Great write-up, very close to how I prepared.

I think that one lesson to be learned from the NCEES pratice test is that several of the PE exam questions are easy to solve, easy to look up, and easy to figure out, even if they at first appear to be foreign. Another lesson is that you must be careful at all times, with units and with...

I went through the same nightmare, I was in bes super early and tried to pass out even with all my anxiety. People were screaming and running up and down the hallways. I took it all as a sign that I was doomed to have to retake the exam. I fell asleep sometime after 1am I think. Thankfully I...

Jacob, passed PE, Missouri, Civil, WR/ENV.

Congrats DS58, I was really impressed with your resource set up at the exam, I'm glad all my book shuffling and candy bar eating didn't affect your results. :)

I passed!!! WR/ENV, first attempt. All smiles. :)

I called and spoke with a Missouri Board receptionist too. Her first response to me was that we wouldn't get the results until early January. She was oblivious to the fact that the NCEES websit is a source for our results as soon as Missouri 'validates' them. Thing is, the FE results were...

I fell victim to lost time because of this problem. This is water resources depth problem 518 of the 2000 NCEES sample questions. It gives storativity which means unsteady flow which means ignore it. We're only gonna see steady flow well analysis on exam day.

Pg 477. The Hazen-Williams eqn. is missing 3.022 in the numerator, see CERM eqn. 17.30.

I'd say shop around but do nothing that will jeapordize priority # 1 (PE).

E1= E2 E =d + v^2/2g d1 = 8' v1 = 3 ft/sec d2 = barrier ht + rect. channel crit. depth v2 is based on crit. depth Solve for barrier ht. CERM eqns. 19.66 and 19.74 See example 19.7, 10th CERM

This is one of the last weekends before the exam that I dont have my daughter, I'm going to work a billion problems this weekend.

It's from the 2011 sample questions, there's one similar in the All-in-one book but it only has you solve for Q and it's trapezoidal, but you use the d/b tables just like when solving for K and K'. I might be able to do a write up of the problem, scan and post it some time.

so you thought you were supposed to divide by Volume, since the all in one had a V?

Yea, I've noticed that as I'm working problems now a days I go straight to my All-in-one first, and usually find exactly what I need, but sometimes when I want to be 100% sure, I open up my CERM again.

I was recently gifted the April 2011 testmasters binder from a friend who's having to retake the exam. He's taking the course again and they gave him a new binder. I took a few hours last night to read through all the WR/ENV sections and I've gotta say: the binder is solid gold. There are...

Nice job with that single page format, I think I'll use that in the morning instead of my 2 page version. Looks like you had no luck filling in the Goswami holes for Flood plains/floodways Detention/retention ponds, collection systems, and hydraulic loading. And I can tell you took some time...

Yea, it's a ton of stuff, I felt overwhemed when I started studying but after a while it's just a way of life. Remember that there can no victory without sacfrifice. As others have touched upon, family life suffers when we engage in this quest for PE - awesomness. Manage it as best you can...

Happy birthday

Hand Cannon FTW.
