    ***What is your test taking strategy***

    Agree with the systems rating questions in order of difficulty, but I didn't go through them all that way, only used it to skip more difficult questions. Questions that seemed I could do fairly efficiently I just did right away. I was careful to pace myself, number of minutes per question, and...

    Goswami Errata?

    "so you thought you were supposed to divide by Volume, since the all in one had a V?" Heh, I don't actually remember, probably trying to back something out of one equation or another for a question I didn't understand.

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

    "For you guys that passed the WR/ENV exam with the Goswami book as a primary resource, how much tabbing did you do with your book, can you give me an idea of what pages you tabbed?" I didn't do all that much tabbing, I just counted 12 tabs. I mostly tabbed the sections in All-In-One which I...

    Overwhelmed

    CERM is overwhelming for many people, and the questions are far more complicated than they need to be for preparing. I ended up ditching it and using Goswami's All-In-One, along with the NCEES sample questions. When using CERM I frequently felt despair and my studying stalled.

    Goswami Errata?

    You can also download it in the amazon listing for the book, it's in the customer images: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/pr..._pdp_images_all It is small and a bit hard to read. I actually struggled on an exam question because I didn't have a print out of the errata, example 302.1 in...

    PENNSYLVANIA RESULTS - April '11

    I've read some old threads on here since posting my comment, it looks like they took the whole 90 days plus one time, and usually was in the 70+ days range. I wonder if it is related to when the state licensure board meets. I looked it up, I think they have a meeting July 20th. No, I'm not...

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

    Good point, that's what I did too. I used my other reference books while working through the Goswami book and the NCEES sample problems, tabbing them along the way. I used Goswami's book as my main reference during the exam, but frequently pulled out one of my other references.

    Lindberg/ppi sample exams

    Goswami's All-In-One and the NCEES sample problems were close to what were on the exam, for the most part. If anything, I thought the exam questions were easier. Totally agree about the Lindeberg sample problems. Way too hard, and I don't think that is a valuable way to spend your time...

    Success Strategy

    My thoughts on CERM exactly. I don't understand the number of people praising it either. I have written it off as people with different personalities benefiting from different resources, because it certainly didn't work for me. It seems it would tak way too much time to prepare, and I wonder if...

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

    Passed on first sitting (water resources/environmental) using this book as my primary study resource. Also worked through the NCEES sample problems, but found myself getting stuck too often, with the solutions not providing the level of detail I needed. And that is really all I used to prepare...

    Does anyone know how long it takes to complete licensure after notice of passing the exam? NCEES notice says, "The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will process your license within 90 days..."

    Success Strategy

    1. Put away Lindberg's books, which had me thoroughly discouraged. The problems were *so* much harder than the NCEES sample test, and I just do not have the amount of time in my life that working through his sample questions would require. 2. Worked NCEES sample test questions. 3. Worked...

    Reference Manual-Does it really matter?

    Good information about CERM. What about other reference materials? I am working through the NCEES sample questions, and the solutions of course reference a number of reference and code books, for example the Highway Capacity Manual. A number of these questions seem to require material that is...
