 a must have August 29, 2010
Alberto
If you want to pass the PE, you absolutely want to acquire this book (and study of course)... the samples provided here are very similar to the real test; you just gotta have it. Now, this is also a great reference for the everyday Engineer, I've used it several times after the test (3 years ago)

This book is a must have for civil engineers. I wish I would have purchased a copy when I was an undergrad. I find myself reading and reviewing topics from it almost every night as if it were a bible. It also introduces you to other must have references.

Neither have i received my shipment nor my money back even after 45 days of order placement. This seller is worse of all.
Excellent Reference for PE Exam and Work April 27, 2010
K. Recksiek (Illinois, USA)
This is an excellent reference for the Civil PE exam, both morning and afternoon. I took the Construction afternoon session, and still used this book extensively. The index is great, and I recommend printing out a separate copy and putting it ina 3-ring binder. You can then have the index open and be flipping through the book at once. This book is fairly technical, and there are only limited examples throughout, so it is difficult to use to learn a new subject or concept (especially during the PE exam). The All-in-One PE Exam guide was a better reference for learning a new concept on the spot, as it is simpler and easier to read (although not as detailed and with an inferior index to the CERM).
Overall, I took the CERM, the All-in-One, the Rajapakse Construction Module (worthless), the NCEES problems and solutions, and about half of the listed Construction design standards (I wish that I had had them all).
I would rate this book as a must-buy and must-take for the PE Exam.
Excellent reference for the PE exam April 25, 2010
J. Holst (NRV, Virginia)
I have an older version of this reference manual, and it was extremely helpful for review and for taking with me to the PE exam. While it is not the only manual you may need for the exam, I found it extremely helpful for more than half of my PE exam, especially the problems that I was not familiar with because they were from disciplines outside of mine. I still needed the problem solutions books in a few instances, and needed my discipline specific references for the afternoon part of the exam, but the CE Reference Manual is definitely a must-have reference since it consolidates the information for quick look-up during the exam. It's pretty much an essential for the AM part of the exam.
