If past cut-scores and pass rates are any indicator, my response would be "harshly."

ditto - you're better off taking the CA SE III.

^^ The downside for the CA version is that you have many more hoops to jump through.

I think the CAIII is no longer an option as they are moving to the new national structural exam in the spring.

Aren't they offering it one more time next October? I know Washington is...

I heard I need three SE in CA to apply CA SE. That is why I take WA SEIII.

Confession: I never realized how many errors are in the 1st printing of the AISC Seismic Design Manual. It wasn't until I was going through some of the problems during the exam that it was referring to the wrong figure of the wrong chapter!!! Very frustrating. I primarily was just going through the SEAOC manuals for study. I was told that you could trade in the 2nd printing for the 1st printing for free. Is this still the case?

Thanks!

Personally, I am using the later version. I guess you can call or send an email to AISC.
