Hi Rob, Thanks for the valuable tips. I just want to know how you downloaded the NCEES site's reference codes? I am planning to sit PE construction. I did get the Civil reference manual but not the codes.

[@Rob_Lerch]

Hey, I did a google search for each reference and was able to access them on a free online library.

Did you use your dry erase pad alot to solve problems during the PE? So, I bought a dry erase pad awhile ago to practice for the FE. I took the School of PE and NCEES practice FE exams and used my dry erase pad to solve most questions. When I took the actual FE exam I didn't actually use the pad as much as I expected. The questions (still tough) seemed simplified or more geared towards understanding concepts then solving actual problems. (My opionion) I've been studying for the PE construction exam following similar routine of solving practice problems on my dry erase pad and was just curious.

Although you may not use the dry erase pad as frequently as prepared for, I think it's still beneficial to use the pad during your studies. It's always best to simulate as close to the real exam as possible when doing practice problems and exams.

Hi Rob. I will take the PE Civil exam soon. I have a few questions for you. What do you think about EET review course? Is it compatible with School of PE review course? Also do you recommend Civil PE Practice Breadth Exam or NCEES PE Practice Exam or both? Also do you recommend buying a NCEES Handbook? Thanks in advance.

Hey, thanks for your comment! I’m not too familiar with the EET course since I didn’t take it, but I have heard positive opinions on it. I took the School of PE course and the course prepared me well for the exam. I would absolutely buy both practice exams and take both multiple times. Practice problems and exams are by far the best way to study and prepare for the exam. I’m not exactly sure what you mean by the NCEES Handbook… if you are talking about the reference manual, then I would say you can download that via PDF and that should be fine.

How to prepare for the exam? I want to take PE mining and mineral processing practice exam. But I don't know where I can start.

[@Rob_Lerch]

Hi Mohammed, the best way to prepare for the PE exam is through an online course, since it will provide you with all of the material and practice you need to pass the exam. I recommend the School of PE online course, you here is the link to their courses! bit.ly/rob-lerch
