Kevo, Thank you so much for the reply. It helped me a lot to figure it out. It looks like it's a long way to get a SE license in CA. I still need to take several exams, and need to find someone who has CA license...

Hi guys, I have a question about CA license. I have a PE license in Virginia with 12 years experience. I took only Structural I exam. If I want to get a SE license in CA, can I just take 2 day exam in VA, and then apply to take CSLRE in CA? Or do I need work experiece in CA to take that...

It seems ASD steel code (9th), masonry & wood codes, by ASD method allow the stress increase, but IBC and ASCE do not allow it in most cases. They will let you know whether the increase should be included or not in the PE exam, because it is "permitted", not "required". I've seen the...

ACI 530-05, 2.1.2.3: The allowable stresses shall be permitted to be increased by one-third for load combinations with wind or earthquake. You should have masonry building code.

Did you expect to get around 88? That is the highest score that I've heard.

I thought we should take that take home questionare to be qualified to take the PE exam. Is it even possible to take the questionare after the PE exam?

I will wait for the result until I get the letter. I checked it on website in my 1st try in April, and I couldn't find my name on the lists. Maybe I need to wait another several days but it's better than website 'cause I'm so scared to do that...

Thank you for the reply. I will call my state board sometime next week. If we take SE II before SE I and pass SE II in Florida, we will get PE without taking SE I? or we need to take both SE I and II to get PE?

I took SE I last month, and I am wondering whether I can resisger for SE II in next April if I pass SE I, or I need to wait until next October. I want to take SE II before 16 hour exam starts in 2011. If I can take SE II in next April, I have two chances. Of course I need to pass SE I first...

I took SE1 in April and didn't pass. (pass rate: 48%) Based on the report, I got around 45~46 and my score was 65. My guess for the cut score at that time would be 50.

This is my second try. First one was in April. I think it is a little bit easier than last time, but not much. Morning exam was tougher than afternoon as last time, but I didn't panic this time!! I was so confused last time because I assumed morning would be easier than afternoon. I felt I...

I have the book also, but I don't use it. I think it may be useful for SE2, not for SE1. Sample Questions & Solutions from NCEES and Six-Minute Solutions are the most useful ones for me.

Thanks for the advise. I have been so much underpaid (making 50's with 10 years experience), and I've been waiting for this year's evaluation to raise my salary up to certain point. We didn't have evaluation last year although I got a little raise, and it seems nothing will happen this year...

You got 55 out of 80 and failed? What was your score?

It's time to get the raise, but nobody mention it so far in my company. It seems they are just happy 'cause of not being laid off. Some of my friends also told me they didn't get any. My salary has been raised 5~6% for last 3 years. I need more $$ to pay my bills!!!

I was more optimistic. Well, this is not the end of the world, but I feel so bad now...

My name is not there either... Hope structural has not posted yet. This is so brutal...

I'm in VA, and I think we need to wait another 1 or 2 weeks. I'm trying to forget about exam during this holiday, 'cause I don't want to ruin it! Already thinking about my holiday schedule, and ready to run away from work anytime. ^^ Hope we are in the 48%.

I thought SE1 exam was tough and pass rate would be around 40%. I'm waiting for the result, and not sure this is good news or not. I hope cutline is below than I thought. (50 out of 80?) Good luck to everybody who are waiting for the results.
