Do you know if they plan to update this reference for the new NCEES exam specifications?

 

[John QPE]

It is up to date with the exception of the HSM and ADA stuff ..... he is working on an errata he said will be on the website for download by February.

I can't speak highly enough about this book as a reference .... almost everything you will likely need (equations, tables, graphs, etc) is in this book.

The book is $100 more on his website though ..... we're not all ballers like you. :Locolaugh: :Locolaugh:

I was not making any suggestions of where to buy it, I just think it is beneficial to have the author’s/publisher's website.

In fact, I'm not making any suggestions to buy it at all.

I have stayed quiet on this but when I used his book for CA-Seismic, it was riddled with so many inexcusable errors, I was very turned off. I'll take your word that the Transpo material is better.

I added emojis to the above to highlight the sarcasm....

I've been pouring over the tables, and checking against the original tables, so far everything has checked out.

Dont waste your time and money. It will frustrate you

I saw the banner ad today and, over a week later, it still reads "secifications". LOL

@John QPE....just wanted some quick clarification.  It seems that Mansour has several different packages available for his transportation reference material.  Since I am taking the EET class I am not concerned with reference material for the morning transportation questions, but what are your thoughts on the best package for the PM portion of the exam (see link below)?

Thanks!

Your best option for the PM Depth is to enroll in the EET PM class and use that binder.

Besides getting a copy of the actual codes (Green Book, HCM, MUTCD) you won't need anything in addition to the EET binder.
