Practice PE Exam Questions (Civil Structural)

[cal91]

I know there's been a lot of posts about PE exam advice, but that's not my intent. I searched previous posts and couldn't find much, so...

On a limited budget, I am looking for any free PDF or links of practice PE (Civil Structural) exam questions.

If you know of anything, could you please let me know?

Thanks in advance!

You can get a lot of things for free, but it may not be worth anything. There is really no way to pass that thing on a "limited" budget. You have to have the codes they require for the test. NCEES sells practice exams, and PPI has good study references.

I have the CERM and all the pertinent codes, I'm not asking about those.

I want to practice using the materials I already have (CERM + codes), by solving practice questions.

I have already gone through the NCEES practice exam a couple times, which was very helpful. Thanks.

A lot of it depends on you're test taking ability. I bought the NCEES practice exam, looked through it once or twice and didn't feel the need to study for the exam. My suggestion would be to look through some of your old textbooks since those are basically the types of problems you're trying to solve.

The CERM has worked problems in it so try that and switch values and solve the problem for something else. Same for the practice exam.

PCI Notes on ACI 318 is the only truly free one that comes to mind. I suppose the AISC steel design examples as well as if you have the manual then you should have access to the example PDF.

Ask your local ASCE chapter if anyone has the practice exams etc that you could borrow.

Please remember: we're not all guys!
