CPESR is enough for the exam (but bring both, why not?). Reza gives more practice questions. I did add a few additional common shapes to the manual for areas and volumes (that I did not end up needing) During the actual exam, if you're well-prepared, you probably will barely be referring to...

Yes. I don't recall any ambiguous questions on the exam (sometimes you may need a minute to figure out what it's asking, but it's not ambiguous, just intentionally buried in extraneous information)

This is the email I got from the board after I passed the first state-specific exam. It sounds like you don't need to do anything. I still need a result from my second. Mine took a long time, but I was part of the crush of applicants after the last pencil-and-paper NCEES exam. 4 months, told I...

I really do not understand why this isn't made explicit on the web application. You have language like this: "Different projects for one employer at one level of responsibility are not considered separate engagements" but then if you try to use the same job, it automatically populates "2" in the...

Just as a quick question, has anyone figured out how to edit a reference in order to resolve a deficiency? The portal does not seem to allow it (even though the reviewer told me that I was permitted to do so. The UI for the portal definitely needs some work.

Hi everyone, some deficiencies were identified (4/8, about 4 months post-application, for the information of other applicants) that are completely baffling to me. Some of it might have been the case of trying to communicate too much in too small a space (fitting 30 months of work into 2...

Hi there, just popping in to update. It turns out there still is a "technical review" although the portal doesn't show it until your application moves to that stage. Mine moved onto Technical Review sometime in the first two weeks of February. I'm still at Technical Review stage (as a refresher...

I used to run competitively, but then went to grad school and developed other interests and anxiety. Now I run casually 4-5 times a week and lift weights. We are still WFH for a few weeks and I have really been enjoying getting out in the middle of the day for some sunshine. Every now and then...

Hi all, I believe the process is substantially different now that Civil applications use the BPELSG Connect portal. Does anyone have an experience to share that includes the portal? For me, I found out I passed the NCEES exam December 1st. Submitted a complete application on December 9th. My...

I would not recommend getting outside help on the ethics exam.

Thanks! Our traffic calming ranges from the most basic speed hump to more complex projects like bulb-outs, traffic circles, and traffic diverters. Probably the most interesting project I’ve worked on built a traffic circle and carved ADA-accessible curb ramps and crosswalks into some steep...

Hi everyone, I passed the Civil PE (Transportation) exam in October. I'm filling out the application and have two general questions, one regarding references and another regarding qualifying experience. I worked for 2.5 years where my manager was a Planner and all my engineering work was...

Hi everyone, I'm Luke. I'm a Transportation EIT in California. Took the PE Exam in October and passed, and am now in the licensing application stage. This board has a lot of great information! I do have a specific question which I'll post in the appropriate place but I'll keep this post to an...
