Hey does anyone have a link to the downloadable problems from learncivilengineering.com? I printed them out a while back, but now can't find the electronic version. I couldn't successfully navigate to them from the site either. Thanks.

The CA board posted this one on Facebook. It's not as funny as the others posted here though. https://www.facebook.com/107020752801578/photos/a.107027629467557.318.107020752801578/141511342685852/?type=1&theater

Lol. I guess I just have some good self control and can resist temptations. My buddy's dad who works for a construction company was telling me that on their Hawaii bids or San Diego bids, they have to throw in a lower productivity factor due to people skipping work when the waves are good. I...

Yeah check your state law. In CA you cannot establish an LLC for the purposes of offering professional services.... Other states can.

Then there is also the explanation that we have amazing weather about 360 days of the year and the last thing anyone wants to do is study when you can do something else fun.

Yeah we get wallet sized every time we renew. However, I don't know anyone that carries it. I carried my first one for a year and then said, "no way." I don't see when you would need it.

I got mine in the mail today. Funny they changed the font. The names are no longer written in Old english. Perhaps it was just too gangsta! :eyebrows:

I once read somewhere that CA has lower results possibly because we only require 2 years experience beyond a bachelor's degree whereas other states require significantly more.

CA definitely is!

I think you are in good shape. I was in a similar boat as you. I took the mechanical PE, then electrical PE, and finally Civil (construction). I agree with your method of learning from The ppi reference manual. You will notice that the CERM and MERM are very similar (same author). There...

Anyone else considering doing this for old times sake? :suicide1:

Hiner posts some of his lesson on youtube. That will be helpful. Some of the problems are so detailed that you can't copy them quickly. Contrary to doing normal work calculations, practice writing down only the minimum of what you need such as values you look up in ASCE 7 and CBC/IBC and...

It appears that the CA board will in the future start offering Seismic and Surveying Computer Based Testing year round. That means no more waiting for the test cycle of April or October. I responded to one of their inquires as a volunteer. I'm not sure if I really want to take seismic again...

Congrats. Now it's time to put in some long study hours to get it done. Best of luck.

Definitely not that.
