From Architecture to Passing His Structural PE Exam with Justin Krishart, PE

From Architecture to Passing His Structural PE Exam with Justin Krishart, PE

🚨 Here’s another case that will blow your mind 👉 Imagine taking the Civil PE Exam 7 (seven!) times, each time with a different exam format…and all this without a civil engineering degree! 🤯

That’s exactly what today’s guest, Justin Krishart, PE, did! 😲

Justin graduated from Penn State with a degree in Architectural Engineering with an emphasis in Structures. Needless to say, he knew very little about what’s covered in the PE Exam, except for Structural topics.

After failing both the paper-based and CBT PE exam in the old breadth-and-depth format six times, the April 2024 changes turned on the light at the end of the tunnel. 💡

This episode is an awesome story of perseverance with a big lesson every test-taker needs to hear — which is what kept him going when most people would’ve given up. 👷 💸

If you’ve found yourself failing this thing multiple times already, you need to listen to his journey!

How he managed to stay in the game even after feeling devastated by the past failures. What he found to be the most challenging part. How he prepared for this as if it were his second, part-time job. All the way to the resources he used that you can use too. 😉

  • Does an Architectural Engineering Degree Cover What's on the Civil PE?
