About Me

Hi! I’m Isaac Oakeson. Just like you, I know that in order to advance in this industry you need to study, take, and PASS the civil engineering PE exam. But with life’s busy schedule, and time seemingly disappearing every day, this is no small feat!

When I took and passed the civil engineering PE exam in 2012 as a repeat taker, I knew that I wanted to make the process easier for others. I know how hard it is to come back to studying after being away from college for 3 or 4 years. I know how difficult it is to find time to study for it. And I know how difficult it can seem to repeat takers as I was one myself.

So I set the goal of helping others just like you on their journey to becoming a PE. And this free startup guide is one of them. I'm sure it'll help you jumpstart your PE Exam prep and increase your chances of getting this thing done.
