My theory is that an improvement required is a problem where you get main portion of the weigheted problem correct, as you I agree with this assessment on the needs improvement part. I know on one problem in the afternoon I had the main portion correct, but had a brain fart on the rest. I did...

My answer to this would be to expect any and everything.

I did not feel confident in the bridge questions in the vertical or the lateral portion. I felt I did a lot better in the 1 vertical essay question which I had unacceptable...

Failed Vertical and Lateral Vertical 26/40 2 Acceptable, 1 Improvement Required and 1 Unacceptable: Lateral 22/40 1 Acceptable, 1 Improvement Required and 2 Unacceptable: Almost tempted to pay for a regrade for the Vertical Afternoon Portion if possible. Going to go one at a time next year..

I will be on the repeat list as well. I hope that it is not 10% for repeat takers.... Because that is where the percent seems to be headed.

Not everyone is a Civil Engineer, I am an Architetural engineer and cannont take the Civil PE until I have enough experience. I could take the AE exam but I do not feel that the exam covers my expertise in Structural. Therefore I am stuck taking the 16 hour SE Exam until I pass it...

Just a quick tidbit, only 27% of those who took both the Vertical and Lateral Portion passed both sections. Its too bad they do give how many passed Vertical or Lateral separately. That sucks.

Guess Ill be waiting a couple days for the mailed result in NE.

I am a new poster from Nebraska. I have taken the Vertical and Lateral forces Kaplan classes. I agree with the persons assessment of the Kaplan vertical classes. For the Lateral forces the only bad instruction was the foundations. Some of the instructor may have been boring, but after taking...
