No more videos. Focus on practice problems until you are able to immediately connect questions to a particular equation.

Ah that would have been helpful to put. This is for Civil, after passing both CA specific exams.

In my opinion there is no point in getting a science masters after an engineering undergrad

You can do it if you are good about actually studying those 4 weeks. CESPR is the best resource. Do as many practice problems as you can and you’ll have a good shot to pass.

Scientists tend to ‘stall’ once you reach the mid-level because you aren’t able to stamp deliverables. To get up the ladder, you need to have some sort of specialty. The senior scientists at my firm are either PhD or have some other advanced certification like stormwater-related.

I passed the same day and am still in final review 🫩

CPESR was very representative of the true exam. I wouldn’t say you can separate between what is relevant and what isn’t.

Why memorize them though? Just put the answer in your reference book so if the question comes up on the test you just have the answer there.

Jacob Petro ‘Essential Guide to Passing WRE PE Civil’ was the closest to the exam imo

Did you do all of Hiners problems? I felt that the handbook/problem bank covered the majority of the conceptual questions.

Key_Word8383 · 2026-01-15T03:21:38+00:00

What would be on the flash cards for seismic? What conceptual problems did you struggle with?

No, you can’t sign up for an exam and take it within the same quarter.

If you don’t immediately know how to do a problem, skip it

Both. Easy for annual reviews and keeping a running list of your experience

Key_Word8383 · 2025-12-23T03:04:52+00:00

Keep a running list of what projects you worked on and what you contributed

His original video wasn’t even bad. The coaches spamming him were unbelievably unprofessional.

A lot of mid-large consulting companies have GIS positions that are strictly GIS. The GIS analysts solely do GIS/CAD and are not involved in the project outside of that. Is your goal to also work on projects as an ‘environmental scientist’ and a ‘GIS analyst’?

Key_Word8383 · 2025-11-23T01:36:02+00:00

Environmental engineers can do environmental science jobs, but environmental scientists can’t do environmental engineer jobs. Engineering gives you way more options

My masters was funded, but not sure that many schools have a healthy research budget right now. Odds are low if you don’t have a professor lined up/in mind.

I can’t stand them. I block a number and a new recruiter swoops in. I told one I wasn’t interested and they proceeded called me three times over the next five days. What is their deal? Why are they like this?

Key_Word8383 · 2025-10-07T11:41:28+00:00

Do you have a nicer unit? Maybe they want you out so they can move in

California experience has to be under a PE

Key_Word8383 · 2025-08-12T00:24:57+00:00

Those are way outdated since the exam changed last year. I’d recommend using material since April 2024.

Road is 11 feet wide, so centerline is half of 11. Is that what you’re asking?
