If you are preparing for the PE exam in civil engineering, the following
suggestions may help.
Find out the current edition of this book. You might be reading this book long
after it was published. Newer editions mean that the codes, standards, and
regulations on which the exam is based are not represented in the older
edition,that the exam body of knowledge has changed, and/or the exam format and
policies have changed. Older editions are no longer appropriate for the current
exam, and it is not reasonable for you to expect an older edition to serve your
needs when it is out of date.
Become intimately familiar with this book. This means knowing the order of the
chapters, the approximate locations of important figures and tables, what
appendices are available, and so on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for the PE exam
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2016
If you're reading these reviews undoubtedly you know what this is and why you need
this for the Civil PE exam.
That said, as far as I can tell this is pretty much the only comprehensive
reference available for the exam so rather than talk more about the CERM itself I
wanted to break down some things that helped me use the manual to study and pass
the PE exam the first time:
1) Download and print out a copy of the index for the CERM from the PPI website,
bind it separately, and use that to look stuff up while studying and taking the
exam to avoid constantly flipping around in the manual between the index and the
chapters. Saves lots of time and aggravation working from multiple places in the
CERM. I learned this from people in my review class and never would've thought of
this on my own which is why I wanted to share it here.
2) For the most used equations, write the constants and such in the margins next to
the equations. Highlight the equations to make them pop from the columns of text in
the book. This did a few things for me: familiarize me again with the equations and
constants, help me remember how to use the equations, and also save me time looking
for constants in the back or whatever. I did this the month before my review class
started, helped me find what's in the manual too before I got into the heavy duty
working of problems during my review class for hours on end.
3) Tab everything possible. The exam is all about speed (~5 min/question...) so
make sure you can find what you need real fast. I used a combination of heavy duty
tabs with paper inserts and the sticky flags. I color coded the tabs by topic and
tabbed my manual as follows: tabs across the top for tables of data (e.g. water
demands per capita per day, wastewater production per capita per day, etc), tabs
down the sides for specific topics/equations (e.g. shallow foundations, water
hammer, that CM workflow diagram whose name escapes me right now, etc), tabs across
the bottom for the reference tables in the back (e.g. head losses for specific
fittings, moments of inertia for generic shapes, the Ten State's regs, etc).
Seemed to work real well, I probably had a few too many flags/tabs but I only
needed to use the index to find something a few times during the exam so I guess I
did okay there. I left all my tabs and flags in the CERM after finding out I passed
since it makes the book look real salty and reminds me of the pain I went through
studying and taking the exam.
Bottom line here: Know what's in the book and where to find it. The morning exam
was pretty much straight out of the CERM and my review class, quite literally 95%
of the questions were pure muscle memory from using the CERM to study. The PM exam
was the similar but about 25% of the questions couldn't be answered out of the CERM
and needed an outside reference (master's level stuff in my opinion and I don't
have an MSCE so I just did what I could and guessed the rest).
4) Use the CERM as much as possible while studying. I know this sounds obvious but
I first attempted studying with stacks of textbooks from engineering school in
addition to my CERM and quickly realized it would never work. You need to become as
familiar as possible with the CERM if you want a ghost of a chance of passing, and
you'll be amazed what's in there if you look. Also, you will not have time to flip
around between 20 books during the exam so just get used to using the CERM as much
as possible while studying. Heck, sleep with your CERM if you have to and take it
with you to lunch. Remember, there are many CERMs but this one is mine, without my
CERM I am nothing, without me my CERM is a monitor stand.
For the exam, I only brought in my trusty marked up and tabbed CERM, my open
channel hydraulics book, and my (undergrad) geotech book along with my notes and
sample problems from my review class. I spent probably 80% of my time in the exam
using the CERM, my other references were nearly useless save for some rando oddball
questions I was able to find during my spare time to get some extra points. The
CERM and a few other things were enough to get me through the WR exam and I am
neither a water resources engineer by practice nor the kid from Good Will Hunting.
