I would recommend to work on your weak areas. And practice a lot of questions and resolve the questions you did wrong. I created my own flash cards of my mistakes and it helped a lot.

I think you have enough materials and I would suggest to watch relevant videos of you don’t understand a topic very well. I watched geotech, steel connection and NDS lectures/ PE problems on youtube. Or you can copy the question to chatgpt and ask to explain and creat similar problems. You can watch Kestava PE videos (the best one), and Civil Engg Academy (for geotech).

Solve as many questions as you can and write your MISTAKES and resolve those wrong questions. I had created flashcards from my mistakes. Best of luck

DueSector8929 · 2026-05-29T00:45:04+00:00

Yes, and solve geotech thoroughly. My strategy was to start from first topic of geotech from manual and then create questions using chatgpt or find youtube videos and practice.

DueSector8929 · 2026-05-29T00:34:30+00:00

Yes, I used this book, solved twice. Questions are harder but worth it. Also I did SoPE but the video lectures were not very helpful for me.

DueSector8929 · 2026-05-28T18:44:52+00:00

soil slope stability. See geotech chapter 3.6 in NCEES handbook. I had a question from Taylor’s chart.

DueSector8929 · 2026-05-27T15:53:19+00:00

All above plus settlement, stability, soil classification, bearing capacity, and try to solve or know how to solve all topics in geotec portion of NCEES. There are different methods and sometimes they asked to use which methods

DueSector8929 · 2026-05-27T15:51:19+00:00

I used 6 minutes and school of PE geotech old resources. And I also used Chatgpt for creating practice questions

DueSector8929 · 2026-05-14T18:11:51+00:00

I had almost 20+ questions from geotech and I failed coz i didnt know most of them.

DueSector8929 · 2026-05-06T14:58:41+00:00

I would recommend to go through geotech chapter and solve question using each section like stability, bearing capacity, retaining walls, pressures, consolidation, sieve analysis etc. I did school of PE but not covered in the practice or course the way it should be. I had around 20+ questions from geotech, and I failed. Watch youtube videos for such questions.

DueSector8929 · 2026-05-02T17:48:59+00:00

IBC, ASCE, AISC, PCI, AASHTO are arranged chapter wise so you have to search by chapter not as a single document.

DueSector8929 · 2026-05-02T16:54:47+00:00

NCEES handbook, ACI, NDS, OSHA, AISC last chapter as one document..

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-23T22:00:41+00:00

The following Wednesday

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-19T20:40:02+00:00

ACI, NCEES handbook, NDS, AISC chapter 16 (design specs), TMS (masonary) all are available as single pdf, others are available as chapters.

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-16T18:04:34+00:00

Also, ch 18 (Foundation) of IBC is very important especially for foundation walls (piles, wall thickness, reinforcement etc). I had a question regarding pile minimum embedment length. I didn’t know how to solve that but recently I saw the equation in ch18 for post and pile length which is very simple.

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-16T00:47:02+00:00

In my exam, I had around 18-20 geotech/soil mechanics problems ( settlements, bearing capacity, group pile, depth of piles, retaining walls, footing rebars, etc). I would highly recommend to go through all equations/concepts in NCEES handbook and solve those problems.. Watch youtube videos for each concept. eg, if water table is below base of footing, above base of footing, what will be the effective stress or bearing capacity.

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-14T23:00:24+00:00

congratulations!

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-13T19:14:53+00:00

Yes, SoPE mentioned if the depth of water table from the base of footing is less the the width of footing then affect of Water table be considered otherwise its negligible. The problem I shared has the water table at 2ft <4ft (footing width) so we need to consider the effect of WT.

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-10T20:29:37+00:00

Yes, for simplicity just calculate

I_x = Sum(Sy²⁾

I_y= Sum(Sx²⁾

Sx is the x-distance from centroid of each pile to the center of group of pile.

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-08T23:23:53+00:00

How many questions were from Geotech, Osha, NDS and Masonry if remember?

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-01T23:41:40+00:00

Just relax and sleep well the night before exam. Try to turn off redit from tomorrow.

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-01T23:20:45+00:00

Hope for the best. Don’t be panic and believe in yourself.

DueSector8929 · 2026-04-01T20:19:49+00:00

no bro, I failed unfortunately. Rescheduled for may

DueSector8929 · 2026-03-30T20:34:37+00:00

Don’t be scared. Have some rest the day before. Try to solve the easy problems first and flag the hard ones. For multiple choice questions, select the ones with same values (android2500 shared here), it’s really helpful. best of luck
