    Structural Depth Preparation

    For the afternoon, the difference between passing or not could easily be with how familiar you are with the codes. There were about 10 basic/simple questions that hinge completely on knowing where to find something in the codes. Before passing the test I would call them trick questions, after...

    hubby got results today

    Great news kathyj! Congrats to your husband and to you for sticking with him through it all! You may remember I was in a very similar situation (looking for a job, trying to pass the PE after a few attempts) last October, so I know what it must have been like for both of you. Luckily I found...

    Easy way to carry the Reference Material

    I had a haul through a large parking lot and an entire convention center. I packed all of my books in 2 of those rolling crates from Staples/Office Depot. Then I bought a dolly that converts into a flat hand truck from walmart. I loaded the 2 crates onto the hand truck side by side. It made...

    when to "quit" studying for exam?

    I took the day off before the exam and played some golf. Two days before I put all of my books away in the crates along with my calculators, batteries, straight edge, exam authorization, etc. If you don't feel like working problems go through the books you have and tab them up, or if you have...

    Best Books to Buy for Structural PM???

    Both the NDS and PCI codes have a lot of example problems that can be extremely helpful during the test and are the least expensive codes to acquire if you need to. The PCI even has shear wall distribution problems and some on prestressed beams. The NDS, once you take the time to understand...

    PE after name in academic work

    I'm on the fence on this, but I don't do it. I'm working on my Masters and all of my professors know I passed the test and they congratulated me on the achievement. If you are doing something that could be published, I would add it, otherwise, for day to day assignments I leave it off. The...

    Florida PE Numbers

    Got my number too. :party-smiley-048: They must have uploaded at midnight or someone in the State is working on a Saturday. It says it is effective today, 1/29. I checked last night and nothing. This morning, for some reason, I decided to check and there it was. The board prints the...

    Best civil prep course

    Hey rkelachim, No, a lack of bridge, precast and masonry experience won’t hurt you a whole lot. I’m not great in those subjects either. I’ll tell you what you’ll need to know and what to get. For Bridges, get the Structural Engineering Reference Manual, 4th Edition by PPI. It has enough to...

    AASHTO Bridge Code for PE

    I have a barely used copy of the AASHTO Bridge Code for the PE. I have some highlights and notes on some of the pages, but for the most part its clean. Selling for $150 plus your preferred method of shipping.

    Best civil prep course

    I did the School of PE as well, and passed the first try after taking it. The live webinar for depth is included with the cost. You are still going to need to study more than what this class can offer, especially the depth portion. You will be wasting your time and money if you don’t. This...

    Civil-structural NCEES practice test

    I would say the difficulty level is probably about the same on average. On the real test there will be some afternoon questions that you can solve within a minute and almost be afraid it was that easy. Others take a bit more brain power or searching in the codes, but can be done. On the...

    All-in-One Civil PE Exam Guide by Indranil Goswami

    The Goswami book is definitely worth getting, but like anything it has plusses and minuses. I actually like the format of this book a lot more than the CERM, but Goswami does lack depth The CERM is such a busy, cluttered format its sometimes difficult to find exactly what you are looking for...

    Structural or Civil?

    I took my last Civil class 10 years ago, which really so long ago it doesn’t count. I didn’t remember any of it. I was worried and stubborn about switching from pure structural to a Civil-Structural exam. Learning the Civil stuff isn’t all that bad, but for me a refresher course helped a...
