The Essential Guide to Passing the Construction Civil PE Exam Written in the Form of Questions: 160 CBT Questions Every PE Candidate Must Answer

This book is one of the most practical resources I used for the Construction Civil PE exam. The question-first format is perfect for CBT prep because it forces you to think the way the exam asks, not just memorize formulas. The problems cover a wide range of topics and difficulty levels, and they do a great job highlighting common traps and the exact skills you need under time pressure. What I liked most is how efficient it is: you can quickly identify your weak areas, drill them, and track improvement. It’s also a great supplement to any main course (EET/PPI/School of PE) because it adds realistic practice and keeps you in “exam mode.” If you’re serious about passing, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

I recently bought this book and it is a game changer at least for me. I did find many new topics that I did not find when I previously studied for this exam. I did rely on other resources and did not make it, but a friend recommended that I use this book and big thank you to him and to the writers of this book. This recommendation made all the difference. The explanation in this book were very clear and the book had many details and scenarios and case studies and they all are helping me understand the material behind them. Really my friend recommendation was spot on and I would like to pass this recommendation to others if any like me was looking for good quality material to study from!

This book covered a lot of material for me and things that I did not even know about and important that appeared in my test!

This book is an outstanding resource for anyone preparing for the PE Civil Construction exam. It’s thorough, well-structured, and provides clear explanations of key concepts. The content is directly aligned with the exam topics and includes practical examples that make complex concepts easier to grasp. Whether you're just starting your preparation or reinforcing your knowledge, this book is a must-have. It’s been incredibly helpful in building my confidence for the exam. Highly recommend it to fellow PE candidates!

This book is very straightforward and gets right to the point. The question-based format makes studying feel more practical and focused. It closely matches the CBT exam style, which is extremely helpful. The explanations are clear and easy to follow. I like that it highlights common problem types you’re likely to see. It’s well-organized and easy to reference specific topics. The difficulty level feels realistic, not overly simplified. It works well as a supplement to other study materials. The practice questions help build confidence over time. It’s especially useful for identifying weak areas. The paperback format is easy to carry around. It doesn’t waste space with unnecessary fluff. Overall, it’s a solid study resource for serious candidates. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone preparing for the PE exam.

This book is incredibly useful, especially if you are specialized in one area and you want to do construction. It provides a solid overview of other roles within the field. The book is well organized and easy to navigate. It is like a comprehensive guide to the topics covered in the Construction depth Civil PE Exam. This author’s material is essential for the exam preparation.

This book covers many construction topics and also other required topics in an organized fashion. It certainly looks like the authors made a considerable effort gathering all this information and putting it in one book. The answers are also very detailed so in case you knew the answer you can just move on, but if you were new to the topic you can read more about it in the book and understand the concept behind it. I like how the authors included extra hydraulics and hydrology questions because we who work in construction sometimes we do not have this background! Overall I recommend this book… go get it if you are studying like me

Not what I would call a review guides Just a bunch of questions. Basically another practice exam.
