CEA - How Much Preparation Do You Need to Study for the PE Exam?

We all know the PE license opens doors to a variety of possibilities in our careers, which also have their own indirect benefits in our personal lives. While we may decide to take the PE exam with an eye on its future benefits, most of us struggle with the basics: How much time do I need to put in every day? How should I organize my study time? And how many months before exam day should I start preparing for it?

In today’s episode, Isaac addresses these common concerns and provides guidelines and tools that you can follow and use in order to make sure your first step towards your PE license is not a misstep. Although the answers to the questions above may vary depending on what stage you’re at in your career and the nature of the work you do, he covers the golden basic rule we should all go for: focus on 3-4 months of preparation, putting in 250-350+ hours of theory and practice problems.

This rule will be like a compass guiding you in the right direction, but you don’t need to stop there. Joining a course, like the Ultimate Civil PE Review Course, can really put you ahead of the game by providing you with the exact topics you’ll be tested on the exam while also giving you access to tons of practice problems, a community of like-minded people going through the same process in which you can share your struggles and help other with theirs, as well as expert help from CEA team members. If you’re starting to prepare for your exam, this is a must-listen episode.
