Tips for PE preparation: Civil Enginering

Tips for PE exam preparation: Civil Engineering


The FE Exam is three months away. If you are taking the FE in October now is the best time to start getting ready. Start with practice problems. There is nothing better for preparing for the test than to work problems similar to what you will find on the exam.

There are a lot of sources for practice problems. Search any book store for sample exams. You can also find several website with practice tests and sample problems. My favorite is eitexam.com. I especially like their 10 minute quizzes. It’s easy to find time to do a quick 10 minute quiz. It’s not so easy to find the time to do a four hour practice exam. They also have full instructions on how to work the problems and explanations why the answers are right or wrong. And finally they have both general exam and civil specific questions. All for only 15 bucks for three months.

That’s enough free advertising for now. Whatever method you choose, find one that works for you. Also find regular time to practice and study. Remember to get a copy of the Supplied-Reference Handbook from the NCEES website. The pdf version is free. Or you can have a paper copy mailed to you. You can check out the study material that NCEES sells as well. It’s not cheap, but hey, they wrote the test, so they know what’s on it.

Registration deadline is September 4th. Don’t wait until the last minute. The date may be different in your area. I’ve known people that had to wait until the next exam because they waited until the last minute to register and ended up being late.

Any other tips or strategies that you can think of? How about things that have worked for you, or things that didn’t?

  1. Civil engineering has seen sorts of revival in terms of number of students showing their interests in the branch. This can be largely owed to the so many number of infrastructure projects going on in the country at the same time. With these projects one can carve out a golden career filled with all challenges as well comforts one can wish for. To apply to the civil engineering courses one needs to be 10+2 pass out.

  7. Civil Engineering is the art and mechanism of directing the power of nature for use and convenience of man. It is an art to create the developed world around us. Civil Engineers plan, design, and supervise the construction of facilities essential to modern lives, offshore structures, bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, harbours, water supply system and wastewater treatment plants. A civil engineer is responsible for planning and designing a project, constructing the project to the required scale, and maintenance of the project. A civil engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering knowledge but also supervisory and administrative skills....https://www.educationasia.in/course-details/civil-engineering
