Thanks! Here is the book: http://ppi2pass.com/ppi/PPIShop?ct=CIVIL&a...0&pr=NCPECC

I found quite a few CPM videos on YouTube which were helpful in explaining the scheduling problems.

Yes. It is helpful. I used it for at least one problem each time I took the exam. I think I paid about $15 online.

I took the Construction depth....and I am one of those who passed. This was not my first time taking the construction depth. I had difficulty in the passed preparing for the various topics covered under construction. I must say that the new NCEES study guide for the Construction depth helped...

What "new material from NCEES 2011" are you referring to?

Thanks Happy....This direction is a start of how I was hoping my request would be answered!

I am curious as to Problem #117 of the NCEES Civil Sample Questions & Solutions book. The problem provides a "net total dynamic head" and a flow. It asks you to determine which type of single-stage impeller would be the most efficient to use. Using the CERM, I know that I can solve this...

Again, sorry for the improper scan. Please refer to: PAGE 38 the NCEES Civil PE Construction sample Questions & Solutions book.

My bad on the improper attachment. For those still viewing this problem, please refer to: Page 33 of the NCEES Sample Questions & Solutions book for the Civil PE

try the attachment again... While I know the attachment helps to make the question understandable, we need to ensure we don't violate copywrite laws. I've removed the attachment. Please reference people to their version of the practice exam instead of posting a scan of the document. Thanks...

Maybe I need to be a bit more specific with my inquiry... attached is one sample problem for the morning session. The solution is as follows: "Tube sections are better able to resist lateral torsional buckling than channel, wide-flange, and double-angle sections and are therefore generally...

Attached is a problem regarding hauling dirt from a construction site and determining the productivity rate. The solutions manual says that you should use the "Bank Density" for the calculation. However, my first instinct would be to use the "Loose Density" since the dirt in the ground (bank)...

There is a problem I have encountered in the past which has several different cross sections of comparable size, such as a W-Beam, C-Channel, L-Channel, Hollow Tube, etc... The question asks something like "which of the following sections is stronger." I am drawing a blank as to what they mean...

I bought the book. On the surface, I think that it is setup in a format how ALL the references offered by PPI should be formated. The book has 40 questions with solutions for each in the back. Nothing too different than any other book. What I do like about it that does not appear in the...

I just now noticed this reply. I anonymously (as much as one could be discrete) informed the proctors during the break that there were unauthorized books in the room. I even provided them with descriptions in case they were uninformed as to what I was talking about. Unfortunately, nothing was...

I noticed that this link is broken as well. I looked at FIU's website and they do not list Dr Luis Prieto-Portar, PhD, P.E. as a member of the faculty on their page. It is a shame because that website had some great review material.

5' x 2' table......shared..... .....pretty intense for an "open book" exam

Here are the References I have which have been useful: Bob's Rigging & Crane Handbook "Sixth Edition" (The Hoisting Triangle) Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods Estimating Construction Costs Handbook of Temporary Structures in Construction The Procedure Handbook of Arc...

This thread is being started more as a means to vent then to ask a question. This will be my third time taking the Exam in Illinois. I must express my disappointment in the inconsistent application of the "rules" regarding the exam. The State of Illinois publishes their own rules (as I am...

I agree with you. I had the Second Edition and was completely unimpressed with the diagrams and examples. I did purchase the Third Edition in hopes that this issue was corrected and they formatted the book so that it was not laid out like a jumbled mess of professor notes...