5) Take a review class if at all possible. I was fortunate to find one an hour away
on Saturdays. It helped me get into the mode of studying a lot (I kept records and
including 56 hours of class I spent about 250 hours preparing for the exam over
about 3.5 months, did nothing the two weeks before the test due to burnout and a
work trip during which I was not going to study in the hotel at night), helped me
realize I wasn't the only one fighting my way through the pain and misery, and
helped me learn enough to get by in areas that I had little to no college
coursework on (e.g. transpo, econ, etc). The review was kinda costly but I figure I
got off cheap passing the PE the first time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Before I get super critical of this book
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017
Verified Purchase
I am currently studying for the PE (structural depth) (might update after I take
the exam), and am also taking a dedicated PE course (EET webinar, in case anyone
was interested).
Before I get super critical of this book, its worth mentioning that there does not
exist a better alternative that I know of (maybe I should write one). The book is
expensive, but given the relatively low demand for such material, I can understand
the cost. Also, I will probably keep it after I finish the exam, rather than resell
it, but I haven't decided yet.
With that being said, I do not like the book as a whole and I think it can be done
better. The book is not a sufficient reference for the PE exam. I think it gives
enough information for 75% of the breadth, but it misses a lot of finer details. It
is doesn't even get close to being a reference for the depth, and neither does the
"SE reference manual" that Lindbergh sells (for the structural depth).
Lindbergh gets on a soapbox at the beginning of this book about how this book has
MORE information than you need to pass the exam, and how he doesn't think the PE
doesn't sufficiently cover all the information an engineer should know to be a
practicing engineer. I whole-heartily agree with him on that point, but his book
fails to deliver. This book, while it covers all the topics that will appear on the
exam, often fails to provide necessary equations or logical steps needed to solve
such problems. Some necessary information is just plain missing. Lindbergh provides
too much information where its not needed, and not enough information where it is
needed.
For example, in the hydrology section (I'm using hydrology as an example because
I'm currently re-reviewing that material), you tell us about the different methods
for estimating average rainfall, but don't give the equations or logical steps to
solve using these methods. Also in hydrology,
In soils, you don't adequately describe the soil testing procedures (i.e. how they
are performed or equations that give the various parameters they provide). Your
soil phase relationship equations (i.e. the nomenclature) doesn't match those that
are industry standard.
For a ~$300 book that is supposed to be a complete reference for the PE exam, I
would like to see the following:
1.) Summary of equations at the beginning of each section. Quit milking us for
money by selling a separate (and poorly reviewed) equation book. Just include this
at the beginning of every section.
2.) Format the book to better fit the format of the exam. This is readily available
on the NCEES website and hasn't been changed in a few years. If you truly want this
book to be a PE reference manual, then you should follow the format NCEES provides.
Environment Engineering isn't even part of the NCEES breadth, so why would the
reference manual cover it and all related topics (such as chemistry)?
The chapters don't follow the format of the NCEES exam either - they should.
3.) Again, certain topics need to be expanded upon while others need to be cut or
or at least made more brief.
You could cut out ~1/3 of this book for the stuff that doesn't even appear on the
exam, let alone the excessive background information that you don't need (nor will
have time to browse during the exam).
So for those reading, you will definitely need a course to pass the PE. You should
not rely on Lindbergh's book as your sole PE reference for the breadth.
As a water-resources depth taker, I probably did NOT need the latest version. The
math is the same and there are no real "codes" to update for that section. I used
this book exclusively, with additional review course notes, and one wastewater book
from college.

5.0 out of 5 stars I passed
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019

Well I passed.
Don’t read the book. Take a bunch of practice tests and then tab out the book from
those questions. Also tab the book from the PE outline for whatever test you’re
taking.
Overall, I don't mind these minor issues as what I needed is the content of the
book to able to pass the exam. kudos to Lindeburg!
