    Question about PE Civil - Structures Depth- Temporary Structures

    Interesting...I'd think that'd be a more comprehensive reference than whatever is provided in the new handbook. Might work to your advantage as they can't get too crazy with the question...or the total opposite and they expect you to just know these things..

    CBT TESTING - 2022

    I would tab as you go through the lessons with EET. There's such thing as overtabbing in my mind. You don't necessarily have to tab every single page. I went through and tabbed everything my first go around to the point where it wasn't helpful at all. I actually spent 2 nights before my exam...

    Question about PE Civil - Structures Depth- Temporary Structures

    I didn't take structural, but ACI SP-4 was the reference for the Construction exam. It covers formwork, falsework, shoring/reshoring (ACI347R) , bracing etc.

    NJ Application Status - Stuck Pending

    I've got a coworker in the same boat. He's having trouble as well. My thought is, this April/May is the start of a new biennial license renewal for current license holders. Everybody renews at the same time. IE, my license was issued on 1/15/21, supposed to be a 2 year license but my current...

    Repeat Takers Strategies - Civil PE CBT

    Das - Principles of Geotechnical Engineering is a great Geotech reference. Happened to have the book from college. I think it does a pretty good job explaining (simply) the concepts and contains some good examples. I don't recall really using it on the exam but I did have it with me. I took...

    Which is best choice for PE construction course

    EET for sure. And I wouldn't think of it as a waste of money. Its an investment in yourself and if you take the time to watch every lecture and put the time into studying it surely isn't a waste. If you pay all that money and take a laxed approach, then it is a waste. Taking a course doesn't...

    October 2021 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

    Nope. Your application is now stuck in purgatory at the mercy of an NJ State Agency. If it doesn't come back up, you can always check teh DCA website for whoever your application liaison is and send them an email. No guarantees you'll get a timely response...

    PE Seal & Stamp

    I got mine from Acorn as I saw the 30% off promo code banner here. I forget exactly which one i bought but the free digital seals was a nice bonus. And they send them in a few formats (.dxf, pdf, jpg and i think one more) so you can just plop it however needed.

    What in the hell were they testing orally?

    How did it go? PE Civil Construction Oct 2019

    I do not think the CMWB is "needed". I don't recall any questions on my exam (OCT 2020) requiring this. But there's nothing to say it won't show up on another exam. But, to me, it's such a minor topic that I'd think you'd see 1 maybe 2 questions max. So, I don't see that topic as the make or...

    Pe construction passing rate

    Here's my two cents as someone who took the Construction exam and as stated above, spends more time in a field setting with a demanding work schedule. I believe the reason that the passing rate is low is because the exam covers such a broad spectrum of topics which touch on "a little bit of...

    Pe conceptional question

    Correct - I award you an honorary Civil Online PE for your efforts. As you said, Statement I is false. If it were balanced, the Mass Haul Diagram would end on the axis (ie, zero). For 2 &3, you've got it. And for a little more convoluted way of looking at it, if the mass diagram has a...

    Pe construction EET binders

    Sign up for the class. You will get your own binders to note as you need. You will not be doing any favors for yourself. The team over at EET puts in a lot of effort in providing these courses and materials. Pay for their course and their efforts. You will not be disappointed.

    2022 - Closed Book CBT PE-Civil-Subjects exam!!!

    I don't think it's closed book...I just think they consolidate and provide you with a electronic reference manual to use. Which, I believe you can access during your preparation to get familiar with the resource. I didn't take a CBT so I cannot say that with any certainty.

    Traffic Control Plan - Work Experience

    Just my quick 2 cents - haven't got much to add as it seems Jbrown's got it. I think you have to get a little "creative" in how you word your engagements. Similar to JBrown, I am a PM more than a designer engineer by trade. But my job requires me to use my engineering judgement and technical...

    Questions

    Can you provide more insight as to which sample problems you are doing/which exam you are planning to take? Kind of difficult to provide anything of usefulness without more info. However, judging by what you have given, it appears you are planning to take a Civil exam and I assume the WRE...

    Unified Soil Classification System

    Haven't used this personally. I just Googled and this came up: LOGitEASY - USCS Calculator I suspect a series of IF, AND, OR mixed with some VLOOKUP formulas will probably get you there. The logic itself is fairly simple on reading the flow chart as is. If I was doing it for myself, I...

    Baseball 2021

    He's our douche...and hopefully he's still got something left in the tank. He was a pretty solid offensive player for LA a few years back, although seems to be a shell of that now. Hope he can find that form again. Although, giving up our #12 prospect, albeit a 1st baseman kinda sucks. I...
