Tips to Pass the Civil Engineering Exam

Do you want some tips to help you pass the Civil Engineering exam?

Without a doubt, passing the Civil Engineer Licensure Exam requires tons of preparation, hard work, persistence, and determination. You will surely do your part. You will study long hours, read a lot of books, and answer hundreds of pages of reviewers.

But do you want to hear useful tips, this time straight from those who already passed the Civil Engineering boards? Here’s our collection of the best insights and tips from Civil Engineer passers and topnotchers themselves!

Check out and adopt the following tips which we compiled from Pass the Board Exam.

Tip #1: Simplify and focus only on the important activities.

To simplify is to make life less complex. To simplify is to apply the 80/20 principle to your activities. The reason it’s effective? Less activities, less cognitive load, and more concentration.

Simplify in 2 Steps: First, identify the top 20% of your tasks that can account for 80–100% of your results. Spend more time with them.

Second, identify the bottom 80%, the time-consuming tasks that contribute little to your results. Resolve to downsize, eliminate, and delegate as many of them as possible, as quickly as you can.

Tip #2: Don’t multitask. It destroys productivity.

Multitasking is the act of performing multiple tasks at the same time. It gets lots of things done simultaneously… or does it?

In truth, multitasking only causes constant interruptions. Concentration and productivity are similar to deep sleep. You don’t just go directly into dreaming, you go through stages. Any interruption forces you to start over.

Multitasking not only prolongs tasks, but also increases the number of errors you make.

Key Lesson: Stop multitasking. Instead, focus on a single task.

Tip #3: Deadlines and positive pressure force productivity.

Have you ever experienced being given a difficult assignment with a correspondingly strict deadline? Yet miraculously managing to finish and beat the deadline.

How about the project with a 2-week time limit? You started early, constantly made revisions, and finished the project barely before the deadline.

How about the side project without a clear completion target? Gets started, but never finished.

Have you noticed a pattern here?

Work expands to fill the time available for its completion. This is called the Parkinson’s Law.

A strict?—?yet achievable?—?deadline will trigger positive pressure, the panic feeling that causes productivity miracles. An activity with no deadline will go on indefinitely.

Key Lesson: Work miraculously adjusts to time limits. Set a clear, strict deadline before starting.

PRC Room Assignments: Civil Engineering Exam (Nov 2019)

If you see a “Now Available!” note beside the exam venue, it means the PRC already released the list for that province or city and you may now view the room assignment. If it is not yet available, the PRC is still finalizing the school and classroom details. We will update this post once the official Room Assignments are released.

Here are additional useful tips we suggest you follow before the exam.

1. You’ll notice that even in just one school, several buildings and classrooms will be used as testing centers. To make sure that you proceed to the correct location, write down and take note of the exact Building, Classroom, and Seat Number assigned to you.

2. Before the day of the board exam, find out the address of the school or venue where you’ll be taking the exam. Research the actual location using Google Maps or a guide map to determine how to get there.

3. Better yet, try visiting the venue a few days before the board exam! Doing so will help you discover the best transportation or routes to take. If you simulate going to the venue beforehand, you’ll also have an idea how long it will take you to reach the exam center from your place. This allows you to change your transportation plans, if needed.

4. On the day of the exam, don’t be late! According to the PRC, examinees who will be late will NOT BE ALLOWED to take the board exam. We suggest you arrive at the exam venue at least one (1) hour before the start of the exam. This gives you enough time to locate the building, classroom, and seat number assigned to you.

What happens if you did not show up or weren’t able to take the boards? The answer is in this article: I registered but I did not take the board exam.
