This is just a random post but I wanted check up on the fellow members on how you guys are doing with less than a month before the exam. This is my second time taking it as I barely missed it the first time. I told myself I could either try and wing it for the Oct Exam or study my but off and change the way I was studying. I did the latter of the two. While I was taking the April Exam, I realized my study strategy was not that great.....I thought as long as I knew where the problems were and what sections to look up I would be fine. I did not do any sample exams and barely did problems without relying on the solutions.
Round two, when I got the fail notice I knew what I had to change and from then on I tried to do every problem as if it was an exam questions and it has been paying off. I bulked up on the resources getting the All in One PE Guide and the Traffic and Highway Engineering book by Harber and Goel. Both books I feel are worth Gold and I wish I had them the first time. After much practice, I feel I improved on my weak breadth areas especially my depth which I dedicated the most time too. I believe we are all capable of passing this test but its a matter of how much practice we put into it that will get us through. It is not a competition but a race we all must finish. If we didn't pass the first time, we didn't pass the finish line yet. Hopefully this October myself and all of you will finish Please feel free to chime in and good luck with your studying!
