Hi Haresh,
For the open book exam, only one book will suffice all ur needs and thats "Skills & Knowledge of Cost Engineering, 5th Edition."
Open book is useful only for part 1 which is objective type questions. They will ask u lot of definitions type questions and u can re-confirm the correct definition by looking into the relevant section. There will be 50 questions and 1hr 45 minutes to complete it.
My advise wud be to answer the questions in say like 1hr 15 min and then re-confirm ur answers by looking into the book in remaining time.
Idle time required for CCE exam preparation will be 15 days for technical paper and 15 days for study (2-3hrs/day)
Cheers,
Dear Haresh,
Here are the recommended Sources of Exam Preparation stated in the study Guide:
1. AACE International CCC/CCE Certifcation Review Course and Examination (4 days course including examination)

3. Local AACE Internation Section Workshops
4. Text Books

Dear Haresh,
Step 1: Visit the http://www.aacei.org/certification/certExplained.shtml
and download the brochure for the exam that you want to take, then buy the study material from AACEI.
Step 2: Ask any question that you do not know about.
Step 3: Check the calender to schedule the exam location nearest to your location.
With kind regards,

AACEI publishes two papers every month on their website. You may refer to some of the archives to get a better idea of paper to be selected.
All The Best

Hi Haresh,
You can present any paper related with planning, contracts, project management or project controls. But, if it is related with your own project (current or past) and if you can quantify ur work, then it will be very easy to get it cleared. People do fail just because their papers are just copy and paste from some website.
On CCE website, you can find CCE book which you need to study. Planning and Project Management Sections are quite easy as we are dealing with these things everyday. The toughest section will be ECONOMICS. you need to practice a lot for this section.
What are the possible paper i can present for exam eligibility......
regards,
Haresh
