[QUOTE="CarmenIsCivil, post: 7707953, member: 43489"] I just registered for the NCEES PE Exam. It'll be the new CBT so I can take it whenever, but was planning on scheduling it for March 28, 2021. I signed up for the EET Civil Breadth and Transportation Depth Webinars, which go from Dec 4 to Mar 15. Is this a good schedule, or should I plan on taking the exam later than that? From what I understand, you can't take the Seismic/Survey courses until the PE is passed and the Board approves you, correct? I'm seeing people on the forum say that they took all 3 exams at the same time, so I'm a bit confused; has this changed recently or can people still take all at once? Regardless, my main question is how I should prepare/schedule for ALL the exams. Should I get PE out of the way then start studying for CA-specific exams afterward? Should I study for all the exams concurrently? How long should I plan to study for the CA exams if I'm putting aside 4 months for the PE? (I read in the pinned post you should allot 50% of the time spent on the PE to each exam). I definitely think the EET will be helpful for the PE because I need a structured study schedule and don't have the discipline to just set a study schedule myself and determine how to best manage my study time. Based on that, are the EET courses great for the CA exams as well, or would buying a reference book and doing practice problems be sufficient? I've just moved to California and had already done a ton of research on the PE exam before realizing that I have to take these 2 extra exams as well, so I'm just wondering what the "tried and true" method of studying is for all 3 exams.
