I took the WR afternoon session and the questions in the test were nothing of the magnitude in this book. The problems in this book were WAY harder than the actual PE. While studying with this book, I was constantly frustrated by not making the same assumptions the author did in order to solve a problem. No assumptions on the PE, mind you, other than standard weights, measures, etc. Get the sample problems from NCEES instead - very much worth the money!

I'm taking the PE exam in April 2007.

This book provides a good variety of challenging problems.

But I reported errata in addition to those listed at PPI website. Such quality is disappointing, expecially for a 3rd printing of the same edition.

Without errata, I would rate this book a 5.

The review manual has been very helpful in preparing for the exam so far. It has many problems with complete worked out solutions that are very helpful. I would recommend it to anyone preparing for the PE exam.

Was not the slam-dunk study tool I'd hoped. I would not recommend this book. Just use sample exams from NCEES to study with.

Helped me pass... on my 2nd try... but still a very VERY useful way to study!

This book will let you know where you stand. I had a lot of trouble with the problems the first time through. The book served as a good evaluation of my weak areas. I would recommend this as a PE exam study aid.

Graet book with broad covering topics.
I couldn't logically understand answers with some problems.

If your taking the tranportation Depth this is an excellent review book. It covers topics reflective of the NCEES description of the transportation Depth (except that part about Hydraulics/Hydrology and Culvert part and Geotechnical part). The only drawback with this book is that some of the problems are on the a bit easy compared to practice problems for CERM and NCEES sample examination, which may give you a false sense of security when preparing for the PE. The problem solutions are easy to follow and tells you where to locate (in terms of HCM2K and AASTHO Grn book).
