Mark, yes I did use the IHMM as a reference for the PE exam. As I recall I used it to confirm my answer for a non-quantitative question. I took more books than I needed for the exam but I was familiar with them and it comforted me having them near lol!.

I passed in December 2011 but it took until now to get a promotion. I had to wait until there was an opening.at my office and go through an interview process. No easy promotion but its a 20% raise and 3 yearly promotions from there. The PE certification is worth it! I was waiting so long I...

I used the books during my studies and tagged key equations. I familiarized myself with the general content of the chapters as I encountered difficult problems, then tagged each chapter before the test for quick reference. While I tagged Salvato chapters,because it is so dense with materials...

I agree VT, you don't need to do all the problems if you understand the concepts. I only did a handful of the EERM practice problems but I did all the Environmental Solved Problems. Some chapters where I found I was weak, I did multiple times until I fully understood the concepts and subtleties...

Peacock, think you have an excellent list of reference books. I agree with VT that older editions of NCEES practice exams is good to get a hold of. FYI I found a PDF copy of the 5th edition Salvato online by doing a Google Sucks search when I was studying for the exam. I don't have the link...

Use them all as necessary for reference when you try to solve ALL the problems. If you have problems in certain areas, research and study the specifics with the references. Search the board for recommended texts (I must have searched every Env topic on this board prior to the exam). I used...

As I understand, D: 101 Solved Problems is an older edition of C: Environmental Solved Problems. Focus on all problems and you wont have a problem with unexpected problems during the exam. Repeat as often as necessary. I repeated until I almost memorized them. The EERM practice problems were...

Take time to explore the site and read the posts of test takers past. This site is awesome and full of useful gems. Use their advice.

PPI exam cafe is a good training. I thought the problems were tougher than the exam but good preparation. Don't let it get you down. Persistence is key to bring familiarity. I also liked EITexperts.com for their clarity in lecture but exam cafe is good for practice. Use the reference manual...

Snickerd is right,LOL! Its a tough wait but worth it in the end. My emotions and confidence ran wild untill the results were posted. Its a right of passage that can help tell you a bit about yourself. Try to observe yourself and learn from it. I occupied myself with social activities by...

The University of Oklahoma has a pretty good FE review website. You can find it here: http://www.feexam.ou.edu/

I agree with the above post but would also suggest reviewing a good "introduction to environmental engineerig" textbook. The NCEES and Naimpally books were good but didnt cover the entire range of possible questions. All that aside, even if you only used NCEES and Naimpallys books, study hard...

I agree Dleg. As a public employee, salaries are entirely public information and easily searched on the net. All this aside, here is an article that says 75K indeed does buy happiness. Something to think about for those seeking thier pot o' gold...

I know they are out there, they most likely don't frequent a sight for new and aspiring PE's thought... Here is a link I found to search federal employee salaries. This is the result page after search parameter : environmental engineer...
