I enjoyed this video. I am 65 and I'm taking my PE exam next Tuesday. I Finished my degree December 1983 almost 40 years ago. The first time I took the PE exam was 1993 in California. I passed the engineering law, the Surveying, but I failed the national exam and the seismic. I have taken the PE exam in New Mexico and Texas. I feel good this time, that I will pass the exam.
PPI2Pass offers a variety of online practice exams for the PE construction exam. These exams are also timed and include a variety of question types. You can find them here: bit.ly/PPIPROMON
So I've seen different information on how "mixed" the questions are for breadth and depth topics. Can you confirm that despite there still being a possibility of mixed questions, there is still a general focus on breadth topics for the first half, and depth topics for the second half? In the video Nabeal gives the impression that there was still a breadth section and depth section despite previously saying that questions might be mixed. Thanks
So I emailed NCEES to clarify this. The question I asked was: Are these two "sections" still focused on breadth topics for the first half, and depth topics for the second half? They responded with: "Yes, the PE Civil exam is a breadth and depth examination. The breadth items cover topics from all five areas of civil engineering. The depth items focus more closely on a single area of practice. The handbook and design standards will be available the entire exam, though design standards are not needed for the breadth portion. "
@weslycenterwall Indeed, it is true that exams can vary, and no two individuals' exams will be exactly the same. This means that there is a possibility of encountering a mix of different types of questions on the exam. It is also possible that some exams may follow a structure where breadth questions are presented in the first half, followed by depth questions, or vice versa. The specific arrangement of questions can vary from one exam to another. It is essential to be prepared for both breadth and depth topics to ensure comprehensive readiness for the exam.
@nehemiahstewart Yes, if you don't pass one section of the PE Exam, you will have to retake both sections. The PE Exam is a two-part exam, and you must pass both sections within a five-year period in order to become a licensed professional engineer. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, some states allow you to retake the section that you failed without having to retake the other section. Additionally, some states have reciprocity agreements with other states, which may allow you to transfer your PE license from one state to another without having to retake the exam. To find out more about the specific requirements in your state, you should contact your state engineering board.
Not really a secret...Just need to read the information provided. From NCEES Exam Guide: Exam Format The exam is divided into two sections. You’ll be given the entire exam time at the beginning of the test. There are no individually timed sections, so manage your time accordingly. After you see approximately half of the questions, you will be prompted to review and then submit them. You will no longer have access to those questions after you submit them. You will then have the option of taking a scheduled break (see next section). Manage your time accordingly to ensure that you have plenty of time to complete the remaining questions.
Hello. Thanks for your input. A lot of engineers we have talked to does not know that they can use the extra time in the afternoon session, thus the reason we created this video to help raise awareness of this important point.

Can we have episode on Pe CSE
Thank you for the suggestion! We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration for future episodes.
Would I have to retake both sections if I don't pass one of the two sections?
