ETA: Have a question for y'all. So of about 9 people that I know who took the exam, 4/4 Transpo depths passed, 1/1 Cons depth passed, 1/3 struc passed, then both a Mech and Elec failed.
I've always heard Transportation was the easier depth. Is it silly to have taken the Structural depth in October, and then attempt the transportation depth in the spring. Only reason I took structures in Oct is because that's what my line of work was in.
What says the Engineers of the OT?
What'd you do for prep? I highly recommend the testmasters class if you didn't do that. That's the only prep I did, and I passed first time.
I work in construction management now, and took it in transportation anyway. The only real downside is that transportation requires the most reference material, and you want to have all of them to get the easy look up points. It was about $1300 worth.

I signed up for this online course and I don't have a bad thing to say about it. It was $1100 I think which was cheaper than other courses. They overnight you a binder (or two if you sign up for the morning and afternoon session) with all the course materials and formulas and hundreds of problems. During the course we took 4 practice exams. When I went to take the actual PE the only materials I used were the binders. Finished the morning exam in 2hrs and the afternoon in the 2.5. Great course and can't recommend it enough.

I ordered the Mechanical MERMS book, MERMS practice problems book, and NCEES practice exam. I read through the MERMS book and highlighted/tabbed. Worked more than the majority of the problems in the practice problems book and completed the NCEES practice exam. My thought process was that I wanted to do it on my own the first time and if I didn't pass then I would do a prep class. All that material was about $600.
