Build a study plan around NCEES CBT rules, 80 questions, the 9-hour appointment, April 2024 specifications, traffic engineering, highway geometry, intersections, signals, traffic control, pavement, geotechnical topics, and drainage.
PE Civil: Transportation rewards candidates who can move between traffic analysis, geometric design, standards lookup, pavement decisions, and drainage calculations without losing pacing. HiraEdu helps candidates translate the NCEES specification into focused review blocks and timed practice.
Use the current NCEES CBT format and April 2024 Transportation specification before scheduling review time.
NCEES lists PE Civil: Transportation as an 80-question computer-based exam in a 9-hour appointment.
PE Civil exams are offered year-round at NCEES-approved Pearson test centers, subject to board approval.
The exam is closed book; NCEES supplies the PE Civil Reference Handbook and listed transportation standards electronically.
Study traffic engineering, project management, roadside design, horizontal and vertical geometry, intersections, signals, traffic control, pavements, geotechnical work, and drainage.
The April 2024 Transportation specification is discipline-focused. Plan from the NCEES topic ranges rather than older breadth-and-depth assumptions, and verify any future design-standard changes for your test date.
Traffic engineering has one of the largest ranges on the blueprint, and geometric design topics appear across roadside, horizontal, vertical, and intersection sections. Practice capacity, LOS, safety, sight distance, curves, and intersection layouts together.
The supplied standards are searchable electronic files. Build speed with AASHTO, HCM, MUTCD, FHWA culvert guidance, pavement references, and the PE Civil Reference Handbook before exam day.
Use this PE Civil: Transportation exam help page for exam-specific context, then compare the broader online exam help services page or contact HiraEdu if you need a direct handoff. This page stays focused on PE Civil: Transportation while the linked service pages cover broader exam support options.
The NCEES PE Civil: Transportation exam is a computer-based civil engineering licensure exam administered year-round at NCEES-approved Pearson test centers. NCEES lists 80 questions in a 9-hour appointment: 2 minutes for the nondisclosure agreement, 8 minutes for the tutorial, 8 hours of exam time, and a 50-minute scheduled break. Candidates register through MyNCEES and must follow their licensing board's approval rules.
The Civil: Transportation specifications effective beginning April 2024 are closed book with electronic references. NCEES provides the PE Civil Reference Handbook and transportation design standards during the exam. The blueprint covers project management, traffic engineering and safety, roadside and cross-section design, horizontal and vertical design, intersection geometry, traffic signals, traffic control, geotechnical and pavement work, and drainage.
NCEES lists a 9-hour appointment with 80 questions, including a nondisclosure agreement, tutorial, 8 hours of exam time, and a 50-minute scheduled break.
Yes. NCEES lists PE Civil exams as computer-based and administered year-round at NCEES-approved Pearson test centers, subject to licensing-board rules.
The April 2024 blueprint covers project management, traffic engineering, roadside and cross-section design, horizontal and vertical design, intersections, signals, traffic control, geotechnical and pavement, and drainage.
No. NCEES states the exam is closed book and supplies the PE Civil Reference Handbook and listed design standards as searchable electronic references.
Start with traffic engineering, capacity and safety analysis, horizontal and vertical geometry, intersection design, signal timing, pavement design, and drainage calculations.
Review your state board's PE approval process before registering through MyNCEES.
Map study time to project management, traffic, roadside, horizontal, vertical, intersections, signals, traffic control, pavements, geotechnical topics, and drainage.
Run timed searches in AASHTO, HCM, MUTCD, FHWA, pavement, roadside, pedestrian, and handbook references so code lookup stays efficient.
Combine traffic analysis, design checks, signal timing, pavement, drainage, and geometry problems to match the 8-hour exam block.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
