There's aren't as many good references out there for the construction module. What I found useful was to just keep going back to the NCEES outline. Unlike other disciplines that offer review books that directly follow the test outline, I felt I had to find my own resources for each subject...

I took the exam in Albany. We had the same tables (8'X18") but we were all 2 to a table with about 2' in between tables. The worst part is that they only used half of the room and tables; there was more than enough room for everyone to have their own table. It seemed that they didn't employ...

VBinNC - When you say you failed with a 68 you mean 68% right? That would mean you scored about 54/80. Scared me a little because I know I didn't get 68 total questions correct. I think the morning was pretty straight forward. I went through and counted and feel like I got 29-32 correct. I...

Anyone know if the questions are asked in the same order as the NCEES outline? On the FE it seemed like the morning pretty much followed the outline but I can't remember the afternoon Civil. I ask because I know I'm stronger WR problems which would be last in the morning. Hence, I don't want...

I sent you the file via email. Let me know if you did not receive it. Good luck on the test.

Know your vertical and horizontal curves and that will get you pretty far. Brush up on surveying, I find that Transportation problems overlap quite a bit. Good Luck!

Hi Everyone, I'm currently a Civil Engineer with a strong background in building code reviews, means of egress reviews, exit enclosures.... etc..... Because of this, I would really like to learn more about fire suppression systems, fire rated construction and general fire safety as it pertains...

Looking at the NCEES outline I'm confused what's on the morning structural section. Is there any concrete / steel design? Is it along the lines of whats on the civil fe afternoon exam? i.e. it may ask how many #5 bars you need in a beam, or ask you what w10 shape is best for a loading...

I'm planning on taking the Civil PE in April. I'm thinking about going back to school for Fire Protection, as I work with a lot of building codes, egress issues and fire rated construction etc. It is my understanding that in order to work on federal fire protection jobs you need to also take...

I figure I'm about 75% done studying. I've spent the last 2 months reading the CERM, various test books and references. I'm going to spend the last 4 weeks doing practice problems, practice tests and tabbing/ noting my references. I started strong in Jan/ Feb but have slowed down recently. I...

I just completed my NYS PE application with 4 years experience. I divided up my 4 years of time with about 12 different project and some miscellaneous work. Here's the format I used: 1. Project #1 - Small Town, NY Project involved construction of 13,000sf hotel ... summary of project The...

This is an image from the NCEES website for the PE Exam. How pissed would you be if you were one of those lucky people in the sunny row. I might have nightmares between now and April 16th about this picture.

I got my letter on Saturday 1/8 as well. I passed! Five years out of school first try!

I'm expecting that NYS results for the FE won't be out until the second week of January. Has anyone heard anything? The farther out from the exam I get the less hope I have that I passed. I seriously think I only got about half the number of questions correct. In some cases I've heard this is...
