Right my bad.


I've heard from some people that only a small percentage was stuff they learned on the job. Which is why I'm considering taking it. But it sound like your experience as different? I know it's quite a bit if time and money to devote, but I could retake once I graduate or wait the 4 years.


It's that it get ahead on my thesis over the winter break

I would say much more was stuff I learned in school over my job. I took Construction depth in Civil.

I had a BE undergrad but took some EVEG classes. All the water related questions I found were similar to classes at LSU. The rest of the exam topics I all learned on the job.

The hardest part about the exam is staying focussed for 8 hours honestly.
