New Hampshire results are out too.

I would try to get a second opinion on this as I could only study 5 days for the exams. I had the SERM 6th edition and the latest NCEES sample problems for the SE exam. I managed to read bits of a few chapters of SERM and went through the sample NCEES problems.

Are the IBC design manuals for lateral loads only or do they also cover the topics for the vertical exam?

The probability of passing both exams is not simply multiplying pass rates of both exams since they are dependent events with probably a pretty high correlation coefficient. Chances are if you're prepared enough to pass one there's a good chance you'll pass the other one. For this exam the...

I need some guidance on the PM portion. I think I failed both exams because of the PM portion and I want to make sure I ace it next time around. For the folks who passed, how did you guys prepare for the PM portions?

Bah. I couldn't make enough time to study but was still hopeful. Failed both: Vertical: 30/40 morning, 2 acceptable/2 unacceptable Lateral: 28/40 morning, 1 acceptable/3 needs improv.

and did you guys receive emails or checked the ncees website.

NCEES' party line is "The SE scores will be released 10-12 weeks after exams, between 6/22-7/7" />https://twitter.com/#!/NCEES

The lady from NCEES I spoke to after my exam said 10-12 weeks which means late june to mid july. I had hoped that was a conservative estimate but who knows.

This is a pretty clear statement. They take their sweet time before scoring then.

That's what I've assumed too. I'm guessing we are probably at least couple weeks from release.

Do we know whether this workshop will finalize the results to be released or merely a middle step.

I agree. I don't think anyone can be expected to get all parts 100% right in the limited amount of time allowed. It should be about showing competency by taking a reasonable approach and demonstrating knowledge of design codes. I wouldn't want to go near any of the structures I designed or...

If and when I do pass the SE exam, I would like to try to get an Illinois SE license through comity. I can't seem to find the requirements (education/expericence) for doing this. Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction? In addition I would appreciate your input greatly if you know...

As far as I know these levels (acceptable, improvement needed etc) are not published anywhere. Is there some place I can look at for all the levels and what they mean in terms of passing the exam? I agree that the grading for the afternoon part is too ambiguous. I have no idea what to expect at...

I took both exams for the first time after not cracking a book open until 5 days to the exam. When I cracked open SERM that day, it basically told me I was screwed in the first few pages. I don't really have a good sense of what percentage of multiple choice/written combo one needs to pass and...
