  • Must Have
    Although the problems in this book are MUCH harder than the actual PE Exam, it is an excellent study tool to cover all types of problems. The chapters match up to the Reference Manual and make it easy to look up problems you don't understand. I passed the exam 1rst try only studying this book and reviewing the reference manual.
  • Everything you need, all in one place
    Just took the PE exam yesterday, and all I brought was this book and Lindeburg's reference manual. I used these two books exclusively to study, and found that they were sufficient to prepare me for what was on the test. I attribute this to the quality of the books and not to any pre-existing knowledge, because I was not a civil engineer in college, nor have I taken a PE review course.
  • By far the best review and in-test reference book for the civil PE
    By far the best review and in-test reference book for the PE. Didn't have to use any other book really for the civil PE national exam. Passed the first time. It even came a little bit in handy for the California survey exam, and to a little lesser extent the seismic. But overall a great reference book for the 8-hour. I still use it every so often at work to this day.
  • Tough problems that help you learn
    I've just started to use this book and the problems are tough! I thought my chances on the PE exam were quite bleak, but the goal of the book is to expose you to very difficult complex problems so that when you get to the exam you breeze through. I appreciate this method a lot and am sure to have the confidence to take on the exam. In comparison to the NCEES sample questions, I would consider this book the much better buy. The NCEES sample questions are good to have but these practice problems are a better way to prepare. <br /> <br />Good luck!
