While the PM portion of the PE exam can be considered difficult because it dives deep into someone’s knowledge about a specific discipline of civil engineering, the AM portion can be just as challenging since it mixes up questions from all five major areas. Therefore, getting ready for the breadth portion of the PE exam is of crucial importance. Today, Isaac details the most common and best resources that will definitely help you out with your breadth exam.
Starting with the ever-present and always recommended books, such as the Civil Engineering Reference Manual (CERM)— which is now called the PE Civil Reference Manual— and Dr. Goswami’s All-in-One books, Isaac details the particular features of each of them, pointing out not only their positives and negatives but also how some of them can be used simultaneously with another one to help you build a study schedule. Furthermore, he also details some features of the newest guy in town, the PE Civil Exam Review Guide: Breadth, by School of PE. This one offers a new perspective on how PE materials could look like and their integration with technology by using plenty of QR codes scattered throughout the book in order to enhance our interaction with the material being studied.
If you’re about to take the PE exam soon, this episode is for you! It contains a lot of pro tips on how to pick the best resources that work best for you, but also on how to integrate theory and practice while studying so that you can ace the AM portion of your exam.
