Eric, This would be a Lifting and Rigging Type Problem on the exam. If you are taking the Construction PM, there will at least 1 problem, maybe 2 on this overall topic. I would say out of those 2 questions, most likely (75%) it will not deal with sheaves. However, the tough part about...

The questions on the exam are random. But you are correct the NCEES practice exam and most others follow the NCEES specifications sequence. I would organize your reference material according to discipline though (construction, geotech, structural, WR, Trans), and tab the Topic (Project...

Why not apply for the test in April? If you have no kids I think you will have plenty of time to study and pass. Then if you miss one of the tests, which most likely you will, you can regroup/refocus in OCT. In order to get your PE quicker, I would recommend this approach.

Yes, you are correct with the above answer. That amount does matter on the test though. So make sure you account for all of it.

In the construction PM, there is a chance of 1 question on timber. It is from the "other topics" section. So that is why test masters probably put the material in. I would scan the material and not worry about it too much. Since the test is FRIDAY!!!

Yes, I would go with C too. The question asks for most nearly which means the closest number, which is C. This is a good question because it makes you pay attention to what is actually being asked. This is important to pay attention to on the exam. There are a lot of easy answered missed...

Those are good goals, it is great to dream big. You have a lot of work in front of you, stay Focused and you can make it happen.

Your welcome...Stay committed and focused. You will be able to pass this exam. This little struggle will just make you a better Professional Engineer.

billyluv, Just to clarify - the learncivilengineering website does NOT offer a class. I do recommend an online class from MGI Management Institute, which is a low cost option with a lot of sample problems and a money back guarantee. It is very good, I have reviewed it. However, for you I...

Billyluv, I am almost done with a site redesign. So in a couple of weeks it should be a lot more user friendly. Let me know if you have any questions.

I am still looking for someone to help me with some geotech problems and study notes. Let me know if you have any expertise in the AM side of geotechnical engineering and will to hep out. Thanks

I don't think I have ever seen a project site WITHOUT signs saying who is constructing the project and who is the A/E firm designing it. So yes I think it is okay.

I am wondering what people here thought about the Construction Afternoon part of the exam? Of course be careful on what you say about it. But overall did you find the questions fair. Were they similar in difficulty to the NCEES practice problems? Any other feedback? Thanks.

Good advice above.. Also make sure to tab every section in your OSHA book so you can quickly find those answers.

I think the problem is wrong(or just worded poorly). The answer should be $2700. The question states that the whole crew is needed for that production rate. So the crew cost is $108/CLH and you need 25 hours to complete the job(5000sf/200(sf/LH)). So it really is that simple and the Labor cost...

No, you will use the average end area for both cases. Only use the truncated pyramid or any other formula, if that road is getting smaller and is close to 0 cut/fill at one end. This should never be the case though.

Clint, CERM Chapter 77 and 80 cover surveying and staking. also you can review here; http://www.learncivilengineering.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Site-Layout-and-Control-moved.pdf Also "Construction surveying manual covers the material" which can be found at...

No, sorry. I try and stay focused on only the construction engineering side.

Some of you figured this out, but I thought it would be good to post the index, showing what problems types are on NCEES 2011, PE Civil: Construction Sample Questions and Solutions. This is a must buy for the exam. As you can see from below not all topics are covered however, most of them are...

I am looking for a little help developing some good new AM Geotechnical practice problems 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 me and I will give...
