I'll back up John Q there, I think the majority of the people on this tread took the EET class, together actually, and we passed.  we took the actual webinar vs the on-demand.  it's nice being able to ask the guys questions.

If i remember correctly, in my prep course, we always chose the conservative value as listed in the load chart. I know in the "real world", when planning a crane pick, you never interpolate the load chart.

yep, drank lots of beer the evening after the exam for a friend's birthday party. then slept basically the entire next day. then I spend the next 8 to 10 weeks hitting refresh...

I used Mark DeSantis's practice exam and some of his reference notes. I also took EET's prep course. EET help a ton. One thing that was also very helpful is organization, I learned it as a part of EET's class and learncivilengineering.com's study prep guide. Build a note book, tab it by...

Basically what everyone else said. The easiest depth will be the depth you have the most experience. Construction was easiest for me because I've been in construction management since I graduated college in 2003. I work for contractors so I have very limited structural design experience but a...

If I remember correctly, the problems will refer to the specification to be used for answering the problem, for example "according to ACI-347, blah blah blah..." As for the pressure calculations and limits, the problems are setup to push you towards the ACI formulas.

Agreed, I took EET's breadth and construction depth with the other two guys posting here. I mostly used the EET reference binders they mailed and built a breadth and depth binder of my own that I put all my solved problems in and cheat sheets. I also had CERM, steel manual, OSHA manual, and...

I believe it has to do mostly with litigation. If a building / balcony / elevated walkway fails, there needs to be an explanation. If there's no "license" to prove that engineer has been tested by the state, how can the engineer be released of liability. Many states have many different...

My name finally posted up on a search in Washington state. Haven't received anything by email or mail.

Speaking from experience, since I'm one of the construction dummies, while sometimes it's difficult to put in 12 hours a day and then come home and study for another 2 hours, the motivated guys will pass. What I noticed from the exam is a lot of engineers taking the construction exam are in...

which afternoon test did you take?

Ha yeah! I remember that! Congrats to you too! Samir sent an email to 6 of us from the construction group. I don't remember how many total were in the class, but of course that might have been the only ones who have emailed him. He was the second person I told after my wife! ha.

I will verify Jun's comments. I took the breadth and construction depth classes from EET and passed first try. I've been working in the construction industry for 12 years and came across several questions I wouldn't have been able to answer had I not taken this class. Being able to ask a...

I passed Construction PE first time on the April exam. I studied closer to 200 hours and I couldn't even tell you how many problems I worked. I agree with ConstEng00 regarding the ACI SP4, I grabbed that book from the office and almost didn't pack it, thankfully I did, it helped me with about...

If you didn't take a prep course, I'd recommend taking one through EET. www.eet-california.com. They have a really good morning and afternoon prep class, I couldn't have passed the civil construction without them.

Thanks! I'm relieved they finally posted the results, I can finally stop hitting refresh on the NCEES website... and rather pumped I passed too.

Washington results are in...I passed

I was sold that line "engineers make the big bucks"...here i am 12 years later still chasing the small bucks! ha. oh well, building cool **** is fun!
