Bringing back an old thread for April 09' Civil PE Exam.
1. Was this your first time taking the exam?
2. How much did you study or prepare for the exam?
3. What did you think of the morning?
4. What depth did you take and how would you judge the difficulty?
5. Do you think you passed?
My answers:
1. First Time
2. I started studying mid January. Studied an average of 2 nights during the week for about 2 hours per session and studied 10-12 hours average every weekend up until the exam. I took off the last week to organize my notes and thoughts.
3. I thought it had some curve balls thrown in with it. It was more difficult that I thought it would be. Thought a couple of the questions were a little unfair because of the references required to answer them.
4. Construction Depth. I thought it was very difficult. It was time consuming and very in depth. The questions were a lot more difficult that I thought they would be or prepared for. We need some good study books on the market to reflect the difficulty of the afternoon construction exam.
5. If I was a betting man I would bet I failed it. Its going to be a long 8 weeks. I should have taken the transportation PM module (I guess). Construction PM kicked my tail!
