I suspect they are all very similar. I took the School of PE this winter and it was a good class (I did pass the PE). The School of PE does an outstanding job of preparing you for the morning portion. The afternoon portion will still require some independant study on your own. When I was...

I go back and forth in my mind about what I should ask my employer for in terms of a raise for passing the PE Exam. I presume my employer is one of the few (maybe the only) that will not pay for the continuing education classes/workshops required to maintian the license nor will they pay the...

I wonder how much time this will really shave off our wait? Iowa has historically been around 80+ days in returning exam results...Does this mean we will get results in maybe 77 or 78 days now?

It's funny that there are alot of other 'School of PE'ers" in here! I was trying to be politically correct with my earlier assesment of the School of PE, but it seems we are all in agreement. The structural classes were just plain awful - too elementary in difficulty, poorly organized, spent...

I took the Civil/Structural. Thought the AM portion was mostly pretty easy. The PM portion I would rate as 'medium'. I did do the 'School of PE' and can say that I feel it prepared me very well for the AM portion (School of PE left alot to be desired for the structural PM though). I'm...

I found the ACI reference problem 508 uses to solve the problem. (I only have the ACI 318-08, so section #'s may be different). The solution for 508 uses center to center spacing becasue of ACI section 8.9 Span length. Paragraph 8.9.2 says 'continuous construction for determination of...

Another problem on the Structural sample exam that I haven't 100% figured out. # 528. This is a question showing a steel angle fastened on one leg to concrete with a expansion anchor. The other leg supports a point load P. You are to assume the anchor bolt is sufficient and the concrete is...

I was wondering the very same thing on question 508. I think it is a example of a very poorly worded problem on an exam (The test witer realy should have provided a diagram for this question). I'm in agreement with you that the CLEAR span should have been used for the calculation and the...

I plan on taking the April PE as well. I'm in Ankeny. I have heard of the IDOT PE reivew, but know very little about it. So with those dates you've given, are you supposed to attend every day listed? Or select one day from each of those weeks? I ask becasue, my employer is...

Thanks kengineer! I'm also going to be going the Civil exam with structural depth. Let me ask your thoughts on this...At my job, we do typical building design. So I have been exposed to much structural steel design, timber design, and reinforced concrete design as it pertains to foundations...

Is that live webinar for the depth portion included with your refresher/workshop fee? Or is it an additonal fee? You mention that you don't think the class alone is enough to soley rely on for test preparation - does that statement still hold true if you also go through the depth webinar? Thanks!
