4th attempt. 2nd this year. Thank you to everyone in this sub who helped! What I did to finally pass:
I was so anxious this morning and wasn’t sure if I was going to pass. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! On to bigger and better things.
Resources I used:
PPI course: I used this from late 2025 to early 2026 (4 months). I wouldn’t recommend it unless you feel you need to relearn the basics or have failed more than twice.
Mark Mattson: I rewatched his videos after my third fail (first this year) on subjects that I did poorly on for that attempt (Dynamics, Statics, Mechanics of Materials, Transportation)
PrepFE: This is a go to for anyone. I used PrepFE a lot starting about 2-3 weeks from my test. Here’s a referral link if anyone cares to use it: https://www.prepfe.com/?referral\_token=43d9a07c-1126-4a18-adfa-cc41b1c3a1cc
Civil Practice Exam (KTS): This group posted a $10 practice exam on this sub. It was on the basic side but it allowed me to feel confident on the basic aspects of each subject. I took this and reviewed every problem about 5 days from test date.
Civil Practice Exam (NCEES 2024): I wasn’t able to complete this exam. But I finished and reviewed as many as I could before test date (about half the exam)
Thanks again to everyone for any advice they’ve given in this sub. I will celebrate this result and soon look at steps to begin studying for my PE :)
