Guys, people say (forums) that one has to bring a complete "library".

This is what I have so far:

- CERM 9th Edition

- Will buy used the following this weekend:

- Six-Minute Solutions - Transportation

- NCEES Trasportation Sample questions & SOlutions

- Practice Problems for the CE PE Exam 11th edition, Lindeburg

What other books do you recommend? also What codes do I need for the exam?

thanks.

You might want to update your CERM. What I studied from and had with me during the exam was: CERM (10th), All-In-One, RDG, PGDHS, MUTCD and (what you didn't mention), the HCM. See the NCEES website for the latest editions. I also studied with the Transpo 6-Min Solutions (which took me 20 minutes each - lol), Goswami's Transpo sample exams and the NCEES Transpo practice exam. I didn't have the handbooks, trip generation, etc. you mentioned. Good luck.

NCEES will list the full recommended but the books I used the most of the Transportation depth were the HCM, Roadside Design Manual, MUTCD and somewhat the CERM 11.
