    I used the Schneiter boon to study too and I remember being concerned about equations needed to solve his problems that weren’t I. The reference manual. All of the equations that I needed for my exam were in the reference manual - the challenge is knowing where to find them quickly. I wouldn’t...

    It's been a while since I last checked in here, but my license number was issued a couple weeks ago!  Good luck to those who are preparing for or about to take this exam.  Stay strong and keep up the hard work!!  It does eventually pay off.

    I think it really depends on your background and what you've been working in.  A lot of what I liked about the CBT exam also makes it challenging.  There are no references to bring in (you only get the reference manual) and the qualitative questions (you either know or you don't) are relatively...

    I passed.  I can't believe it....I'm in shock.  Thank you to everyone in this thread for your support.  This is a big milestone that has been a long time coming for me.

    Good morning, I sat for the Environmental PE exam yesterday and wanted to provide a little feedback/insight to those who haven't yet taken this exam.   Pros: I actually preferred taking the exam at the Pearson center.  I've taken the Civil PE twice in 2018 and 2019 (both fails) in Raleigh. ...

    Been chugging through PPI practice problems/review.  Just started the two Schneider practice tests this week.  My plan is to work through these and the NCEES practice test until my exam at the end of September.  My exam date hasn't changed but I wouldn't be surprised if it does with all the...

    October 2020 Exams

    I don't see how this is going to be possible.  I've taken the Civil PE twice (both fails, sadly) in Raleigh and the room and hallways outside the exam room have been slammed with people both times.  Factor in also the loads of books / exam materials that need to be moved and carried around.

    West Virginia Licensed Remediation Specialist (LRS) Exam

    I've been looking into taking the West Virginia Licensed Remediation Specialist (LRS) exam for some time as I do manage projects in the Voluntary Remediation Program.  The West Virginia website is pretty bare bones and I'm looking for folks who have taken this exam to feel out what the test...

    Been a while, so checking in with folks.  I moved my exam date to end of September.  Covid has been a huge disruptor and between work, child care, and selfcare, studying has taken a lower priority.  That said, I picked up the PPI practice problems and practice exams.  SoPE is a great review but...

    It's been a while since I checked in.  I was making pretty good progress through SOPE's on-demand review and then COVID-19 hit.  Schools were cancelled and we had no child care for our three year old.  I had to prioritize work and taking care of my three year old son.  By the time he would go to...

    Hey @Aspiring_Engineer, I haven't taken the PE Environmental CBT yet but as someone who has failed the Construction depth twice, please keep your head up!  There's no shame in failing.  You at least had the experience of sitting for the exam and you'll be familiar with the exam room and Pearson...

    Has anyone found a solid set of flash cards for review prep?  I’ve searched on google and amazon without much luck.  If it comes to it I could always make my own.

    Civil Construction PE Prep - Second Attempt

    Hey civilrobot - I'm in a similar position.  I took the Construction depth in October 2018 and failed with a 42/80.  I wasn't surprised as I just did self-study and had a one-year old that wasn't sleeping well.  I took the Construction depth again in October 2019 and failed with a 41/80.  I was...

    Thanks @CHouse and @txjennah PE!  I appreciate the feedback and recommendations.  I'm leaning strongly towards taking the SoPE review course and then working a ton of review problems.  If I still feel like I'm not where I need to be, I'm going to look into the EET depth review.  I want to take...

    I'm definitely looking for a solid review course, preferably one that is on-demand, to help get me up to speed on the topics that I'm less familiar on.  Do folks have any recommendations?  I used SOPE for my FE review and while it was helpful, I know that I only passed because I worked through a...

    It was certainly disappointing but I spent the last few days researching the environmental exam.  A co-worker who recently passed the CBT shared her study materials so I could get a feel for some of topics and questions.  I’m absolutely kicking myself - what was I thinking taking the...

    Hey all - I'm a long-time lurker who just failed the Civil - Construction depth for the 2nd time.  All of my professional experience is in environmental consulting (remediation/site assessment) and mostly as a project manager.  For whatever reason I felt that the Construction depth was a...
