By far the best review and in-test reference book for the civil PE

2008-07-28
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.

Good luck!

The 9th Edition CERM contains practice problems in it but no solutions. This book contains the same problems as those shown in the 9th Ed. CERM, and also contains the solutions. However, the solutions do not always give a clear indication as to why the method was chosen to solve the problem. Sometimes an equation is manipultated to solve the problem but the explanation is left out as to why that equation works, which leaves you to look through another reference book to confirm that it does or else believe the author but remain uncertain how he arrived at the new manipulated equation. There are definitely other reference materials out there that are better study guides and make better use of one's study time.
