    do I need code for strucuture AM questions?

    And if you do get a question that makes it seem like you have to reference some random code, re-read the question because sometimes the answer to these questions is obvious without searching through any codes ;) As stated above, a little logic can go a long way towards a correct answer when...

    Which state is the best to take the PE exam?

    I will say this about Nevada: There are NO solutions manuals (including 6 minute solutions and NCEES solutions allowed in the testing site). That was a major bummer to find out just a month before the exam! Other than that, I think Nevada is a great place to take the exam. Come out to Reno...

    Friday the 13th and pre letter opening rituals

    I opened my letter more than 48 hours after receiving it. My father (who is a nosy, critical, pessimist) brought the letter over from our family's PO box. I put the letter in a drawer because I suspected it was a failure notice and I had not been expecting it to come so soon. A few hours...

    Study Aids

    Hey all, Studying for long hours at a time can get pretty boring. I was studying upwards of 8 hours a day (I quit my job to take this exam) and I did not do all 8 in a row. I broke it up with trips to the kitchen or to go out and get some exercise at the gym. I also watched films while I...

    Reno, Nevada, USA

    Hey all, I'm located in Reno, Nevada at the transition between the high-desert of the Great Basin and the forested peaks of the Sierra Nevada. I just passed the 2008 April Civil PE (Geotech depth) and will be looking for work in the area again soon (after August to be specific). I took time...

    How much is too much study/reference material?

    I agree Sraymond. I took the Geotech depth which the CERM is just about useless for. CERM has lots of great Water Resources information and maybe if I were preparing for WR/Enviro I would have a different attitude on reference materials. Sorry to all for the previous blanket statement...

    PM Geotech

    Hello, I passed the 2008 April Civil Geotech depth to my surprise. I was demoralized and thought for sure I had failed since I ran out of time and had to flat out guess on about 8 problems :( If you are still deciding between depth modules, I recommend Water/Enviro. Geotech is full of...

    Geo-tech Advice

    Hello, I passed the 2008 April Civil Geotech depth and found Das Fundamentals of Geotech engineering to be very very helpful. In addition to that, I became a community borrower and raided the univeristy's engineering library for texts on everything not covered in Das. Here's the list of...

    How many Study Hours are you up to?

    I studied from January 5th through April 9th starting with about 20 hours per week and gradually ramping that up to I think about 60+ hours the last two weeks (NOT exaggerating, I got caught with my pants down RE the difficulty of Geotech depth and had to get through the entire DAS book in two...

    How much is too much study/reference material?

    Hi all, I passed the 2008 April Civil PE (Geotech depth) thanks to the wealth of references I brought in with me. For Breadth, you only need the CERM and, until the CERM gets updated, a few construction texts. Don't worry about crib sheets or lots of tabs. Just make notes in the CERM, note...
