    Is the AISC Seismic Design Manual essential to have for the SE lateral exam?

    Yeaaaaaaa that’s what it is. Ec may be asce7-16 diaphragm thing or something, haven’t really done any prep yet, I guess I’m naively hoping I pass this time but completely agree on the system bit…. One of those vague off ramps (or on ramp depending lol) that the code gives for itself to hide...

    Why I think that the cut score is actually much lower than 28/40

    Why are you people still thinking about the test lol, it’s only been two weeks.... I’m still not completely sobered up. Hahaha. Jk. Don’t over analyze it .... you can’t control the grading, or rhyme or reason for the arbitrary cut offs, so in my opinion .... whatevs. Try to only worry...
