CEA - Is the Civil PE Exam Tricky with Daniel Reyes, PE

That’s a fact: The PE Exam can be tricky. Whether it’s a calculation-based or a theoretical question, we have to watch out for everything during the exam to make sure our answer is correct. Our guest today will tell you how to prepare for the exam and handle those subtle questions that can trick you into choosing the wrong alternative.

Daniel Reyes is a structural engineer currently working at a consulting firm in Columbus, Ohio. He’s just beaten the exam’s low pass rates for repeat takers after enrolling in the Ultimate Civil PE Review Course, taking the PE Exam for the third time in April, and passing it. For all those who have failed the exam before, you can do this!

In today’s episode, Daniel and Isaac explain the importance of crushing the morning portion of the exam (and how it can help you in the afternoon portion), teaches you how to handle those questions you may not know how to solve, as well as the best resources and study habits you can have to set yourself up for success. And there’s more…Tune in to find out!
