Here are the pages I did most of my studying from on top of the example problem books.  Also I have a link to the course I took. Disclaimer is that some of this stuff is outdated but it made me make sure I knew exactly where everything came from.  Again my original unfamiliarity with seismic is...

Okay so I got my results and the final tally is that I passed vertical in the fall when I took both then lateral in the spring when I took it alone.  I will admit it was helpful to have seen the exam even though I failed but the money to take the exam was tough to part with if your company...

I found the DOT examples, NSBA examples, and FHWA examples all to be great resources for studying.  NHI / FHWA course material is also helpful (usually you can find old versions since their courses are for the latest AASHTO).  I was pretty unfamiliar with seismic so I spent a lot of time...

Congrats!!

Congrats!
