    Re: Reviewing References

    I think the best way to attack the broad aspect of this exam is to do as many problems as you can and try and use your references if needed for further problem solving or clarification. I think this method will get you into the mindset of how the exam process will be and will maximize your study...

    Landfill design textbook?

    I also concur w/ the advice above...i dont remember a question like that being asked on the exam, however, being the exam is so broad it doesnt hurt to do a quick google search and find the appropriate 40 CFR that talks about that stuff and print out the applicable section. I remember going...

    Moonlighting/Charitable work w/ PE license

    I was curious if anyone out there does any moonlighting or volunteer type work w/ their PE license in the Environmental field. If so I would be curious to know what types of projects, non profits, etc you get involved in. Just thought it might be interesting to see what others are doing out...

    Practice Problems - which ones?

    I bit the bullet on the 6th edition of Salvato and glad i did because i feel it may have pushed me over just enough to pass. The Salvato book is fantastic for those odd qualitative or sampling type problems. If you can find the 5th edition great, but the 6th isnt too bad w/ it broken up into...

    Practice Problems - which ones?

    Just my opinion but these would be my top choices for problems: 1. NCESS Environmental Practice Problems (if you can also get a hold of the older exam that would be good...but there is a lot of overlap). Most realistic problems. 2. Sovled problems by Schneiter. Already incorporates alot of the...

The end of the book has about 20 something PE practice problems that I found useful. Other books that I was able to use for answering some air questions included the Salvato...

    Recommendation for online study course?

    To be honest...I wouldnt recommend spending any money on an online review course. I took the University of Del review course and thought it was the biggest waste of money. I was lucky enough to pass the Environmental PE on my first go round, but I dont believe it was due to that course at all...

    April 2012 - what did you think?

    It's good to hear someone else felt exactly the same way I did. The morning felt pretty good mostly straight forward if you knew what they were asking for. I was able to get through the morning exam in about 2 hours, take a bathroom break, and go back through and check my work. I ended up...
