Someone take my finger off of F5 please.

Damn, now I'm jealous...nothing yet for CT (although my heart sank when I read this today and I'm not sure I really want to know haha). Congrats TME! And congrats on getting past one of 'em xjggre!

Been checking every day for the last week,several times a day.

Pass or fail, I'm glad I took both at the same time. I had every intention of studying my butt off for both of them, but I definitely got burnt out. At that point, I'd say I studied 80% vertical and 20% lateral. I walked out of both tests feeling about 50/50 on both (not great, and it was an...

Thanks phecke! Definitely gonna keep that in mind.

Nope, I've almost completely forgotten the questions, but I wouldn't rule out me misinterpreting the question!

Got it, misunderstood.

Wait, they get PEs to take the SE to judge a curve? That doesn't make any sense to me. What does a PE have to do with an SE? I have a PE but that wouldn't prepare me any more or any less for this test.

I see what you're saying. And it's just my own insecurities playing games with me...I didn't mean to put that on you! You guys are right...we really shouldn't worry about it because it's out of our control anyway! (unless one of you is an expert grader...then I beg for leniency)

Haha that is definitely not a comforting thing to hear! Oh well. I thought they just told you whether what you got was acceptable, needs improvement, or unacceptable. They tell you specifically where you lost credit? Or are you speculating on that being the case as to how it's scored? I...

I didn't have that situation because I did finish everything...though I might have skipped a couple parts and said what I would be checking or what the next steps would be, but knew I was running low on time. I think I showed competency in what I was doing, but somewhere along the lines would...

Ah okay cool. I was wondering if we had just taken the test together in CT. Yeah, I can't imagine that any of my answers were "unacceptable" on the afternoon, but based on the previous description, I guess it's totally possible.

I see you're from NY...where did you end up taking it?? And after seeing the assessment as to what it takes to get "Acceptable", I can now confidently say I didn't pass haha. I was hoping acceptable was showing all the proper steps with some screw ups in there. I feel like I definitely...

I totally agree. I did the same, both tests. I definitely don't want to go through even one day again, but by Saturday afternoon, I was dragging. Both mornings I thought were somewhat challenging. I did a lot more studying on vertical stuff, even though I'm much more familiar with it. So I...

Aced??? Man, you're some kind of genius! That was the hardest thing I've ever taken by far haha.

Nice! Congrats! I just got home...I could go either way on both days. I really think I'm 50/50. Usually I underestimate it, but I don't think I am on this one. I just want to pass both or fail both and be done! I get a suspicion I'll pass one though haha. Don't know which!

Not great. Not terrible. I'm lucky in that I technically don't need this to practice in NJ but see the added benefit to paving my own way to out of state work if I do get it. If I don't pass, I sure as hell am not telling work haha. Good luck, guys. Just relax and don't let your nerves get the...

These are awesome and really easy to follow. Thank you! Wish I could offer something I've done, but you all seem so much more prepared. As long as I'm not the guy that shows up with the TI-89 or shows up on the wrong day...

Haha yup, at least I'll have the new one in case the codes change for the next time! Based on seeing how everyone else has done in the past and how much studying I've done in comparison, I don't anticipate passing the lateral at least without quite a bit of luck anyway. Only thing I have going...

Thanks for the info...I couldn't find the AISC SDM on the NCEES website, but even so I wouldn't be able to get it in time for the test. Driving up to Connecticut for the exam on Thursday, so no way I'd get it in time. I have the two specs that are included in the 1st edition, so I'm thinking...
