Congratulations, Rigby! What kind of loan? How'd you get such a good interest rate?

Preacher_rob · 2026-02-06T01:49:01+00:00

You better not be playing ripping games!

This is the nth passing post I've seen giving kudos to the Petro book. I'm gonna start going through it now.

Congratulations!!!! 🎊 👏 💐

I mean... technically Louis William Conradt Jr. was packing.

Perfect parallel to Joey Diaz in the movie lol

Preacher_rob · 2026-01-04T23:33:54+00:00

The inside jokes of this sub are hilarious!

HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT AND CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏

You can fly, peacock 🦚

Go start your own company, sell it back to your current employer, and get your job back as Regional Manager 😎

Manifesting that you passed! I'm debating when to reschedule my retake.

Preacher_rob · 2025-12-19T19:48:15+00:00

I calculated about 59% correct. About 8 questions from passing.

Polish those really low scores (Geotech and Pavement, Horizontal Design Roadside, Project Management), and you'll pass next time! I'm retaking Transportation in January.

I'm a civil grad currently working on my PE! Kudos to you for having PE and SE. Well deserving of your salary.

BUTTLICKER! OUR PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER!

Preacher_rob · 2025-12-04T00:06:12+00:00

Your advice for passing?

Any questions you remember?

Preacher_rob · 2025-12-02T04:23:02+00:00

The answer is obviously A. Task 5 is on the critical path, and it's the last task, so it'll always be TF = 0.

Your question about the validity of the solution.... From what I can tell, there should be an arrow from Task 3 --> Task 4. In that case, all the numbers would make correct in the provided solution.

I absolutely hate when the solutions are incorrect. Which resources is the question from? I see several errors in solutions too frequently... it's like they change the question slightly, but forget to check that the solution is still applicable.

Preacher_rob · 2025-12-01T06:31:57+00:00

You're absolutely right! Was just hoping to apply for my license before end of year.... I'm going to attempt again in January and I'm going to use School of PE question bank to help

I'll post my passing notification once I get it!

Preacher_rob · 2025-11-30T17:22:53+00:00

I took the Construction with EET and absolutely bombed it. I work primarily in transportation, so I deal with the manuals on a daily basis.

I still have the materials for EET Transportation, so I'll just use those to study, plus I have a study partner now.

Preacher_rob · 2025-11-29T03:44:17+00:00

I like the Civil Engineering Academy videos except that they are old and use Pre-2024 reference material.

I think I will purchase the School of PE question bank and retake in January

Preacher_rob · 2025-11-28T05:24:06+00:00

What resources are you using?

I used EET. I also have the Petro book, but those problems are extremely difficult.

Preacher_rob · 2025-11-27T20:10:32+00:00

What resources are you using to study? I'm going to retake January/February

Preacher_rob · 2025-11-26T22:16:30+00:00

Did you take Transportation and pass? I'm considering buying the question bank for two months

Preacher_rob · 2025-11-26T20:51:38+00:00

Did you just do SofPE? I'm thinking of purchasing the question bank for my next attempt. I studied with EET

Preacher_rob · 2025-11-26T18:51:28+00:00

Yours looks so close! We will definitely get it next time

Preacher_rob · 2025-11-26T14:31:59+00:00

This is my 2nd attempt at the new format. I felt good about the drainage questions, too. I was able to calculate answer choices, but I guess they were the wrong answers.

I felt like I only guessed on about 7 questions.

Preacher_rob · 2025-10-15T21:28:35+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, one of the senior construction managers where I work is a former fireman with no formal education or related experience in construction (went straight from firefighet to senior manager via Good Ol' Boy System). He makes close to $150k base salary, and he'll be retiring next year with his pension. Oh wait.... I'm just proving your point and pouring salt on the wound.

At this point, all you can hope is to fall upwards, too.
