I passed the Oct 2017 civil-construction depth exam (2nd attempt) after being out of school for many, many years.  I'm 57 years old so don't let age dissuade you.  Here was my strategy after failing the first attempt:   Review Courses: The Ultimate Civil PE Review Course and EET's...

I was fortunate and passed this second attempt at construction depth.  After my first attempt last April, I considered switching depth sections - I'm glad I didn't. Build upon what you have learned.  My prep included EET depth and breadth on-demand sessions and the on-demand Ultimate Civil...

Excellent!  I wish you the very best.  Maybe we will hear in a couple of weeks.

As good as EET is, they can't cover everything.  In addition to EET last April, I also took The Ultimate Civil Engineer PE Review by Isaac.  He doesn't get into theory much - it's more of practice problems - tons of them and a couple of great practice exams, and it helped very much.  Some of the...

That's a very tough question, as the NCEES scoring policy seems complicated and really involved, with stats people and testing professionals analyzing results.  I am fairly confident I got 60/80 for sure, and hopefully guessed at least 25% of the rest correctly.

Agree 100% - this exam was more straightforward.  Additionally, EET was great.  I wonder if the very low percentage of persons passing construction depth in the past (usually the lowest % of any discipline) prompted NCEES to review the difficulty level?

In April, they had results out after only 4 weeks.

I thought this exam (my second attempt) was easier than the April exam.  I can't giv away specifics about the exam due to NCEES rules, but I'm kicking myself for missing some word/theory/basic knowledge problems that I later found in my references - ugh.... And you are correct, there were some...

Thank you for the advice.  My first attempt in April ended badly, getting only 50/80 correct.  It is discouraging but time to get in the right frame of mind for the October exam. 

Thank you folks very much!

Congratulations on passing.  I took EET's breadth and depth review (on-demand) but unfortunately I did not pass.  What caught me off guard was how many questions and topics were not on the afternoon exam, things that were covered heavily by EET and other review/practice books I studied.  On my...

Thank you very much.  I appreciate your thoughts and advice.  I really enjoyed EET's review (and the great binder).  I plan on using my NCEES diagnostic report to address my weak areas, and I will buy more practice problems to perhaps be introduced to more possible questions and topics.  Thanks...

I went through the EET breadth and construction depth review on this first attempt and failed (50/80).   I also worked practice exams for breadth and depth from four other books outside of EET.   It was clear from my diagnostics report that EET was very helpful to me and I would have scored much...

Hi.  I am sorry you did not pass this time around.  It is definitely a bad feeling and I am quite disappointed in my performance, especially considering how much time and effort I put into preparing through EET's review.  I also bought four other review books containing practice tests for both...

Congratulations to all who passed.  Unfortunately, I did not pass the Construction PE. 

I felt the morning session went relatively well.  However, the afternoon construction depth surprised me in terms of what was not covered and the inclusion of a couple of odd questions.   Oh well, it's time to wait.  Best of luck to everyone out there who are awaiting results.   By the way, my...

Hi everyone:  I took the Civil PE several years ago.  At that time, the breadth section included questions regarding wastewater and water treatment and processes such as determining BOD and hardness.  However, in my current review course for civil - construction depth, and in the NCEES civil PE...
