Exam Availability: Once a Year Next Test Date: October 8, 2025
If anyone would like some help or free advice before October, feel free to reach out to me. I like to discuss what's going on with the new generation. I only do it when I want to, so it's no bother at all.

Look forward to the first comment of 2025!
Hi Dave- Just want to say a big thank you for maintaining this site! I wasn't sure where to start until I came across your resources and the comments of those who have taken the test recently- incredibly helpful to start to break this bear into bites. It looks to me like Bing is no longer active as the winrock site is down and I didn't see anything this year about upcoming training- is that correct?
ReplyDeleteThanks for reaching out Steve. I thought Bing was going to find a heir, somebody to fill his shoes. One of the issues Bing had was the test is a very different beast than it was back when Bing started his class, so his quantitative style didn't match up with the more language-based modern exam. I tried to fill that gap with the Guidebook, but I did this when were allowed resources. It's a whole different exam today. For any more Q, feel free to reach out to me on Linked In or at my email mdavidgo. Thanks.
DeleteHi Dave, I'm taking the Texas PE Exam for Petroleum 8th October, and am going to start studying (almost) full time from now until then to give myself the best chance on passing it. However, I'm not sure what materials to purchase and study with. There's been a lot of different recommendations made over the years in this blog, but it'd be good to know what you recommend as the best/latest for 2025 (and to get comfortable with the CBT format).
ReplyDeleteCould you please recommend one complete list of study materials that a person taking the PE (Petroleum) Exam this year should have? FYI, I've looked online, but have only seen "School of PE" and "PPI2Pass".
Man thanks
I think SPE is going to do what they've always done: use the SPE Textbook Series & SPE Handbook Series. Focus on those. Especially the simple problems in both series.
DeleteWhen I said SPE I meant the NCEES. I have no inside information, but to be fair, NCEES uses SPE texts. And again, to be fair, NCEES shouldn't go deep in the weeds on anything too specific since it the test covers so many subjects. NCEES will likely stick to the basics. But make it hard as hell, of natch :-).
