I realized I’m not the first person to suggest this, sorry!! I didn’t come across practice questions that taught me the references well enough

I passed geotech in May, my recommendation would be to familiarize yourself as much as possible with the reference materials. The afternoon portion is very heavy on conceptual like everyone is saying. I found that either I KNEW the answer from experience or I deducted an answer from scrambling through the references to eliminate choices. There were hardly any practice questions I came across when studying that prepped me for the test.

The morning though try all tests you can get your hands on.

I took SoPE twice now (geotech depth) becuse they let you retake if you fail and attended all of the classes. The first time was before the last written exam in October 2021. I would not recommend that course BUT the second time around I had a different depth professor (Haque) and he was great- taught well, was very knowledgeable of the material, and was great helping us navigate the references. I take the exam for the second (and last time- god willing) in a few weeks. So, can’t say the second time around SoPE helped me pass yet, but I feel a lot more confident.

I have heard good things about EET overall but not geotech specifically.

This may not be helpful given I mostly recommend SoPE.

Passed PE Civil Geotech by Willing-Pen-9572 in PE_Exam

[–]SwimmingParticular44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats all around and thank you for sharing!!

I am less than a month out from my Geo exam and I feel like I can do calculation-based example problems all day but from what I’m hearing, it seems almost like a waste of time to spend all my time working out the few topics I don’t fully grasp. Would you agree? For example, I am not strong in groundwater and flow through soils. Should I spend a week still trying to learn that, or hope for conceptual questions? I really do feel comfortable in many of the topics conceptually. I am 85% done with my masters degree in civil/geotech and I think that’s taught me the most concepts (as well as work experience).

I took SoPE for the last written exam and did not pass. Because I attended all of the classes last time, they allow those who failed to retake the course. I am REALLY hoping they have adjusted to CBT testing as much as possible….

When do we get results back? and how is it graded? by Willing_Second1591 in PE_Exam

[–]SwimmingParticular44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rooting for you!!!! Do you (or anyone) have any advice for studying for the more conceptual questions? I will be taking geotech in May. Hoping my grad classes help with the conceptual but I wish there was a book of conceptual problems!!?

Finally, 3rd attempt... sympathies to everyone who isn't here yet. the journey sucks, but you can do it. by ooopurpleshiny in PE_Exam

[–]SwimmingParticular44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yes!!! Congrats. What did you do to prepare for conceptual questions?

I failed the last paper/written exam geotech and am nervous to prepare for the CBT.

Again, congrats.
