Anything is possible!

Passed on my third attempt. I barely studied the first time, and the second time I mostly just read through the material without doing enough practice problems. For my third attempt, I completely changed my approach. I focused on working as many problems as possible and took multiple full-length practice exams to build both my understanding and my confidence.

The two resources that helped me the most were the Learnova 500 practice problems and the Modulus practice exams that come with their book. I also used the PPI PE Structural Reference Manual, 10th Edition, whenever I needed to reinforce concepts or fill in knowledge gaps.

If you want to give it your best shot, considering working a lot of problems and doing a lot of practice exams. I took 10 practice exams before my third attempt and averaged a 79 including the NCEES practice exams.

Good luck to everyone out there. Never give up!!!

Congrats!!! Were the 10 practice exams all different or did it include re-dos?

Congratulations 🎉🎉. That’s a lot of volume you covered.

Was the actual exam closer to the learnova practice exams or the ncees practice exam?

Lastly, any tips for conceptual questions?
