    NCEES Absorbs Financial Impact due to April '20 Cancellations

    I've learned from an inside source that the NCEES examination board laid-off more than 100 employees which included judges, proctors, and management level employees. Quite frankly I couldn't care less about this organization and its deceptive grading practices. Many of you on this board can...

    Computer based PE Exam

    I am personally glad the board is making the PE Exam computer based and don't believe all the criticism by the exam prep companies.

    ACI MNL 15-16

    I find it pretty ridiculous for the board to put this reference on the construction depth exam, btw every site I have found it has it on backorder so good luck acquiring it. My company has all the 2009 ACI Manuals of Concrete Practice (6 volumes in all) and they have about 18 of the 22 specs...

    Construction Reference

    Hey, does anyone on here have a copy of Nick Capachi's book Excavation & Grading Handbook? This seems to be the industry wide resource for learning surveying techniques using grade stakes, hubs, etc. Based on the last exam, there was 1 question that threw me off and I want to be able to...

    EET Depth

    Is there any possibility of just paying for the EET depth section and not both? Is it recommended? I felt I did very good in the morning and terrible on the construction afternoon for the April exam.
