    Why does Construction have a low pass rate?

    NCEES has"Means and Methods" as an entire subject matter in the breadth section. I, along with most engineers, would consider concrete mix design a major engineering concept, especially considering there are several civil engineering courses specifically devoted to it. Out of all of the Civil...

    Why does Construction have a low pass rate?

    I have heard of several people taking the Civil Construction exam because they believed it would be easier.  I was debating between taking the Civil: Structural and Civil: Construction test.  I had an emphasis on Civil Structural in college, and I use both at work doing structural engineering...

    Hello from North Texas!

    Welcome from San Antonio.  I know they are a bit expensive, but I would recommend some sort of course for the breadth portion.  They help make sure you stay out of the weeds and study the important material.  I tried at first to study my CERM by skim reading on my own and caught myself reading...

    Why does Construction have a low pass rate?

    I would be curious to know how many people take Civil: Construction because they think it will be easier than the other exams.

    Deceptive Exam

    The quick reference manual is sold by PPI.  https://ppi2pass.com/quick-reference-for-the-civil-engineering-pe-exam-ceqr9.html  It does not contain all of the equations of the CERM, but it contains the "most valuable and common used equations and graphs" while using the same numbering and order...

    Deceptive Exam

    I relied heavily on the Quick Reference manual and used it like the FE exam reference manual.  It was especially handy for quick questions that only required plug and chug equations.  I tabbed it, made notes in it, and tried to get really comfortable with it.  If I could not solve a problem with...

    Deceptive Exam

    I couldn't agree more with the quality part.  The main thing that stressed me out about the PPI review course was getting bogged down in discussion about insignificant details during the classes.  Some of the practice problems/homework also made you graph data or use processes that would never...

    Job opportunities right after University

    I would recommend Monster and Indeed, because I have some friends that had success with each.  Also, some companies post job openings in some pretty random places. If you have a few keywords, google can be your friend.
