I don't think much of Revit. TME, you say you use STAAD but are about to switch to RISA - have you heard about STAAD(X) that will debut this year? It is going to replace STAAD.Pro
Y'all are reinforcing what I've been thinking. I am more concerned about the morning portion of the exam with all the other disciplines included. I am going to study CERM and do sample problems. The exam is in a month so I guess I should start studying. Thanks for your replies
Just wanted to know if anyone has taken both PE and SE. I took SE last Fall (passed vertical, failed lateral) and I'm going to take the PE next month. How does it compare in difficulty to the SE? How would you prepare differently? Thanks

I thought the test was very helpful and the questions seemed to be a little more difficult than exam questions (which is a good thing in my opinion) and I had a tough time finishing the problems within 4 hours. I probably did the test two or three times just for practice and repetition and I...
For both I probably put in around 100 hours. I don't see how anyone can study 300 hours. I was feeling burnt out and had gone through all of my sample questions & tests multiple times. And I felt prepared for the most part. The lateral exam caught me on a bad day and I'm confident I can pass...
I think I am going to put the SE License on the back-burner and focus on passing the PE in April. If I could go back, I would have taken the PE Exam instead. It just makes more sense at this point in my career. It will get me jurisdiction in most states and is much easier to pass. For some...
I almost got the exact same results, Mike. On the one hand its great to be done with Vertical but I hate having to face Lateral again Especially when I think I could have passed it.
I wonder what the multiple choice cutoff was...
I'm with you, Darius. Here are my results:
Vertical: Passed
Lateral:
AM: 26/40
PM: Wood/Masonry: Needs Improvement
Concrete: Unacceptable
Steel: Acceptable
General Analysis: Acceptable
So, I'll be taking the lateral exam along with the PE in April 2015. This is sort of what I expected. I...
Wow that really sucks to get all acceptable and fail for the multiple choice. I don't think its fair for bridge people. If you can get acceptable on all PM sections, clearly you know your stuff.
