Doctor.

Anyway, I was just curious if anyone else has had to take exams toward the end of their undergraduate education in regard to their degree? I know that there's the GRE, which is required for getting into Grad school, but there are other exams as well that some grad programs require. Also there are exams like the one I took that aren't required, but definitely encouraged. So what other tests to students with different majors have to take?
