I didn't have PPI material, but I had access to the School of PE lateral material from a friend who took it prior to April 2019. I wasn't impressed with the material he gave me. I chose to take AEI for the lateral review. I thought the AEI material was much more in depth and easier to follow. I...

They're usually slow. I wouldn't count on it before the end of the year. I've got a worthless IL PE license in addition to the SE that I'm now applying for. My PE took three months to get, but part of that was because I had to resend some paperwork. 

Also agree on AEI. This was my second try at lateral. Keeping up with the course was well over 150 hours of study time alone - which was more than I put in on my own the first try. Spent 250 hours total on this second try. 

Congrats!

Same to you!

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, I don't claim Illinois as my home state anymore, but unfortunately Missouri doesn't offer the SE exam, so I have to deal with them. And you're right - UIUC '03. I actually focused in construction management and hated it so now I do structural work. I've got my PE, my California PE, and half...

I'm hoping Illinois comes in today. I've already passed vertical, just need my lateral results.

You need all 3. Good luck with the supplement, it's significant. 

@fern26 What organix said is correct. The supplement is automatically incorporated into the 3rd printing, so you actually don't even have to worry about that. The website I posted says that the Supplement 1 applies to 2015 IBC, but not 2012 IBC. Since the exam is based on the 2015 IBC...

I'm not David, but I recommend going to the thread about the October 2019 Exam results at https://engineerboards.com/topic/34507-se-exam-oct-2019-result/#comments. It's about 23 pages long, but a couple of the posters including @TehMightyEngineer and @ChaosMuppetPE did an awesome job of looking...

Anywhere from 6-10 weeks. People I know who've taken the October exams said it only took 6 weeks, which would be around December 4. However when I took vertical in April 2019 it was 10 weeks, so that puts us around January 1. My guess is they'll do the grading seminar the first weekend of...

Here's the best resource for what you need: https://www.skghoshassociates.com/blog/do-you-have-the-first-second-or-third-printing-of-asce-7-10-it-matters/ I highly recommend spending the $130 and buying the third printing, however. If you design buildings, it's something you should be using...

I emailed NCEES about this and just got a response. They were already planning on two rooms, and have opened up a third room. They're trying to get some people to cancel because they're a few people over the allowance. They're hoping to get a few people to cancel and said it's unlikely that...

Yep. Answer was actually supposed to be C. There was another reduction factor that takes it down from 6.5.
