Cashing in on the $0.02. Thanks for the point of view. I completely understand.

sac engineer and jeremy, Thanks for the insight. I'll be passing this along to my co-worker. Much appreciated.

Hello everyone! I have a friend who's already licensed in NC but is planning to take the CA Seismic & Surveying in about a year. Does anyone have any recommendations for a great Seismic Review Course? I passed the exam back in 2000 and have been out of touch with who's offering these...

Structural Ninja, Basically, if you want to be a CA S.E., you have to be a CA Civil P.E. first. To be a CA Civil P.E., you must do the following: pass a national 8-hr exam (which you have) + pass civil/survey exam + pass civil/seismic exam. I don't know of any way to get around "being a CA...

Structural Ninja, You may want to check out this document. Hope this answers your questions. http://www.pels.ca.gov/applicants/se_faqs_12_08_10.pdf By the way, congrats on passing SEI & II

Does this mean that you, kevo_55, are a CA S.E.? :bananadoggywow:

Received my letter and diagnostic thanks to CAPELS!

2bsss, all I can say is "Wow!". I didn't realize MN's stamp looked like that. Michigan's looks cool by comparison.

Thanks kevo_55. For those of us who took the CA SESE or SE III, please let us know at least when your letters arrived. You don't have to tell us the results, just let us know when you get the letter. This way, we'll know when to start calling the board to ask for ours if we haven't received...

jessie74, I believe I have to call the CA Board. I still don't know the results of my SE III exam. I guess once I find out about the SE III, I'll make the decision about the SE II. On a personal note, I think I need a vacation from all this ....

Thanks McENGR, wish you all the best for the next exam!

Thanks Jessie74. I don't feel like a total dork thanks to your post. This made my day!

Yeah, me too. I was sure I passed it after taking it. However, it appears that wasn't the case. The diagnostic wasn't much help so I really don't know how to pass something like this. It seems like I really need to take a review course if I expect to do well.

I think it was 29%. You mean to tell me WA S.E. Exam is more hideous than CA?

Thanks kevo_55. I hope I've passed the CA SESE but unfortunately, NCEES took away my wood to knock on when they told me I failed the SE II.... Sad, huh. Anyways, I'd love to know I passed something...

Retrofit, You're awsome, dude! I was getting ready to praise kevo_55 for his optimism (I should be so optimistic) but then you shared your story! Therefore, I guess all hope is NOT lost. Congratulations on being a newly minted CA S.E. You accomplished something only a few have so you deserve...

Same here kevo_55. I don't have my S.E. number either but I just wanted to know the refile dates and my diagnostic. On another note, I think I'll give myself a little break from this S.E. thing. The whole experience and process drains the life out of me. I think I need to do something a...

To All Who Took the CA S.E. Exam in the Fall 2010: Has anybody gotten their letter yet from the CA Board? Passing letter, failure notice, refile application, diagnostic for the CA SESE, whatever. I haven't heard anything from the board yet. What is your situation?

This has to be the coolest thread!! My $0.02, all four of the states I'm registered at are among some of the dullest designs ever! CA, NC, SC, AZ. I think I got ripped off with CA. For all that effort, they don't even reward you with a cool stamp. I thought about getting an LA seal just...

zhoutt8, I don't know if you those two SE references well but if you do, perhaps you can ask either of them if they know one more that could review your work and then serve as a reference. Just a thought. edit: email removed
