To those (like me) who experienced the bitter blow of not passing this exam.........take some time off with you family, loved ones, etc..... and then lets get back to the business of trying to pass this exam.

Yeah thanks. I've learned to deal with it. FE took me 5 times, Military advancement exams multiple times. I really am a crappy test taker. That said, I've found that I eventually get it and am not going to give up.

I did the EET review for civil/structural and cannot praise them enough. And just in case you need to feel better about how you did, I just failed for the fifth time. I'm a horrible test taker.  I am going to keep taking it until I pass or NCEES tells me I can't take it anymore (ha, not really)...

I did the EET course and feel it was very helpful. I will be repeating it. This was my 5th time taking the PE. Took me 5 times to pass the FE. Took me 5 times to pass military advancement exams. I may not be the worlds worst test taker, but I've got to be near the bottom. That being said, I'm...

I failed civil/structural.....44/80....ugh. Congrats to those who passed.

Good Morning. I am a repeat exam taker  (3 times) Civil/Structural. I am enrolled in EET on-demand and will take exam Oct 17. Looking to plug in with anyone here that may be in a similar boat.

I took SOPE review and found the structural depth to be lacking. I am planning on trying EET online review.  @Hemi79  how have you found the EET for structural depth so far?

@Dleg, Thanks for the response. That is the same information we still find currently. We talked to a guy that has spent 50 years in the wood preservative industry and he said CCA is still the preferred method of treatment for boardwalk/wetland application. The problem is the contractor sent...

Is anyone familiar with CCA wood preservative treatment for boardwalk applications? I work for a structural engineering firm in NC. We have designed several miles of pedestrian boardwalks and bridges in three phases. The second phase is beginning construction. The contractor is disputing the...

I tried the engineering videos and did not find them helpful for civil/structural. I'm a repeat taker and failed again this cycle.

@dvtn, no additional references necessary. just have to fill out the repeat request form. Unless something has changed for Oct 2015 exam.

Civil/Struc 44/80. ouch, hurts to write

Yeah, morning really got me this time as well, along with a couple sections in the afternoon.

yeah already told him. I'm a repeat taker, so the failure gets easier to swallow subsequent times.

Results are out for NC. Failed Civil/Structural. Happy Memorial Day!

The six minute solution structural problems are harder than what you will see on the structural pm, but they are good practice conceptually bc you could see pieces of them as exam questions.

Some question will be quick and others will be longer than six minutes. That's the typical way the exam is designed from my experience and others. A good technique that others have mentioned is to go through it one time solving all the easiest first, then back through solving the middle of the...

For the structural afternoon I took all of the codes listed by NCEES. If you have AASHTO bring it. Read and tab the sections on their load combinations, wheel load criteria (H20, etc). There may be easy points to pick up if you have this and are familiar with it. I also brought PCI, AISC design...

I am a repeat structural pm taker. I will be taking again this April. I have made an equation sheet for this exam pertaining to structures pm topics I don't do on a regular basis with my job. Aside from that I have worked at least 3-4 different types of problems for each subject listed in the...

Hey Rambox, I actually looked at this problem last night. My understanding from AISC Tbl C-C2.2 was that K(e-w) was two( pinned at the bottom, fixed at the top, and K(n-s) was one ( pinned top and bottom). Leading me to believe "B" was correct. Thoughts?
