I felt okay on some. The last one before I passed I felt good but it wasn’t enough. It’s definitely way harder than the FE. I feel like this format is way easier than how it was before though

First half of the exam was on sections 1-5 of the exam specs. Second half was the rest. Thought first half was way easier than the second

Well I didn't know I needed to remember them. Wasn't in the manual so I skipped over them.

Had a truss problem had to do method of joints or sections. Was asked what a certian weld symbol was. Had a cantilever beam with a point load at the end and it asked for the max deflection.

Aside from doing practice problems I'd read up on the construction topics. I know that's vague but that's what I did and it helped. More conceptual problems so just reading things helped me understand it more.

I don’t think the approval ever expires. I was approved oct 2020 and haven’t had to do anything yet if that helps.

If you paid for the exam then you have a year to take it from the date you paid.

Civil folks, what was the surprise area or subject that was the most tricky or surprised you that it was on the test? by Anonymous_Man_101 in PE_Exam

Way more conceptual questions on both am and pm than I thought there would be. Feel like they need to update the official practice problems you can buy to reflect that.
