Great suggestion. Also, if I may add, figure out how much time you will be able to devote to preparing for the exam and make a schedule so that you can follow it rigorously. In general, it takes about 250-300 hours of total prep time for the NCEES PE exams for Civil. That should give you a ball...

I remember we got copies of the relevant tables from ASCE and IBC/CBC. I can't remember if I needed anything more. I don't believe there were any questions in the test that made me say... darn it, I should have bought the ASCE and IBC codes. Everything that I needed was covered in the notes and...

Ohhhhh... good for him.

Two locations within the San Diego City limits showed up when I did a search. Pearson Professional Centers-San Diego CA 3838 Camino Del Rio N Suite 205 San Diego, California 92108 United States  Pearson Professional Centers-San Diego (North) CA 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court Suite 463 Sunroad...

In California, in addition to the Civil NCEES PE exam, you will have to take the Surveying and the Seismic exams. The Seismic portion should be relatively easy for a SE, but the surveying portion will need a good bit of work if you don't have a background in surveying. My suggestion is that you...

I agree with ptatohed. Just make sure your strengthen your concepts and you will find that the plug and chug will not be that time consuming. The only thing that is time consuming is the vertical curve equations where you are trying to find the clearances. It involves solving a quadratic...

I believe that is how when I took it about 18 years ago... I believe my work experience helped me to pass it.

I was referring to those types of questions... I can't state questions here because of the non-disclosure agreement, but I remember clearly one question in the actual exam that was really confusing. I hear what CAPLS is saying, but I respectfully disagree with him in this regard. 

The text based questions are generally testing your concepts. They can be confusing and most of the the time they are set that way. The only way to do better in them is to study a survey text book or have practical experience with surveying. If you don't have time for either of them, then it is...

Please give the Board a call and find out what is going on. CAPLS may be able to assist you here, but you need an official answer from the board. Good luck.

I hope CAPLS can give you more guidance. However, I think you should contact the CA Board immediately and talk to someone about the medical records. Is it possible to get a doctor's recommendation without spending a lot of money but just fees for one consultation? I am thinking about $100 or...

My advice is for you to find a "job" now where you can use your knowledge and gain experience. A lot of times, engineering problems are more about communicating with the client and end user, and finding an economical solution than running a model and analyzing those results. You really need to...

According to Table 1704.5.1, Item 4, Continuous Inspection during grout placement shall be required. 

@CAPLS I really appreciate you taking the time to reply... I am sure this is going to help a lot of future applicants who maybe doing a web search looking for answers to similar questions.

Goes to show how carefully one needs to approach the exam problems... the "A" answer is a "distractor"... something that many will choose because making a common mistake... 

Very tricky as usual... ptatohed is correct... I used 1+00, 2+00 and 3+00 instead of 3+15 for the last one. Great question!!

Don't make me relive those days of punching numbers furiously... :D I got A, B, B... 

My company pays for the testing fees if you pass. If you do not, then you don't get reimbursed. They also pay for approved educational courses, up to $500 per year. 

For the Surveying and Seismic exams, you should get the notification about 6 weeks before the testing window. Good luck.

I had an old copy of Baradar's sample exams and I took EET's course. I don't know how Baradar's latest version is, but the problems in the old version were more or less of the same difficulty level as the exam. However, I can tell you that during the real exam I felt that I was working on EET's...
