I have the NCEES-required "CMWB" Standard Practice for Bracing Masonry Walls Under Construction book.  On their site it is $85 plus shipping, unless you're a member of the council and then it's much cheaper.  I'll sell mine for $70 shipped.  I can guarantee you that this book is a necessity on...

I passed it on my 4th time.  First off, keep your head up and keep busting your butt.  You'll get it!  I didn't take EET so I can't speak to any of their materials, but I'd like to recommend a few resources that help tremendously with the construction depth exam.   1.  Goswami "All-In-One" exam...

ASCE membership was heavily discounted for college students when I was in school, and one of our professors offered anyone who signed up an automatic half-a-letter grade increase, so obviously I signed up.  That was 8 years ago and last year I ended up letting it lapse.  I thought I'd go in and...

Yep, looks like he was banned again and his eBay profile is gone too.  

Pretty sure this is a big no-no.  

I join forces with Nicholas Cage to steal the Liberty Bell penny from the pile because we believe it will lead to another treasure, and we replace the Liberty Bell penny with a replica pressed penny. There is now a single national monument pressed penny, one railway track pressed penny, and a...

This is a tradition at the college I attended as well.  Anyone senior who was about to graduate who wanted to go through the ceremony and receive a ring could sign up.  It was about an hour long.  Basically a few faculty spoke, then one of them talked about the history of the ceremony/ring, and...

The Office.  And before that:  The Office.

I started mine on 12/16 and the only thing left is for Indiana to verify my license.  Everything moved pretty quickly surprisingly.  All of my references were quick to sign off.  My supervisor verified my work experience yesterday afternoon and this morning NCEES marked that portion as approved...

Civil Engineering Academy's Ultimate Civil PE Review Course gets an A++++++ in my book.  They focus heavily on the breadth portion of the exam, but the course does include practice exams and video problems for all of the depth options as well.  It's an affordable course too.  Check them out.

Civil Engineering Academy's Ultimate Civil PE Review Course I haven't seen much mention of this course on the forums so I thought I would share some information for those who are preparing for the Civil PE Exam.  I passed the October 2019 Civil Construction exam on my 4th go-around and I credit...

The construction exam is as brutal as they say it is.  Trust me, I took it 4 times before finally passing.  The thing is, if construction is what you know best then you're probably best sticking with that when choosing the exam you'll take.   As far as courses go, I was not a huge fan of...

Hey there, I'm also a fellow Hoosier and October 2019 exam destroyer.  It was hard, but well worth it!  That's what she said. Congrats! 💪

I can honestly say this is the one reference I never purchased for the exam.  I passed the October 2019 exam without it.  It's a very expensive book and is the ONLY reference I skipped purchasing.  Obviously I didn't need it.  I was able to answer all 40 PM questions without it.

I would definitely find a copy of "Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods" by Robert Peurifoy.  This was a college textbook for me and I brought it with me to the exam just in case it was useful.  It has step-by-step examples for various operations (dozers, graders, etc.).  This book...

It was my 4th and LAST time taking it.  PASSED!   Boom.  Roasted.

First off, an exam does not determine one's intelligence or ability to do one's job.  Just because you can't pass the PE doesn't mean you're a failed engineer.  You have to keep trying.  Perseverance is key.   Secondly, if you want the best chance of passing the exam you really need to shell...

Do you have all of the required reference materials called out in the NCEES exam guidelines for the Construction depth?  I can guarantee that having those books landed me an easy 12 questions on the exam in October. I highly recommend Civil Engineering Academy's "Ultimate Civil PE Review...
