Lol, yup.  It drives me nuts.  I just Xerox it at 95% (or whatever the number is) and carry the copy.

You can test at any authorized testing center, even outside of CA.  Good luck. http://engineerboards.com/forum/41-ca-seismicsurvey-exams/

George, I asked how much engineering experience you have because (not knowing which state you are in but providing you an example) in CA, you can apply for a waiver of the FE Exam and go straight to the PE Exam (if approved) with 17 years of experience...

George, I made the spelling corrections you asked for.  I am also moving this thread to General Engineering as it doesn't seem to specifically relate to the PE Exam.  A few questions.... What is it exactly that you are trying to accomplish that not having an ABET accredited degree prevents you...

Hmmmm.... interesting.  Found this in MDOT's Sight Distance Guidelines.  They say they don't generally adjust SSD due to grade, G.  I've never seen that before but their justification seems to have merit. 

ulua, you are welcome.  :) I see what you are saying.  But, really, these SSD formulas (and  variable 'G') ultimately come from AASTO's GDHS, right?  AASHTO uses G.  But, regardless, you are right.  The use of +/- G is not explained very clearly.  Either in the GDHS or, as you mentioned, in...

Can you list what they are?

Merry Christmas ulua.  First, you should use G, not g.  g equals gravity as in 'a' as in deceleration (f x g) (friction x gravity) (typically 0.35 x 32.2 = 11.2 ft/s).  [See GDHS eqns 3-2 and 3-3]  G equals longitudinal street grade.  G, in the formula you provided, is positive on an...

Hmmm... Sincere review or advertisement?  I get told my recommended 300 hours is too high.  I have never seen a recommendation for 500!  But, hey, if it works, that's all that matters.  Congrats on passing. 

jiji, I have the past 5 edition.  :P   tes, no need to double post.  And no need to publicly post your e-mail address when the direction was to PM.  ;)    Sent.  Good luck.     

Yup, feel free to PM me your e-mail.  :)   Hey, tj, when did you become tj? 

Not sure if you guys have passed all three exams but the way I found out I passed that final Seismic hurdle is I found my name in the state License database (before I received my passing results).  I want to say this was mid-late December (2012).  

EET rocks.  

While I do not necessarily condone the 7 year old thread bump , I do concur that EET is top notch.  

Moving because I think of the 'After You Pass' forum more as an 'After you are licensed' forum and the 'Anything about the PE Exam' forum more suitable for application discussion. 

As alluded to above, I do think the Construction module, for whatever reason, has the reputation for being the easiest of the five modules.  So I think you get a lot of the "non-studiers" taking a chance with Construction only to fail. 

Touche. 

I respectfully disagree. Until NYC starts issuing PE licenses, I think we can safely use NY and not NYS in the context of this forum's discussions.  :)
