PPI review course for PE exam

Buy the study material, or reference books, and do it yourself. I'd be embarrassed if I couldn't relearn that information on my own. Reference books are probably your best bet, they'll look good on your shelf as well.

Too late to do it this year, but the $1500 TestMasters class out of LTRC basically guarantees you pass, and will let you retake their class should you not pass. Most people I know do no studying outside of that class and pass.

I'm just gonna study myself with the review book this summer

The morning questions (water,geotechnical, etc) are pretty basic and not very in depth. I was in the same shoes as you, mainly doing structural work and hardly any civil work. I just did all the problems and sample tests I coukd to review the morning material. The CERM is your best friend for that portion of the exam. I found most of the answers to those questions could be found right out of that manual. The afternoon part (structural) was a little more difficult and the questions were more in depth. Good luck!

if you don't take the class (which is fine), somehow you need to get a copy of a large number of practice problems/solutions (this is the main value of the classes IMO). decided to skip out on the class, and studied on saturdays on my own for 2 months reviewing old reference manuals and theory. i would never have passed except for someone lending me their copy of the practice problems from a class. which i only borrowed the tuesday before the PE.

i worked practice problems 12 hours/day the two days before the test and i learned about 10x as much as i had from all the reference material reading i had done over 8-9 wknds combined. i really don't think i would have passed otherwise. if i'd known better i'd have just spent 3-4 wknds doing the practice problems instead of 8-9 reading old textbooks. good luck.

At the time I prepared (for ME) the ME dept at LSU was doing an evening prep class which wasn't very good, but better than nothing.

MERM (from PPI) was my primary reference and practice resource. You could pass the exam I took with that book alone.

The sample questions/answers from NCEES were the best practice problems I used for preparation.

I don't have any experience with Structural but PPI's materials are very good.
