I am preparing for this October's SE lateral exam. NCEES lists the AISC Seismic Manual (2nd ed.) as the reference. I find that the 3rd ed. is available. Does anyone know if it is okay to use the latest edition for the exam? I really don't want to buy an outdated book. Thanks!

If the test states to use the 2nd edition then you should really use the 2nd edition.

Besides, the 3rd edition is a paperback book. Sure it has updated examples to the latest specifications as well as the MTBF examples, but I honestly do miss the hard cover.
