I used the CERM, which wasn't very helpful for the afternoon, and 2 Das books. I had the intro to geotech and the foundations book from Das. I could have used another reference too, but I just don't know what else is out there.

That and principles of foundation engineering is very good. If you know those two books, you do okay on the afternoon. It wouldn't hurt to have the Joseph E. Bowles foudation book either, which is very detailed. Good luck

I know I haven't passed yet but if you can remember to think like and engineer on the problems that you don't know and just don't panic with them, you should be okay. Obviously luck plays a large role in passing... meaning that hopefully what you study is on the test. I studied retaining walls and trench bracing out the wazoo and didn't see too much of that on the test this time. As they say, I can always take it again. Just know your resources, a civil engineering dictionary is a good idea. If you still live near your college you can usually check it out from the library for 30 days or so rather than buying one. Good luck boo.
