Civil Breadth Spec.

[Calixico]

I looked at the NCEES Specification and cannot find one description on if any type of Surveying questions will be on the P.E. Civil Breadth exam. Any recent examinee, could you please let me know of your experience. I understand that cut and fill problems could be classified as surveying question, but I am mostly talking about angles and distance calculations or Bearing and areas calculation.

Angle and bearing calculations may be needed for laying out horizontal curves in the morning, but I don't think it will be that in depth. That's probably more for an afternoon question.

I'd know how to do alignments...

You'd be surprised how high school trig and geometry can help you out on questions like these.
