1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother!, April 8, 1999

This review is from: Quick Reference for the Civil Engineering Pe Exam (Engineering Licensing Exam and Reference Series) (Paperback)

If you already bought the review manual, save your money! This is nothing more than a regurgitation of the text without the problems. If you have not purchased the review manual, its still not worth the money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not likely to be helpful on the exam, June 19, 2005

This review is from: Quick Reference for the Civil Engineering PE Exam (Paperback)

I purchased this book on the assumption that it would be a "quick reference" for the PE exam, similar to the quick reference NCEES provides for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Far from it. It is just a bunch of equations. None of the variables are defined for the equations. There are no useful tables. For example, everyone knows the equation for thermal expansion, but a table of expansion coeficients (not to mention other material properties), that would be helpful! but, of course, not included. I will conclude by saying that I am very disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars P.E. exam review, July 19, 2001

Bev (New Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quick Reference for the Civil Engineering Pe Exam (Paperback)

This book was most helpful in prearing for the comprehensive portion of the P.E. exam. I was able to answer most all general questions in the morning session of the new test. I did use the entire book and worked the problems in each chapter. I recommend additional references for your specific field of study, unless your field is water supply or structures. Both of these sections are extensive, particularly when using additional information from geotechnical chapters.
