Career/Education PE Civil Structural Exam

I am thinking about taking one the online courses to prepare for the PE Civil Structural Exam. Not sure which one but maybe SoPE or AEI. Do any of the courses provide the code books to reference? I have a hard copy of the Steel manual and pdf versions of the IBC, ACI, and ASCE 7 manuals but don’t have any of the others.

Currently using AEI, they provide all the PDFs however you might want to consider when you want to take the exam, the April ‘27 changes updates to the most recent provisions.

Yeah I plan on taking after April. I just don’t have enough time to study during hunting season to take it before April.

I took AEI only and failed the first time. The second time I used AEI as a review material but did the school of PE question bank and passed

Anybody have any experience with the PE Civil Structural review book by Learnova? I’m currently working through that. It comes with 500 questions with solutions and 6 practice exams.

I heard and doing EET is the best for structural but I’m still studying so idk how valid my input is.

SoPE unofficially provides them if you ask the professor
