My number still isn't up...... my last name is the worst.

Just passed surveying. Knew I was going to resell it so made very minimal notes in it. Sells for $139 on his website. Selling for $75. Venmo is easiest.

Passed survey! I'm a PE! How did everyone else do?

Man this wait is killer!

Yeah I did

Passed Seismic!

It is here

I used a great book, "Seismic Principles" by Paul Richards. I think it is leaps and bounds better than any other seismic book. But then again I feel like I did terrible on the Seismic (even though I use Seismic design every day). So I guess the proof will be in the pudding.

But for sure this is better than waiting for the PE exam results. I doubt if it will be this week. Probably next.

Took both last Monday (per advice I received on here to take it at the end of the month). They were way harder than I expected, we will see how I do.

Yes there are interaction equations for masonry and concrete. I can provide references when I get home from work. The interaction diagrams are based on the interaction equations.

Isn't that really expensive though? My firm is super cheap compared to others, they just gave me $250 + exam fees + the day off. So I was just able to buy practice exams, some reference materials. Luckily I borrowed the CERM from a coworker. It seems like other companies pay for entire $1000 (or...

I have seen people ask if they needed to take a review course (this thread on reddit). I don't think so because I just sort of self-studied and that worked for me. In your case do you feel like you could've passed with just self-study?

Yeah I felt like some of the AM questions belonged in the PM sections of the various depths. That was frustrating ...

I thought the CERM Practice Manual was not useful at all. Also Aliakbari's practice structural was heavily littered with errors to the point that it was not helpful at all. I thought NCEES obviously was good, PE Prepared LLC was good, CivilPEPractice.com was alright but it seemed like they just...
