I am a Civil Engineer with a couple of years of working experience, PE license in CA, and Masters degree. I was wondering if any of you guys have worked for either of these companies in the US. They work on really appealing and diverse civil engineering projects all over the world so I might try...

Just got in my mail a "pocket certificate". I hope we get wall certificates too...

Not yet on my end...They stated 4-6 weeks from May 29th so I am still not worried :)

Passed PE civil with structural depth in California on my first try. Literally worked my ass off to combine work and study these last months to pass the 3 exams. My employer does not want to raise my salary at all, basically because they say I dont have enough experience. I cannot argue with...

Passed first try PE civil structural, and waiting for the 2 state specific exams!

Same here man, here from ATX waiting for all 3 of them!

I got this email too...Quick question, NCEES sends you an email as soon as your account shows the result notice or there's a lag in which you can log in and find it by yourself??

I was thinking from my perspective, structural PM. For the AM portion you are right it should be enough

For this April, it was out-of-date significantly for all masonry stuff, for steel and concrete although the specs changed from AISC 13th to 14th and ACI 8 to 11 I think it was good enough, but they should really come up with their 15th edition before this October...

So the question is when is the CERM going to catch up and update their contents??

The comments at the end of the exam, their comment form on their website

I noted it in the comments as well... should I submit their comment form too? I wasted min. 6 minutes on that question...

I do not recall missing any weight in mine, but there was one on my exam that I believe had wrong possible answers.

Yeah, I had heard from so many people that the AM was a joke and the PM struct very tough... that in the end the PM part did not look that bad

Any general thoughts about the Structural PM exam? For me the questions were really diverse and some of them unexpected, but I felt the level of the exam was about the same as the practice/sample exams

I disagree with your statement. In order to determine Cb you need to know the shape of the moment diagram, you dont need to know the values. You can compute Cb based on moments being in terms of P.

Extracted from NCEES EXAMINEE GUIDE MARCH 2015 "You may tab reference books before the exam with sticky notes and flags, but pads of sticky notes and flags are not permitted in the exam room" Does this mean things like this...

My opinion is that 20 hrs of study in any topic makes you jump from 0% knowledge to 60% knowledge, while the same amount of study on a topic you are already at 60% will only put you at 75% knowledge. But as said before, there are many strategies so choose the one you feel it is the best for you

Thanks guys for your response. I was wondering...the exam specs are really vague about what questions we can expect? How many questions can we expect on masonry or timber, and what complexity will they be?

Do you guys recommend any good masonry book with problems somewhat comparable to the ones we could find on the exam?? thanks in advance!
