My recommendation is do what clears your mind more. I got to the point where I just didn't want to study anymore. Obviously I was missing something, but I couldn't hit the nail in the head. Still haven't done so. But I also haven't taken it again. Will do in April hopefully. However, I actually...

So apparently PPI welcomes corrections to their manuals, but doesn't let you print out the erratas unless you buy their digital manuals. I guess being bought out by Kaplan changed this. Does anyone have errata for the Water Resources and Environmental Depth Reference Manual (Brant and Kauffman)...

Just my two cents. I've actually been taking the civil/structural (for a while). Last October I loaded my books in the truck, had the hotel reserved (two rooms as my parents were dropping me off) and the night before leaving I decided to skip it. I had been considering, and talking it over with...

Did you get a response? 

Just take it in what ever area you feel comes easier to you. Regardless which one you take, based on the couple areas you have experience in, you are bound to have to grind on some sections more than others. I took and failed the civil/structural, and I’m done trying for now. Structural is all...

When I took it, it had a 7 day trial. IF you canceled by the 7th day you would get refunded. I thought it was a good and fun way to study. However, a lot of problems are much more difficult than on exam. I think their are different Hubs you can take and I took the one with the 16th Edition CERM...

fps: by Arthur Nilson, Design of Prestressed Concrete, "the steel stress when the beam fails. It may be equal to fpu, but is usually somewhat below it depending on the geometry of the beam, steel ratio, material properties and initial prestress in steel."  fpe:  by ACI, compressive stress in...

Same question here. 

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I had previously had questions about video cards etc regarding speed. However, this time it was solely regarding PCIe drives. I have  SSDs on both my systems and one system has 7th generation CPU i7 on it but works fine. I've actually tried the Fire Pro and Quadro...

For the longest time i have been frustrating with watching large PDF plans (24x36) on the computer. Ive added 32 gigs of ram and have an X99 6 core processor and 1 GTX 1080 video card. But still slow. I ran into PCIe hard drives for sbout 500$ and im wondering if it would help to view large...

I took it with Structural Depth. While the course is very well organized, beware the instructors will only answer questions pertaining to the actual examples. For example, on a problem given regarding deflection, the moment of inertia for the cross section was given and I calculated it instead...

Thanks for all the recommendations. I will wait for April next year. Good Luck to everyone taking exam tomorrow! 

And @RBHeadge PE it does NOT count as a fail. After your first attempt you have 2 years to use the last 2 exam attempts, but on your first if you dont show up it does not count against you. I did contact the board. 

So I've decided to skip the exam this friday. I have not had the time to dedicate for it and If I couldn't get it done when I did study I can't possibly think why I could get it done this time around. Does anyone know of any upcoming changes to the exam next year that I should consider before...

Call NCEES. I have no idea if it's too late, but that's the first thing you should do. Assuming your state exam is administered with NCEES. I tried to cancel and was told " Not Possible". They just suggested to not attend as exams are packed and ready to be handed out. Just FYI. Good Luck.

Traveling down stairs with all those books sucks!

See if this helps. This is an excerpt from Prestressed Design by Arthur Nilson. Its an old book but very nice.

We are about 3 weeks away from the exam. I haven't been able to study this time due to work, but I'm calm. I've taken time before in my life to do just this, Study, and have been unsuccessful. However, when you have taken this exam a couple times you tend to remember questions that you knew...

So looking into analysis and design of joists, not working on selecting correct joist but actually designing joist, I run into the 2.5k joists. I understand the recommended substitutions for them, but I'm curious how they are installed. I always thought the function of these were to brace the...

IT would help if you can post the question, I don't have the all in one with me. are you referring to the natural frequency? or natural period?
