PE Civil second taker exam level

[Gonzaga]

Hello all,

I'm taking the PE civil-structural exam for the second time in April,  after solving decent amount of practice problem for the depth portion I still see the exam questions level were way harder any one having the same thoughts or am I missing something here?

Thats tough to swallow (first time taker this april).

You're saying that based on all practice problems you solved (the Oct 2018 exam you took) had harder depth problems?

Which practice problems were you solving. 

 

[Gonzaga]

Yes, I solved practice problem from EET depth course, NCEES practice exam book, and PPI depth practice exams

I took the test last October and I think/hope that test might've been an outlier. I didn't think that the AM was bad but the transportation was pretty difficult. I've just been focusing on what i did poor on in my diagnostic report and just getting a better understanding of concepts. It's a grind but you can do it.
