Yes, although the questions and solutions are on-line, all content can be downloaded and printed.

How will I access the Practice Exams?

These are delivered in PDF format. You download the files, print them, and then take the exams under “exam conditions”. The detailed solutions will enable you to score your own efforts. The solutions will help you fix your mistakes. The timing is the key because it will prepare you for the unusual 4 hour format.

Why are the practice exams 2 hours when the real ones are 4?

You can try the 2-hour exams under timed conditions; or you can double up two exams to simulate the ‘real thing’. You can even set up a full day’s worth (4hours + 4hours) to get the complete experience!

If I participate in the video stream demos, do I really have to try the practice exams?

Dr. Peter T. Martin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:14:05 +0000

Yes. The PE Exam has an unusual format (two 4-hour exams in one day!) and timing will be critical. Taking the 2-hour practice exams will sharpen your exam technique. There are ten 2-hour practice exams with 20 questions in each, with new exams added recently. They cover all five disciplines.

Did you upgrade the site for the new 2008 exam format?

Dr. Peter T. Martin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:52:05 +0000

Yes – we developed new Construction Modules and other changes.

How long does it take to get through the material?

Dr. Peter T. Martin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:23:35 +0000

Some of you will be selective covering those areas that are your weaker points. But if you were to cover the entire course, it would take 30 to 40 hours of study. Take a look at the right side-bar on the home page where you’ll find a handy estimator. It takes the number of days between today and the exam, and gives you an estimate of the time youâ€™ll need to put in each day.
