I never took the Civil mix so I can not comment on that. I will say that the SE1 had more elementary problems than I expected. I studied specific design problems and tons of them. I had plenty of time left after I completed the questions I did know how to do (each section took me less than 3 hours). The problem was that I was missing some books from college, not code books that I wish I had. I think I nailed about %50 morning and at least 75% afternoon. I know it is going to be close I just hope the p.m. will carry me through. I still study pretty much daily, not nearly as intensely as before. I try to work 2 or 3 problems that nailed me the first go around to make sure that I have the correct info in my cookbook (which was a HUGE help).
