Definitely sounds like a lot to run through them twice like that. I've been going through the old videos and listening on my own time since I got access to them, just torn on if I should also listen live given how time consuming it'll be. Did you find it to be beneficial? Or do you think it...

Did you pre-listen on your own time and try and attend the 'live' classes? Or what was your approach? Bummer that you didn't pass - was your first attempt in Spring 2022? Are you choosing to wait until 2023 to just give yourself more time to study, rather than trying for the Fall 2022 exam...

I've been going through the videos and watching them at 1.5x speed and skipping over things I'm comfortable with. I generally prefer to read through the notes and work practice problems and just watch the video if a concept is unclear or if I feel I need more information. I've been debating if...

Great question! Maybe a bridge guy/gal can chime in and provide us with some insight? Right now I'm taking the approach of tabbing things I reference when working through example problems. I'm hoping to get a better idea of key topics/sections to reference through the AEI course and aim to...

Studying 300-400 hours in 4 months is 75-100 hours per month, which if we take 4 weeks per month, breaks down to 18-25 hours per week. This is equivalent to a part time job, and I'm treating it as such. I have time blocks scheduled in my outlook calendar for 20-25 hours per week. As someone...

Although I appreciate your input, I think this decision will vary based on each individual. There are a multitude of people who take both exams together and pass both without issue. Some fail both. Some pass one and fail the other. Some individuals choose to take only one and fail repeatedly...

Hey Folks, Just wanted to make a thread for everyone planning to write the buildings vertical &/or lateral exams this October. This can be a place for questions, comments, discussion, study groups, tips, etc.! I'm in Phoenix, AZ and am planning to write both the vertical and lateral exams this...

Appreciate the feedback guys. I went ahead and ordered the newest edition of the SERM as well as the PPI 16 hour practice exam. Interesting that the PPI lacks in seismic steel design. I have definitely heard a lot of people say that PPI doesn't sufficiently cover seismic. Thankfully, my design...

Any thoughts on the likelihood of the current list of specification and standards changing for the October 2022 exam? I went ahead and got all the codes currently listed printed and bound, not realizing that it hasn't yet been updated for October 2022. I'm also looking at purchasing the PPI PE...

Did you have any of the previous editions prior to the 10th? Or just the 10th? I have PDFs of both the 8th and 9th edition and I’m just not sure if it’s worth paying for the 10th or just using the older versions. Are there any other references you’d recommend?

Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on if getting the newest edition of the SERM is worth the money or if using the 9th edition will be sufficient for the October exam? Any one have experience with the 16-hour practice exam book?

I recently submitted my application to the board to sit for the PE exam. I wanted to start studying and was originally intending to take the construction depth exam, but am a bit confused as to whether I will be forced to take the structural depth instead, based on Arizona's 'branch of...
