    PE civil morning session

    Asphalt Design is more like a Transportation Depth topic. For the morning Transportation Breadth, I would only study traffic volume/speed/flow along with the obvious ones - vertical and horizontal curves.

    15 FE Exam Waiver

    I recommend against skipping the FE exam. If you have or can borrow the FE Review Manual by Lindeburg and a bit of time ( 1.5 hr/day for few months ) don't skip it. I never felt I wasted my time studying for the FE as it provided a natural refresher course for the PE morning portion. Being out...

    Trying to get boss to allow the same study opportunities as coworker

    Your situation was much better than mine. My firm doesn't pay anything - no references no classes. I borrowed a morning class binder from a coworker and studied on my own. But I will say this, I went for WRE depth instead of Structural even though I specialize in structural. I kept it realistic...

    Civil Construction PE Prep - Second Attempt

    I agree it's not easy to switch at this point.  Take some time off to clear your mind and then come back with a strong plan. You are not that far off you can definitely do this.

    Civil Construction PE Prep - Second Attempt

    Seems you used about the right method to study ! Your diagnostics indicate you struggled on construction related topics in the morning ( soil and structural mechanics can strongly relate to construction along with the obvious ones - project planning and means & methods ) and you didn't...

    Civil Construction PE Prep - Second Attempt

    What is your approach to study computational problems ? Do you actually try to solve practice problems on your own without looking at the solution until you finished ?

    Failed Oct 2018 PE Construction , its not over until I win .

    EET Breadth morning binder I had was excellent in hydraulics and hydrology and it became the main reason for my decision to go with WRE depth. My October 2018 morning exam was heavy on WRE topics too and I realized how helpful this class notes were. EET Breadth structural chapter was probably...

    Failing Blues - Advice/Recommendations?

    @MeowMeow I don't think you are not a good engineer, it just seems you did not prepare well for this savage exam. I'm afraid two months of studying and only on weekends/couple of weeknights is not enough, at least not for the Civil Structural. I would skip April 2020 and plan for October next...

    PE Exam April 2020, Preparation Courses

    I haven't tried School of PE but heard it was good for the morning. I had EET morning binder which was excellent. Check this link > www.eetusa.com The morning session difficulty can vary from easy (where only CERM should suffice) to hard (makes class notes a life saver).

    PE Exam April 2020, Preparation Courses

    They are sold separately for $550 each.  I only had the morning binder which was super helpful in the morning. I seriously doubt I would have made it without it back in October 2018. I studied on my own for my WRE Depth. I'm going to speculate wildly here for a trend I've noticed - morning...

    PE Exam April 2020, Preparation Courses

    I recommend EET course for both BREADTH and DEPTH portions of the exam.  It's worth mentioning that there is no DEPTH course that will fully prepare you for that portion of the exam but it's definitely better than studying on your own.

    October 2019 PE Exam - WRE

    Cut score can vary with each cycle and each discipline - I would think higher difficulty exams have lower cut score and vice versa.  If you did your part and studied hard and then at least tried solving most of the problems during the exam without significant number of guesses ( about 5 guesses...
