What did everyone think of the exam this time around? I have talked to two people and seem to get the tough but fair consensus with a few WTH moments from a few of the questions

Good Luck on the exam this week everyone, stay focused and you will get through it! Remember, bathroom breaks don't have to be bathroom breaks, walk around and clear your head if you have to

This was a fun project to work on. http://www.wcpo.com/news/state/state-indiana/watch-demolition-brings-down-cedar-grove-bridge

How long did fellow Illinois applications take before you got your license issued? I submitted all my information before Christmas. Just got off the phone with them and they told me it takes a month to review the application then the board has to vote / approve prospective structural licensure...

I finally have passed the SE Bridges!!!!! Just got my results for taking the test in Ohio. Vertical took me 2 tries, lateral i got on my 4th. I am shaking i am so pumped for it to be done and over with. I will continue to be on these boards and help fellow test takers with bridge questions and...

I had to, couldnt help myself

I suppose it is time I sign up for this god forsaken test again

Love when NCEES calls me to let me know the exam location has changed for the lateral SE in Ohio on Friday, 2 weeks before the test, when they knew about how many people were taking it months ago. Looks like there are only 2 people taking the test in southern Ohio (I assume this is a good thing...

Taking it in Ohio for the first time, anyone know where the testing location usually is? They haven't released it and i would like to get a hotel near it. I just know its Sharonville area

Good luck to everyone taking the test next week. I have taken a year hiatus thanks to Indiana changing rules and Ohio dragging their feet giving me comity and permission to take the test. Hope the time to clear my head will help this time around. Best of luck and here's to hoping you don't have...

So this happened, no exaggeration Sitting at the office, I get an email from NCEES saying I wasn't approved to sit for the April exam in Indiana (mind you, I had been registered forever, this was my 3rd try at lateral). After a mini freak out since it is the day before the registration closes...

So late last year, due to 2 extreme weather events, an area previously engineered at our company, by another engineer, was damaged. The state asked us to repair this, which I was given the task of. After I finished it, it was made apparent that they were going to see error and omissions against...

Well, signed up for lateral for attempt 3. I have noticed this time going into attempt 3 that i have 0 nerves, but that also comes with a certain level of not caring, which is an issue because it is having an effect on my studying. Since the EIT's now take it computerized, there is a very real...

Got my vertical SE results on December 18th last year, so I have officially begun the nervous countdown to results

Getting to be around that time when I start to ponder all the things I may have forgotten to look over, or worry about what they could ask that I haven't brushed up on

Problem 125 Structural. Does anyone else agree with me that only the weight of the 120 foot long walls should be included in the total seismic weight? Since it specifically says N-S ground motion, the shear in the 60 foot walls stays in those walls, and only the 120 foot long walls weight...

I was able to determine the design base shear in problem 1.47, not a problem. In 1.48 they want to know the load in the diaphragm. Based on ASCE 7, this should be done by first determining the load at the first floor using the distribution of seismic forces, Fx = Cvx * V (12.8-11), then we would...

Alright, i apologize for the length of this in advance. Working in Indiana and obtaining my SE, the lateral portion of the test is very tricky since i am basically teaching myself everything seismic related, since we basically don't do it. I have been making up example problems and running them...

So i am officially Seat 1 of 1. Signed up the day before registration ended and still got seat 1 for Lateral, got to love it. On an even funnier / annoying note, my auhtorization has this quote "Excessive noise is expected to last throughout the duration of the exam, please bring earplugs as...

Hi again, appreciate the input. Just want a verification of the theory on problem 110 of the lateral portion of the blue book to just make sure i understand it correctly. As a bridge guy with the test approaching, my building theory is still lacking. It is looking for the drag force in member...
