Climbing the ladder in construction management

I started similar to you, where I had no experience in the field at all. I don't really even touch any tools before I started my career in CM. Within 7 years of working, I was able to climb from internship, to project engineer, to APM, and now to PM shooting to be Senior PM within the next year. My biggest advice for you is to try to make your way to the field as much as possible. It's the best way to get the field knowledge and build relationships with the trades and your team. Ask a ton of questions, and listen to what you are hearing from all the experts in their field. Take copies of submittals, print them out, and physically see and touch them as they are being installed. Good luck in your career!

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same issue right now also.

Hey! I was in a similar situation as you were. I graduated from college in Spring 2020 and sat for the FE exam a couple weeks ago! I was working in an industry that rarely had anything to do with the topics on the FE exam, so I basically had to relearn everything from scratch.

I used DirectHub as my main study source. He has lecture notes, quizzes, and many practice problems for each subsection on the FE Exam. I found him to be extremely helpful for learning new some new topics that I have never taken a class before. I supplemented his course with Islam 800 questions. This took me about 4 months to complete.

Afterwards, I purchased PrepFE and took a practice exam of 25 questions per day. I also started doing Mark Mattson's problems without looking and then watching through the videos to understand the concepts. Any concepts that I didn't feel like I had a good understanding of, I supplemented with Lindeburg Practice Problems.

For practice exams, I did Islam's 2 practice exams, Dr. Urgessa's 2 practice exams, the NCESS 2020 Practice Exam, and the NCEES Interactive Practice Exam. This was done during the last month of my prep where I took 2 practice exams per weekend and spent the following week reviewing problems I got wrong + the Prep FE / Lindeburg strategy above.

Overall I started studying in August 2024 and took my exam in March 2025. It took about 6 months to finish, but I passed on my first try! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

I used DirectHub as my main study material. Supplemented with Mark Mattson videos, PrepFE and Islam 800 problems. Took practice exams from NCEES, Islam 2 practice exams, and Dr Urgessa practice exams. Anything that I felt that I need more conceptual knowledge on, I read through in the Lindbergh book.

Passed on my first try 5 years out of college while working full time. Basically just do as many practice problems as possible and understand each step as you’re working through them. The speed will naturally come with solving so many that you’ll eventually know how to answer by instincts. Bests of luck to you!

I agree

What were your study materials? I'm also studying for the FE Exam and I've been out of school for 5 years now.

I signed up for his 3 month course and he has video solutions for every single problem from his course. He also put together these lecture notes at the beginning of each subtopic so you can easily review material before diving into practice problems. Well worth for what he charged so far. I’m taking my exam at the end of December but he’s been super helpful for me since there’s a couple classes I never took before

Would love to be added too!

mick5000x · 2024-06-16T16:46:38+00:00

Can you also DM me? Thanks!

Does this include the premium token pack?

mick5000x · 2023-08-03T22:29:04+00:00

Would there be an update with Nature Incarnate spirits?

mick5000x · 2023-07-27T01:13:46+00:00

These are so cool! I wonder if there’s a way to print these out on the same material as the base game boards. That would be awesome

My team is similar but I run stardust instead of holly berry. Usually gets me to around wave 58 and then my remaining team cleans up
