I used the 14th Ed and wasn't a problem. Could probably get by with older versions too. 

I figured, thanks for clarifying. Just a little nervous is all, was hoping to get second confirmation by checking the license number. 

I checked NCEES and I passed civil/structural. However my license number doesn't appear online yet. How long does that usually take?

Kansas is out. 

First time I have taken this exam. The morning seemed reasonable but there were a couple tough ones if you didn't know it right away. Afternoon seemed straight forward but I took the SE in the spring so had lots of studying applied to that portion of the exam which helps. I guess now we play the...

Thanks so much for the reply. I had another person in my office say the same thing so I will just borrow the 14 edition and go from there. Any study tips? I've studied probably 500 hours for the SE Vert and Lat tests so I think the main focus for me will be the morning. 

Quick question for those who have taken the PE Civil/Structural. I have access to the CERM 14th Edition from a recent test taker but saw a 15th edition is available. Is it worth spending the money to do so? I don't mind but figured I'd reach out to those who know the test and the book better...

I took both building tests in the fall. I spent 200 hours studying for vertical and I thought it was pretty easy but on the flip side I spent 100 hours on lateral and got dominated. Comparing the fall lateral to this spring lateral I thought it was easier but then again I buckled down and...

Great, thanks David. 

David-I ordered SEAOC 1-3 today. What are your thoughts on Volume 4? Are the examples shown in AISC 341 similar to what's in that volume? Just didn't want to purchase if it didn't provide much value. Thanks 

Thanks. I will definitely do volume 1 of the SEAOC this time. Anyone used Volumes 2-4? I did the ASCE review course so I can review some of those slides again. If I buckle down on the bridge problems and fine tune wood and masonry I should be fine. Thanks for the input.  That's perfect. I've...

How did you study for lateral? I think I put 200 hours for Vertical and 100 hours on Lateral. I used the SERM, 6 min solutions, and the NCEES exam. Any other recommendations other than David's book? Thanks

Yep. I'm feeling fine about it. In hindsight I probably overstudied for vertical because I had nearly an hour to spare on the morning and afternoon. I'm just glad I can focus on the one this next time around. Personally I think it's a little easier to study for given there is less material. Will...

KS released. Passed Bldg vertical but failed bldg lateral. 20/40 A, NI, NI, U

Hopefully that's not true. It's been tough waiting a couple days longer than other states, can't imagine waiting that much longer.
