Yameli Herschelman’s Journey to Passing the PE After 6 Attempts With CEA

Imagine failing the PE so many times that you decide your next attempt would be your last — pass or walk away. 😨 That was Yameli Herschelman’s reality…until one thing changed for her last try.

Originally from Venezuela, she came to the US for her Master’s degree in Transportation and dreamed of becoming a PE. After struggling with other review courses for her first five attempts, she turned to Civil Engineering Academy for her 6th attempt.

In simple words: the rest is history. 👷 ✅

This episode is packed with hard-earned lessons for repeat takers, from a six-time repeat taker herself who almost gave up on the goal of becoming a PE altogether.

We always say, the PE Exam is 10% technical knowledge and 90% grit. No matter how many times you’ve failed before, Yameli’s perseverance and mindset shift will inspire you to push forward.
