    Goswami Errata?

    I got my All-in-one recently and checked it against the errata sheets and found that all the corrections have been made in the text. Keep that in mind if you're buying it brand new.

    All-in-One Civil PE Exam Guide by Indranil Goswami

    I just got my copy of the All-in-one and I'm pretty psyched about having it. Today I tried creating a WR/ENV Depth index showing at what page to turn for every line item on the NCEES WR/ENV depth exam syllabus but there are several topics that don't have their own coverage subsection. Has...

    ***What is your test taking strategy***

    Yea a few of the NCEES sample questions tripped me up by me not answering the right question. You get to a major part of the solution and that is one of the multiple choice options wating for you. HaHa fooled you, Turns out they wanted the difference or book value or whateever, NCEES is trying...

    That morning index is Gold! Too bad you didn't take the Water Resources afternoon exam. I'm waiting for my All-in-one to arrive in the mail soon, now I'll know exactly where to place its tabs. Thanks!

    PE Online Exam Prep Course

    Sorry you're having to go through all this again. I've been studying since the beginning of may and right now I feel 'equipped' to take the test and soon I might feel really prepared. But I keep imagining reading through the 40 morning and problems and saying 'I don't know how to do any of...

    ***What is your test taking strategy***

    What advice can you guys offer on the search for 'stupid mistakes'? Since I've started studying I've realized that unit conversions or failing to convert is a very common way to get tripped up. What are the most common kinds of stupid mistakes?

    Study system summary.

    That's something I've been thinking of doing, could you upload a copy of that master index, I'd like to see how you put that together. Was the CERM you're main source of information during the exam or was something else primary?

    Cerm Appendix Tricks

    While reading/working-through chapters 17, 18, and 19 of the CERM example and practice problems you get a lot of experience using the Appendices you're after.

    Study system summary.

    Thought your murder comment some kind of gag but i looked it up and there it is: Mood: Set a positive mood for yourself to study in. Select the appropriate time, environment, and attitude Understand: Mark any information you don't understand in a particular unit; Keep a focus on one unit...

    Sign with middle initial?

    I asked the Missouri Board about the using of my full middle name. I was told that, however your name appears on the last page of your application, the page that is Notarized, that is how your name will appear on your stamp. So I'd have to sign my first, middle, and last name each time.

    Study system summary.

    Thanks. I have seen that thread. Still interested in hearing about current routines from people preparing for the fall exam. Although I can see how one might argue that the thread says it all.

    Missouri reference requirement

    It seems like Illinois makes things overly complicated. Call them up at 217-785-0800.

    Study system summary.

    I'd like to see study habit summaries from those scheduled to take the exam this coming October 28th and from anyone who passed on their first try. Here's mine: On May 1st I began a 6 month schedule I set up on the PPI website, which is based on taking the Water Resources Exam. I'm reading...

    Missouri reference requirement

    You only need 2 non-PE personal character letter references. So in total you need 6 people backing you up. 1 Supervior PE. 3 Reference PEs. And 2 Non-PE references.

    Missouri exam location fall 2011,

    I'm registered for the exam and have my room booked at the holiday inn in Columbia as well. The 4 1/2 hour drive from Poplar Bluff is reason enough to kill this beast on my first try. See you guys there. Good luck.

    Metcalf & Eddy study advice

    I just wrapped up the remaining depth problems in my NCEES sample questions book. They really aren't all that bad, just gotta think about what you need to do to get from what's given to the units of the answer. And it almost seems like you'll be surrendering points on exam day if you only bring...

    Metcalf & Eddy study advice

    The M&E is over 1800 pages long. Chapter 8 has the intro to the activated sludge process but the chapter had 10 long subsections. I guess our best bet is to go over as much as possible. Would be great if I knew at what subsection to move on so I'm not wasting time.
