    This. I'm writing it tomorrow and have been struggling all weekend to read through the material. Definitely feeling a little nervous because of it.

    BUMP for anyone doing the June writing. Any free study material aside from what is provided by Apega floating around any more?

    All of the old links in this thread are dead.

    TIA

    I wrote the NPPE exam in June, and passed... but I do have a few comments for people going to take the latest exams going forward.

    The exam has somewhat recently changed to a digital format and has more modern questions not mentioned anywhere in the older study materials you may find floating around. Some of the old stuff is still good, but it will make your life easier to have the newer study materials. At least, one of the guys I talked to after said it followed the new materials pretty closely.

    I did it the cheaper/more challenging way of just borrowing the law book to read, and downloaded all of the latest free codes/guides/etc. that are available (and then read through the documents referenced within those documents)... and I didn't get a sense that it followed them closely so much as it challenged you to decipher the info within.

    One other thing that I did was pay the $50-$100 to take the practice exam online through their 3rd party. I was glad I did as I found that of the few example questions in older guides that I had were answered/recorded incorrectly by some unknown engineer. Besides not having to worry about someone elses wrong answers, it's pretty cheap and gets you used to how you have to write the new exam.

    It's hard to say if the online version is different than the previous tests because most people pass it their first time. When I took the study materials from earlier years and took the last paper test, it was different but the general type of questions were very similar. I'd say the past materials were great. I'd say if you were going to get the APEGA exam, get your employer to pay for it along with the ethics test.

    The old study materials were still decent, but the primary study info I've seen get passed around is 12-15 years old. I can tell you from the recent test, the basic focus has changed in some areas, or now includes more modern aspects such as online liability considerations that you simply don't see in the old materials.

    Wrote last Tuesday and got the results today. Test was similar to the practice tests and the material some beyonders sent me worked perfect. Thanks fellas. Study wise I was probably around 10 hours with the majority spent watching the opening week of the NFL season. Anyone writing soon, don't sweat it.

    Hey, I just signed up to write the exam in Jan, I was curious if anyone had any of the material that seems to be 'floating around'? University here has some older versions of the texts, has anyone compared them and has stuff really changed that much? Since I'm not working and have no employer to charge it to, I'd prefer to avoid buying $300 worth of texts....

    You will pass. 100 question, multiple choice test that for some appalling reason considers 65% a pass on the most fundamental, foundational material of the profession. That means you need 65 correct which actually means you only need to know 54 and literally guess on the rest because statistically, 25% of your guesses will be correct and push you over the passing line.
    Spend maybe an hour reviewing tort, contract law and particularly negligence to avoid missing an easy 5 points.

    Then buy a mirror and get ready to take a painfully long, sobering look into it in the extremely unlikely scenario that you fail. Question your entire life, all your decisions and the people that surround you.

    Sorry I don't have any books! LoL!

    Well, the association certainly claims to feel that way even though they then produce a simple test with a 65% pass instead of a 90% pass.
    And Hell, if a person can't tell that accepting bribes or circumventing basic codes isn't wrong... Maybe the whole P.Eng route isn't for them. That's kind of fundamental, non?

    I heard it's harder now than when I took it. But back then, it was pretty much designed to test your English skills. If you were ESL, you needed to know your shit incredibly well. If you grew up speaking English, you could know much less.
