They are not too hard, they just take longer than 6 min per problem. When practicing problems don't worry about solving the problems within 6 minutes, just understand the concepts and how to solve the problem. That is the most important. I never agreed with saying you need to solve problems...

Thechosenone, There really isn't any good PM books for the construction PE Exam. The best advice is just buy the 9 design standards that NCEES recommends, buy Rajaspeke, review my website (www.learncivilengineering.com) and then look at the sections to see what else you need to supplement...

Jonhnny123, when you order, use the code "LCE discounts" and get 15% off. It is a great company. Mark

Clintonvillian, I think we all agree with you the question is worded poorly which could lead to confusion. NCEES most likely will not ask that question on the exam because of this potential misinterpretation. However, if they did, DO NOT over-think it. Just go with the most right answer...

Yes, for the AM you are not required to have any design standards. You just need to know the basic formulas for each module/section that NCEES calls out. The CERM covers all the AM parts, you just need to tab out the sections because the CERM also covers a lot of what you don't need too. But...

I am looking for a little help developing some good practice problems and teaching notes for the structural AM module over at my site learncivilengineering.com. If you have recently passed the PE exam and want to help please let me know. I will pay you a reasonable amount of money for your...

Oh...understood. I will look for a better spot to post this. Go ahead and delete this post here if you want. Thanks Sapper

VTEnviro, Why would you say that? I used that company and they provided a great stamp and seal for me (as many people stated above). So I contacted the owner and she allowed me to offer a 15% discount to any engineer that I referred (due to my website). I do not get a commission for any...

I agree engineerseals.com is a great place to order your seal from. Put in "LCE discount" in the additional information block at checkout to get an additional 15% off.

I am looking for a little help developing some good practice problems and teaching notes for water resources AM over at my site learncivilengineering.com. If you have recently passed the PE exam and want to help please let me know. I will pay you a reasonable amount of money for your help. PM...

ArcherCat, It really does depend on what depth module you are taking because the each depth sections "other topics" are other modules depth portions. Also even when you look at the NCEES topic outline it is not clear which topic is what. So not a easy task, and I don't know of anywhere...

Yeah don't worry. I am also a chemical engineer undergrad, but have spent my whole career doing civil engineering work. You are a engineer, which makes you a problem solver, so just think it through. Civil engineering is much more logical/common sense than chemical engineering. So you should...

2 more.. Structural and Geotechnical

Okay now I completely agree too. I just didn't agree with people saying that construction was "too tough". It really just depends on your experience. I contacted NCEES and they said they don't have the breakdown for the passing rates by Civil EN depth section available. What a bummer.

I am just saying that the construction test has been around for a while now so I don't think it is such a wild card anymore. The topics are pretty clearly defined in the NCEES outline, so I would think the test administrators have probably got it around the average pass rate for civil...

I just don't agree with the argument that the construction engineering PM exam is harder than any other civil engineering section. First point - The passing rate of a first time test taker in Civil Engineering for the April Exam was 70% (almost half that if you are a repeat taker). So in...

Andrew, in general I usually suggest just buying what the ncees website tells you to. You probably won't get anything wrong, but there may be one question. If i were you this is what i would do, 1. get the 2012 NDS version, you will probably only use this book one or twice and a newer...

Sorry about not catching this question sooner. The problem assumes that the pumps are far enough away to not interfere with each other. This is a conservative assumption which allows you to use the provided formula. I don't understand the other question so please explain further. Also I have...

It really depends what your masters is in and what PE your are going for. The masters program should at least take a year off your experience requirement. Go to www.fbpe.org/ for more information about the requirements, and email or call someone from the board. They will be able to provide...

I would recommend Rajapakse Practice Problems. Those are the two books(Rajapakse's) I used for the exam and passed.
