AR Features In Our Book
These features enhance the learning experience and memory recognition.
Readers need a mobile device (iOS or Android)—a phone or tablet—to view the AR content. In addition, they must install the free TotalAR app. (Instructions for downloading the app are available in the book.)
Using this app, readers can scan predefined images and special codes while reading the book to perform different types of activities:
- Flash Cards – Each chapter contains a flash cards target. When the target is scanned, readers will be able to view flash cards associated with that chapter in order to learn terminology and prepare better for the exam.
- Quizzes – A quiz target also appears in each chapter. When that target is scanned, readers can take a quiz associated with that chapter to test their knowledge of the material.
- Errata List – When a predefined target is scanned, readers can see the latest errata list.
When you purchase the book, you will have one year of complimentary access to the above AR features. However, there is also premium paid AR content listed below, which is available via monthly subscription at an additional cost:
- Video Lectures – Each chapter contains a video lecture, available through monthly subscriptions. When a target is scanned, readers can view videos where a subject matter expert (SME) explains the chapter content. This should help readers understand the content quicker.
- Ask an Expert – When this target is scanned and a monthly subscription is purchased, the reader will be able to send questions to a relevant subject matter expert to clarify information via email.
- Tutoring – Scanning these targets and purchasing a tutoring package will allow readers to interact one on one with a tutor, who is also an SME, to learn the material with live interaction.
Everything You Should Know About the California Civil Exam
The CA Civil exam tests for competency within civil engineering in the state of California. There are two specific exams civil engineers are required to take and pass in order to become licensed in California: surveying and seismic.
Prerequisites
Before you are allowed to take the California Civil exams, you will need to have passed your FE exam and PE Civil exam as well as met the qualifying experience requirements. You will submit your application for licensure to the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists , and when your application is deemed exam eligible, you will receive more information about scheduling your exam.
Exam Fees
An application fee for $175 is required for all initial applications. Each exam has an additional application fee of $175. Please check the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists’ Fee Schedule for more information.
Exam Day
They are multiple- choice, computer-based tests (CBT), and each 2.5 hours long. As they are both open-book exams, you are allowed to bring bound reference materials.
After the Exam
The Board will post the release date of the exam results on their website. Once the exam results are finalized, you will receive your exam results in an email.
Hear From Our Students
*Live Online classes are subject to a minimum of 15 student registrations. If the class does not reach the minimum requirement, it will be substituted with six workshop sessions and an Ondemand course instead.
