Thanks for your tips Nathan55. Extremely helpful. #15 resonated with me. The urge to simply brush up on the weak areas for retakers is too tempting. All retakers- don’t fall into this trap. I made this mistake.

Hope others that have taken the exams will provide their tips/learning lessions. Every help makes a difference. 4 months to go....

Thanks for the reply. I registered for the live version. With this, I have access to previous recordings as well. So, effectively it is the same. Waiting for the binders to come through the mail. I know I am going to miss a few live sessions. For this, I have the option to go to the April 2019...

Can someone describe the difference between EET live webinar vs. recording (with respect to SE courses)? Does live webinar registered folks get access to previous recordings of the material?

I thought it would help fellow examinees to have a forum to help them prepare for the upcoming Oct 2019 exam. I will be registering to take the Lateral Building portion only. I did not make it through on the April 2019 Lateral. Passed vertical a few years back (3 year old kid ago to be exact)...

Congrats. You have to share some of your secrets.

A re-do for me too. The am was brutal for me. I got 30/40 in the last two exam. This time, it was 24. 😞

Wonder if NCCES publishes the revenue by various exams.. would be interested to see heist from SEs. I am sure its big pot.

So if we do not hear by tomorrow, NCCES will set a record. lol

'Not Study More' but if you have a longer time frame, you can fit it better with your lifestyle. I think if I were to retake, 100 to 150 hours max is the range that I consider sufficient to sit for the lateral only. I think the duration can be shorter if the exam comes earlier (e.g. April 2019...

Good for you for starting early but I am so close or hoping to pass so I hesitate. Fishing vs. study for an exam that I have a good shot at passing. Go Figure... lol

My approach is 'strike while it is hot'. Good for you. My whole point is - A lot of folks would pass if the preparation time was say 5 months for the re-takers instead of 3.5 months. I am already counting the weekends that I have available here till Oct.

Folks - If you are re-taker for the April 2019, what are your thoughts on this? In general, the release of the exam result is too late. If the April 2019 exam results come out by mid to end of June, the re-takers are left with 3.5 to 4 months to prepare for the exam. Factor these with kids...

Hopefully the results come in by Friday. At this day and age, I am surprised that NCEES does not have a set target date for exam release. You plan for it and make it happen - publish a date. 8 to 10 weeks ..really?  I probably checked my email / logged in to MyNCEES at least 30 times the last...

Another day goes by.  Hoping it does not become 'Another Summer Goes by'. Life has been on hold because of this dang thing for the past two years. 😞

Fingers crossed! Good luck everyone. Could today be the day? Wonder what everyone's plans are if they make it over to the other side? I am going to take the next day off to do nothing.

I am wondering what 'hard' grading means.... not meeting all the statistical norms of a bell curving the results?

I got notification for the last exam on 12/10 (Monday). So I'm hoping it will be today or next Monday?? arghhh.

Thank You "Future SE"..soon to be "Past SE". Good Luck. I will seriously consider the EET if I don't make it this round. I am familiar with the seismic detailing but I am not practicing buildings lately (last few years). Will hopefully help me to stay focused. I passed PE CA Seismic without...

"Past SE" would be too obvious of a name change.
