If you spend some time looking at the AASHTO code, you will notice it is laid out almost identical to every other code. There is a section for bending, a section for shear, a section for fatigue, etc., etc. It's not that bad if you know your book. Don't get stressed because it says AASHTO in the...

I agree the Hiner book was great. Especially if don't do a lot of work with seismic. There are literally hundreds of short problems that drill it into your head... its great. The SEAOC books were good too. I got three of them and I don't regret it.

whispers of SE results finally trickling in.....

Congrats!!! here we go!!!!!

It's awfully quiet out there this year. Anyone hearing any rumblings other than "....8 to 10 weeks" ?

I thought the Hiner book was a must have. I didn't take the course... I just reviewed it.

You're really playing with fire if you don't buy and know by heart how to find information in all of the listed codes. I don't know for sure, but I would be willing to bet that 50% of the people that pass, do so just barely. Every question counts and you will struggle with some of them. I have...

I didnt expect to see any bridge problems since I was taking buildings only, but yes there quite a few of them and I was unprepared for that..... still, I passed. I should add that I work in both bridges and buildings so I am very familiar with AASHTO, but I literally didnt open the book and I...

I won't be hitting it too hard until October / November..... but I like your idea. Done with lateral but taking vertical in April 2015..... likely going to be some new codes. I think you have a great idea here. Keep in touch.

Regardless of the outcome, I will be studying this summer for either a lateral or vertical portion.

Anyone from Maine hear anything?

When I talked with Maine last week they said that examinees would receive an email from NCEES simultaneously. I'm kind of surprised we didnt hear today. Similar to your story TehMightyEngineer, I received an emai lfrom NCEES today letting me know they completed my NCEES Records application.... I...

I can't even look at that page..... LOL

This was a tough exam. There were issues in the afternoon section as well. I look forward not only to my score, but a look at the pass rates.

Is this week 10?

what a week.... what a day...... this was brutal

No... this is horrible. Like I said, I heard form my State and even they are like WTF are the results... LOL

Response from my State Board when I asked if they had heard anything from NCEES..... I checked on Friday, since we hadn’t heard, and they said that the committee had just met or was about to meet and they expected the results would be released in about a week, so we are hoping to hear something...

I was very unhappy with the proctors this go-around in Maine.... I vividly remember being distracted by their eating, opening food, etc. Maybe thats because there were only three of us taking the test - it was a relatively quiet group. Cleary there isnt a 2:1 ratio of graders like there are...

Haha, Yes, I am one of the three that day. Good luck man.
