A look at a realistic PE exam study schedule from a Licensed professional engineer who passed the PE Exam on the first try with 3-4 months of studying. The goal of this video is to give you a look at how long I studied for the PE Exam and what my study schedule was like so that you can form your own realistic study schedule.

I broke down how many hours I studied for the PE Exam for the months leading up to the exam and what my study schedule was like the month before the PE exam and the week before the exam. I also gave my study strategy for acing the PE Exam.

I break down how I studied for the PE Exam using the School of PE (and give a small review on the School of PE). I explained how to use the NCEES Practice PE Exams and provided a review on the Six Minute Solutions study guide.

Overall I think the total hours needed to study for the PE exam is about 150 hours total. I am basing this on the roughly 160 hours of studying that I did for the exam while working a full-time job!

I hope this provides study inspiration so that you can start studying for PE and pass on your first try!
