This dictionary helped on the morning part of the exam and was extremely helpful in the afternoon (for water/environmental)! Unfortunately April '13 was my second attempt at the exam and I was very luck to have this reference manual with me especially for the environmental terms. I brought 5 binders and 5 books and only used 3 binders and 2 books - this being one of them. Good luck to anyone taking the exam or who took the exam recently as well!

I bought the book to help me in defining terms that I was unfamiliar with while taking the PE exam. I used the book a few times during my exam and quite possibly helped in getting a few questions correct. This book is also a great addition to my engineering library at my office and would recommend it to any practicing water resource engineer.

I was skeptical when told to purchase this for studying the PE exam but have been pleasantly surprised with how handy it's come in already. It's a great reference and though I was originally planning to sell it back after my exam, I will keep it. I'm happy to have a quick reference at my desk for Civil Engineering.

I used this book to answer two or three questions on the PE exam. I would highly recommend getting a copy. I took a review class and was lucky enough to have Dr. Friebel for the water resources section. He was one of the best instructors I have ever had including undergraduate and graduate school.

As another review stated, the book is for Civil, Water Resources & Environmental engineering. On the recent PE exam this book did not help. There were definitions asked on the test, either I knew the answer already or I could not find the answer in this book. It offered no help for the afternoon portion. I took the geotechnical portion. It does cover a lot of ground and most likely quite useful for some, I will keep it for future reference. The green book was more useful in the morning session where it provided the answer to two questions.

This is a MUST HAVE for the Civil PE Exam. There are so many topics covered in the AM, breadth portion of the exam, that you are sure to come across some terms that you have not yet encountered or are not familiar with. Due to the specialized content, you are unlikely to find most of these terms in a standard dictionary. I tried a handful of other "Scientific" and "Egneineering" dictionaries but this is hands down the best for the PE Exam.

I used this a few times during the test, but I often didn't see what I was looking for. But I think it helped for a few words. If nothing else this serves as a nice sense of security going into the test.

because you don't know the definition of a word!You are sure to come across terms that you have never heard before, and the answer will be apparent as long as you can figure out what the problem statement is asking.
