I'm definitely going to get the practice book with 500 problems. I'm still debating on the exam booklet with two exams (80 questions) though... I just hope it doesn't have the same questions as the practice book since it's the same author

There might have been similar problems but for the most part, the practice exam questions were different.

I WILL say that the Practice Problem book and the 101 Solved Environmental Engineer Problems book by Schneiter overlap. I learned that the hard way :\

I agree with @txjennah PE on that as well.

@engineer123 I recommend getting the practice exams too and running through a few "practice test" trials before your exam. I  blocked off 4 hours and took the exams trying to reflect the same conditions as the actual test. I used the handbook pdf online and used a dry erase board to do my calcs. It helps you get a feel for how your timing is per problem, and it trains you to know when to skip something and go back. Then I'd do the NCEES exam the same way.

Thank you both! @txjennah PE@GirlsCanDesign

I just found the practice exams book for $15 on Amazon (it seems weird, but it's worth the risk), but if you have the other one...

Thanks for the advice @JayKay0914 @engineer123 and @GirlsCanDesign! 

 

[GirlsCanDesign]

@waternerd I would just make sure they're the updated practice books for PPI. They created new ones based on CBT so chances are that $15 one you're looking at is an old edition. I think my PPI booklet (reflecting CBT) was around $80.

 

[waternerd]

That's my guess, but for 15 bucks maybe I'll get some extra practice problems.

Hahahaha, I just checked and the books I have on Amazon are sold out/ridiculously expensive.  Maybe you went through a normal seller to get the $15 price?  None of mine are the CBT-version, but they're good solid practice exams + practice problems.

How did you guys utilize the Intro to Environmental Eng book by David & Cornell? It was recommend by a lot of the folks here & has practice questions at the end of each chapter which seem pretty good but it doesn't come with a solution manual or answer key! Was wondering if theres solution book out there?

I just found the practice exam book for $37, $43 I dont know if these are the new CBT version.

 

[engineer123]

@MaryamWhere did you find them for that amount? I think it might be the older books, but trying check the ISBN number.

I'd like to know this as well! lol I just tried searching on amazon & ebay for books but didn't find one. I know Chegg has textbook solutions so that might be an option.

@engineer123 On amazon, it shows the same new book cover, I emailed the seller to check if it is the 2018 copy. he did not respond yet.

@GirlsCanDesignwow that's awesome - congratulations on the pass  how did you feel about the exam overall? I hope those of us who still need to take it will have a good chance of passing =p I am worried about air section since I don't work in that area.
