It's been a while since I took the exam, but if it's still divided by civil engineering work type, structures, fluids, highway, and economic etc.; be familiar with every work type. Get a set of example problems. Work all of them, every work type. You will find that there are easy quick answer problems in every type. For example structures had a simple beam (with moment of inertia given), loaded in the middle and asked for extreme fiber stress. Start studying early; work a couple problems a day until the test . Good luck.

Dont fall into the trap of studying your life away or thinking that you need to suffer when you study. build a routine that gets YOU into the best flow state you can be in and take it one study problem at a time. Stay calm and the knowledge will flow. What study tips do you find work best for you?? share with the group in the comments below!

you have a FE one?

[@amidaa928]

What did you study for the AM part? The CERM is huge and have a lot of topics that are not in the PE Spec.

[@Kestava_Engineering]

Amid, Cross out the chapter that are not civil engineering for starters. and then I actually studied just about every chapter believe it or not! but that was just how I did it.

Well done!

I will take April exam this month as structure. Do you have any idea? One hour per day? Right now I'm full time study

[@Kestava_Engineering]

Id do at least an hour a day and more on the weekends. thats just what I prefer tho!

[@Kay-yx2sn]

@@Kestava_Engineering will try thanks

[@enrique2914]

I am planning to take mine in April, I am fresh of studying for FE Civil, do you think it's worth by taking a prep course or just by going with the reference books should be fine ny NCEES and the CERM by Lindeburg?

[@Kestava_Engineering]

which discipline exam are you looking to take? if its structural specific then i think its gunna be pretty difficult to pass without bringing all the codes. but let me know!

[@enrique2914]

@@Kestava_Engineering ​ @Kestävä I am interested in Structures, Geotech and Transportation, but more towards Structures, but it looks like that is the most pricey material wise. I keep reading in some forums some people say they used this book, but not this one, and so on, so I am confused that if I go for Structures I need every single referenced Code book. I will e-mail since you took it and passed, if you please point to the right direction in which material you used and if indeed you needed all of them or if there was any extra materials that helped you. Thank you!
