3.0 out of 5 stars Use NCEES practice exam also, April 14, 2001
Some of these practice problems are good, but if you really want to get a good feel for the exam, I suggest buying a sample exam from NCEES. It has half the number of problems (20 morning and 20 afternoon) of the actual PE exam and is in the same format.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have supplement but also need NCEES, October 25, 2003
By Amy K. Yu "Pak K. So" (WHITESTONE, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I took the exam today (10/24/03) and had this working along with the big Lindeburg Reference book. This is a great supplement to the big book. I took the structural afternoon session and flagged 2 problems that dealt with concrete design. I actually sifted directly to the problems I flagged in here instead of digging through the big book and I got the problem answered quickly.

Besides the basic structural questions, most of the problems in this guide are probably too involved. This is why as another review mentioned, I recommend you get the NCEES sample questions as well. That book is put out by the organization that is in charge of the PE exam and their problems are much more realistic to what you will be getting the day of the test.

One other thing to note...a lot of the transportation problems in this practice problems book refers directly to transportation codes such as HCM, AASHTO, etc. I would have liked it if some of these tables were in the Civil Eng. Ref. Manual so I wouldn't need a copy of the code everytime I wanted to study at home.

But I still say this is a must have.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Enough..., January 26, 2001
This book is a good starting point for studying/working problems for the Civil 8-hour exam. But--and this is a BIG 'but'--it is NOT ENOUGH material, nor is it really the appropriate level of difficulty for the test. It also doesn't offer enough problems, which is the same criticism I have with Lindeburg's big Reference Manual. These are a good item to have to *complement* other study materials, but don't try to use these alone...not that Lindeburg recommends that anybody do that.
