Note to self, if possible avoid Louisiana. 

Gotcha, thanks for the guidance. 

I have the NCEES record, I am just wondering how large of a packet needs to be assembled. Should I be shooting for 1 pound of documents? That seems like a lot (somewhere in the realm of a hundred pages.) 

I am getting ready to apply for my Mass Structural license by comity, I know they ask for a packet of samples of work. What does that entail? Do I need to assemble a book of information for them to review or is it just a few documents?  

So here is my experience with EETs. I signed up for the class a month late. It was grueling to try and catch up being so far behind. The binder is great information. But honestly, there is a lot more to the class than just the binder material. It's packed to the brim with stuff, but the...

WHO SAYS THAT BULLSHIT CAN'T GET YOU A PASSING GRADE Edit: That being said, I wrote all of the stuff down that I knew how to do. It's awesome that got me far enough to get the credit on that stupid general analysis problem.

I needed a break on this exam. This past year has been a nightmare after a nightmare. Each time my studying was interrupted by personal disasters. In the spring it was my grandmother passing away 3 weeks before the exam. This fall it was my son being born 15 weeks premature a month before the...

Fucking New Jersey. 

I sent them an message about this on facebook and got the following response. "Hi Rick, We used to have an Errata section on our website, but that is no longer available. I would recommend that you upgrade to the 9th edition, but make sure the eTextbook is included. If any errors are found in...

Hopefully this doesn't violate the terms but I used the PCI for exactly one problem on the vertical portion. But it was extremely rudimentary. 

Did you find any of these books to not be worth your time or did you find them all relatively useful?

It appears I'm off to a bit of a rocky start. I signed up for on-demand and the software is telling me I need to wait for the presenter to arrive. I emailed the director to see if I'm missing a step. 

I took and passed vertical last year but failed lateral this year. AM: 24/40  PM: Acceptable/Acceptable/Acceptable/Slight Improvement Needed. It is baffling the areas I was deficient in as those are the areas I do most of my work in. I guess living in the northeast not typically designing for...

I think I'll be signing up to give this a whirl. I really can't afford the PPI or the ASCE courses. If this one doesn't work I'll try out school of PE. Just keep cycling my way through them. Given that I'm a bit late to the party, I think I will be relegated to the on-demand stuff. 

I know I am a little late to the party. After the exam I felt violated by the AM section. The afternoon section I got through pretty easily. Turns out my intuitions were right. 24/40 on the AM and only one "Slight improvement needed" on the afternoon. Think I need to read the questions and the...
