Structural Engineering PE License Exam Prep

Pass the NCEES Civil PE exam's Structural specialty with a study guide built around how the exam actually works today: a single 80-question, 9-hour computer-based test drawing from five official NCEES knowledge areas. Structural Engineering PE License Exam Prep pairs concise, exam-focused theory with hundreds of worked practice problems across concrete (ACI 318-14), steel (AISC 360-16 / 15th edition Manual), wood (NDS 2018, allowable stress design), masonry (TMS 402/602-16), foundations, structural analysis, and seismic and wind design (ASCE 7-16).

Each chapter opens with a short, targeted refresher followed immediately by exam-style problems with complete, step-by-step solutions that show exactly where every number comes from. Two full-length, 80-question practice exams simulate real test-day timing and topic mix, building the speed, endurance, and code-navigation fluency the CBT format demands.

Written and reviewed against the exact design-standard editions NCEES currently references during the exam, so you study from the same material you'll be tested on — not outdated formats or superseded code editions.
