California Traffic Engineer (TE) Exam

[syedimam1]

I'm wondering if there are folks who have written the TE (traffic) for California's BPELSG before? Is anyone able to share any strategies, information on test format (it's multiple choice and 8 hours, but the number of questions isn't specified), resources, etc?

Hi! I found one helpful resource. Please message and me and I'm happy to share. If you end up finding the test format or other details (like number of questions) let me know.

It is 120 questions, which equals to about 4 minutes a question.

There are practice problems on the boards website. Don't bother call the board's examination department about how to obtain a copy of the HDM for the exam. The board expects us to print all the materials and buy them. Thus making the TE exam more expensive than the PE. I've passed the PE and I'm wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze?

What is "HDM"? Link to Test Plan: https://www.bpelsg.ca.gov/applicants/plan_traffic.pdf
