Hi,

I am interested in the Six Minute Solution books.
Are they still available? What editions are these books and their condition?

Let me know,
Thanks

I have just sold the geotech & transportation ones. I still have left: enviro & water resource. Both in good condition. I am unaware of there being multiple editions. These ones are not marked as such. Inside cover says 3rd printing of this edition. If interested, email me at
jillianmaki@yahoo.com
I prefer paypal, but will take a money order & will mail upon receipt.

I'M WONDERING DID YOU GET PPI2PASS/KAPLAN CATALOG IN THE MAIL BEFORE YOU RECEIVED YOUR PASSING LETTER? THANKS!

On another message board that I read there were people writing in after having received catalogs & no results yet. I didn't get any though, and still haven't.

ALL ITEMS HAVE SOLD, THANKS & GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!

Trying to get an honest answer on whether or not people have found the Civil Engineering Problem-Solving Flowcharts helpful. Thanks in advance for any input.

I found it helpful to use in the beginning of my review. It helped me re-learn the problem solving steps of topics like structural, transport. etc.., that I hadn't seen much of since college. All in all, a good starting point....would I rifile through during the exam..probably not, I just felt more confident on the big day with the CERM or a text book dedicated to the topic I was answering.

That makes sense. Thanks a lot.

Curious, why and when did you decide not to take the construction module? I'm trying to decide between construction and structural for this October.

I decided during the test after the morning session. I realized after the AM that I was more confident with WR than I was in construction. I had been back & forth during my review, as none of the topics are that close to my experience. I do some hydro/drainage design, so when push came to shove, I felt that my experience was enough to chose it over construction. I also started my review with the intention of doing WR, so I focused more of my review time on it. In April (a few weeks prior to exam) I did the Rajapake book which is supposed to be enough to prepare you for the construction afternoon. It seemed simple enough, so I switched gears & thought I would give that a go instead. After a few practice exams the week of the exam, I realized that the Rajapake book is NOT an in depth enough source for the PM session. Unfortunately, I skipped reviewing enviro after choosing construction, so I was pretty unsure that I had passed. I guess if I had to do it over, I would have looked through all of the practice exams available (NCEES are easier than PPIs, so look at both), and base you decision on that.
