cheap option would be is to buy REVIT LT then pay for LinkedIn Learning, which has REVIT courses. The courses have markers for particular topics if you're only looking for a specific topic, or you can watch the entire course.

Do you know if they will provide the entire reference codes electronically during the exam or just some sections when they transition to CBT? I haven't been able to find anything online regarding this.

Good luck with both exams. Just a heads up that they will more likely change the reference codes for the CBT exams next year. I'm planning on taking mine when CBT starts so I can just focus on the same code cycle.

Although I don't recommend taking both exams on the same cycle (just my personal preference), it might be a good idea to do that this year since the transition to CBT next year will more likely involve updated design codes.

Would you consider teaching a review course for those exams that you passed? Teaching/Mentoring is also a form of career development.

I know about the reference manual during the CBT exam but I did not hear anything with them providing the codes. Do you have the source that talks about this? Thanks

Passing the PE exam will also show how much you are familiar with the U.S. building codes. If you cannot pass that exam then you should not have a PE stamp.

I have a Masters Degree in Structural Engineering and I'm working towards getting my SE someday. But I would say that the SE is worth more than the Masters in the Structural Engineering world. You can finish the MS in 3 to 4 years while taking 1 or 2 classes per semester and having a good idea...

@FBPE Rep do you know if Florida will adopt the ASCE 7-22 soon? I took an ASCE webinar back in February and one of the speakers said Florida might adopt it to their next Florida Building Code.

You acted properly in that situation, although it seems like you're better off finding a company that will respect your PE license and its limitations. Remember, if something goes wrong the company will replace you while you're left with lawsuits on your own and possibly your PE license revoked...

The current SE Exam code cycle was changed starting with the October 2021 exams and used IBC 2018. They use a 3 year cycle and it was supposed to change in April 2021 but was delayed because of COVID. The next code change should happen in April 2024 using IBC 2021. But 2024 is also the year it...

Structural Load Determination by David Fanella is also a good reference (amazon link below). It has flow charts and sample calculations...

I think this is the first time they showed it this way. Back then you would have to check each state on the NCEES website to see the exact location of the testing sites.
