The Civil PE, specifically. I'm signed up for it in the Spring. How did you study? What ref. books did you buy and were they helpful? Was it as hard/harder/not as hard as the EIT/FE? By hard, I mean calculus-based problems and picky stuff that I won't remember from school. What type of problems were on there? I've heard of structural, reservoir, traffic, and even a construction problem.

I'm a little worried, but not as much as when I took the EIT.

The PE test varies from state to state i believe. I haven't taken it yet but i hear that it is harder than the EIT.

Best way to study would be take a PE study course that prepares you for the exam.

Good luck......i wanted to kill myself after the EIT!!!!!

My brother took one of those courses for his PE Civil, worked his ass off, and did very well. I personally think he could have gotten by with less, but thats not the type of person he is. I am sure with some work you will do fine
