I took and passed the exam in April, Civil Breadth, Transportation Depth
As I recall, I utilized the following to get ready for the morning section:
CERM 12 & CERM 13
I utilized Michael Lindburg’s Civil Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam as my main resource. There were some major source changes between 12 and 13 but I found that most instances where I was referencing a table to gather a number were from my more specialized source books. I believe the only additional section to the CERM 13 was a part about Painting Highway Bridges—so if you’re not taking the Transportation depth section of the PE exam, I wouldn’t worry about it.
I started studying with the CERM 12, which I purchased in Fall 2012—when I had good intentions to study all winter. I did study on and off, but ended up taking a review course in which the CERM 13 was included as a course material. I found this to be an excellent reference and am happy to have it in my professional library. Online, you can print a copy of the index—not having to flip through a 4” thick book saves more time than you can imagine.
Practice Problems for the Civil Engineering PE Exam: A Companion to the Civil Engineering Reference Manual (CEPP13)
PE Civil: Transportation Sample Questions and Solutions (NCEES)
Quick Reference for the Civil Engineering PE Exam (CEQR7)
Civil PE Sample Examination (CE SX4)
I reviewed the rest of them here:
