Six-Minute Solutions For Civil PE Exam Structural Problems, 3rd Edition PDF

Six-Minute Solutions is essential when you're preparing for the civil PE exam's structural breadth and depth problems. These make up about 20% of the morning exam and 65% of the structural depth module. Structural questions also comprise approximately 20% of the geotechnical depth module.

The 100 practice problems in this book are designed to help you get your solving time down as much as possible. Six minutes per problem is the average amount of time you'll have on the exam. With practice, you can streamline your solving skills and perform your best.

There are 20 morning, breadth-style problems and 80 afternoon, depth-style problems, all in the same multiple-choice format as the exam. Every problem has a hint, which you can use if you need help getting started. In addition to the correct answer, each problem has three incorrect answer choices that are logical distractors, representing mistakes that are easily made in the solving process. Once you've solved a problem, you can compare your work to the correct solution process, which explains step by step how to reach the answer most efficiently. Also provided are the incorrect solutions based on the logical distractors, so you can see where common errors occur.

All topic areas in the structural module are covered. The introduction provides a description of the exam format, an explanation about the organization of the book, and information about how to best use the book to prepare for the exam efficiently.
