If you are looking to learn a topic or gain an additional insight, I would recommend Hoel & Garber's book. I did not have this book when I took the test. I bought this book prior to taking my PTOE exam and found it useful. If you can get a hold of this book then great, if not, you will do just fine.

Ofcourse, you can always do some extra practice problems from this book. Who knows one of the problems may show up on the test, if you know what I mean!!

Good luck.

What do you recommend other than this book to study and practice for the trans depth?

Do you have the Garber instructor manual with solved probs book?

thanks.

I did take Transportation Depth. I had joined a review course offered by School of PE and they had provided great notes as well as problems. Apart from that, I had solved 6-minutes solutions problems and NCEES Sample Q&A.

I do not have the instructor manual.

Vishal,

Thanks again. I alredy finished School of PE, 6-minutes solutions problems and NCEES Sample Q&A. I am really worried about the exam.

I am now doing extra probs from Companion of CERM- practice prob book, civil pe examination book,etc. Do you recommend anything else to preapre for trans pm?

What about manuals? Should I go thru all the manuals listed in NCEES. Its really verryyyyy time consuming process to go thru HCM, AASHTO, ROADSIDE DESIGN GUIDE,ETC.

Please advise.

If you have studied what you have mentioned then I think that you should not worry about the exam. Make sure that you stay fresh and continue to solve the problems. Tab your references and make sure that you know where to look for a given problem.

If you can solve all the problems that you have encountered (SPE, 6-minutes, NCEES Sample) using the reference books then I won't worry about going thru all the manuals cover to cover. Still, make sure that you know which manual contains what topic so that you know where to look at. I am not saying that you will encounter only what you have practiced but if you have practiced enough then the chances are, you will know which reference to look for.

Don't sweat and don't ignore other topics.

Good luck.
