Does anyone know when the new code cycle will be effective for the SE exams? I know April is still based on last code cycle. When does it change to IBC 2018??

 
No one really knows this answer for sure...

But if history is any indication ...

NCEES started using IBC 2015 in 2018...

NCEES started using IBC 2012 in 2015...

I'm not saying its a 3 year cycle, and if you look at the ICC website of states with IBC 2018 as being adopted, I think you'll be able to count them all on one hand.  That said, I'd speculate that this year 2020, will be the last year of the 2015 cycle, and I wouldn't be shocked if next year we see 2018 picked up.  

Just my two cents. 

 
Thanks for the response.

I guess I gotta pass this year!!!
Are you SE now, titleist?

 
No unfortunately not yet.  Came close on lateral, not quite as close on vertical.  So I'm still grinding out the study and prep like most others here.  But it is nice having one attempt at each under my belt.  It takes away much of the nerves. 

Hopefully this year I can wrap these up before any major code change lol.
