Behind the Scenes: How Taylor Austin Mastered the PE Exam in CA!

Want to know how to pass the Civil PE Exam in 3 months or less? 🤔 Then this episode with Taylor Austin is for you! Not only did she do exactly that, but in this interview, she answers the most important question: How?!

Taylor is an Environmental Engineer who works at WSP doing environmental compliance work and has recently passed the Water Resources PE Exam.

After moving to California to work at the San Diego’s office, she had a small window to get the PE exam done before life in the new place started to happen…and off she went!

She crafted a 12-week study plan, blocked off her study time…and just started to grind it out.

She studied both before and after work. She went to her office on the weekends to study. She rehearsed the routine she would follow on exam day. She even tried to have the same snacks she would have on exam day! 😲

Crazy — or crazy-brilliant? 🤔

This is your opportunity to pick her brain and learn what works in a good exam prep, what doesn’t work, and how she balanced study with a full-time job that requires her to go out on the field quite often. 🎧

TUNE IN TO LEARN:

* What made she realize the PE license was the necessary next step

* How she used a Master’s and decoupling to take the PE earlier

* Her 12-week study plan to crush the PE Exam with a full-time job

* How she got her company to support her exam prep…financially

* 5 golden exam prep rules for everyone prepping for the PE
