In all honesty, I would expect it has something to do with Construction jobs being more mobile and less structured. When I studied, I would work my 730-430, come home and have the same routine on study nights. If I was working all day in the field, tired from being on my feet, I probably...

That doesn't mean Construction isn't the easiest...just means the people who take it might not be the smartest :popcorn:

To echo what someone else said, I absolutely do not regret over-studying. I found myself at work seeing how all the different parts of Civil Engineering fit within the projects I was working on. Even though I don't do geotech, I could start seeing the problems we should be looking for under...

First try, Water Resources Civil - Passed I basically started at the beginning of February. Started trying to work the CERM companion questions, found them to be way too hard and not worth the trouble. Purchased the All-in-One sample exams, the NCEES sample exam, and went through the notes...

I passed too! Kentucky is legit up

If you're going the self-studying option (and this is for October test takers as this thread has gone cold), I would suggest sticking to 6-minute solutions, the ncees practice test, and all-in-one sample exams. I bought the Lindbergh Practice Exam and the Water Resources Depth Practice Exam...

Do you have enough of a civil background to take the Civil FE? I know a lot of environmentals go on to do the Civil PE because it's more versatile and easier to get through.

I got to my hotel early Thursday night and had some dinner, sat down at the desk and thought I would work problems the rest of the evening. My brain just said nahhhh we aren't doing that and then it rewarded me by letting me go to sleep before 11.

I felt good about the Water Resources exam, which I was stressing over beforehand since I studied it in college but spent 3.5 years in the transportation world after graduation.
