Crud, based on what I've heard I think that unacceptable was the only thing that caused you to fail. :(

Darn, looks like you have a bit to go for lateral but getting vertical out of the way and having seen lateral once already will likely give you a really good chance of passing lateral the next time around. Nicely done!

Having advised a lot of people in your same situation I'd say each has it's merits but I'd highly recommend splitting them up.

Sounds about right for IL. :(

I believe on-demand gives you all of the course videos from the previous lecture series. I dunno, I only teach the course. :P If you want I can get you the email of the people to ask. If it's from this October (which went quite well so it's a good one to get) the bridge info will be slightly...

I believe IL still hasn't even posted PE results so it's probably soon when they will post but I don't know when that will be.

I believe this is true. The person I quoted did not get all acceptable (one unacceptable) and didn't get a passing morning score, thus the failure. I'm simply remarking that it was interesting they were able to get an "acceptable" for an afternoon problem that they didn't full finish.

I got an email from someone who unfortunately failed a part of the SE exam. They however did find an interesting nugget of information; at the end of the afternoon they ran out of time and had to write out steps for the problem. In their words: This has been confirmed before; however I don't...

Based on failing scores people have reported in the past I’ve made the following conclusions (I made a bigger post earlier this year discussing this on EB). You need approximately 28-30 on the morning. If you have a good morning score then you likely need two "acceptable" and two...

A number of the PPI SE course takers have reported in to me (all passes so far). Many said that they were sure they failed but had happy surprises. Almost all said that they felt this years lateral exam was harder than the PPI and NCEES sample exams.

A number of students in the PPI class I lecture and on the structural forum here on EB. They're released by state as well, typically they're released with the PE scores in each state but this is the first time in a number of years the December results have been split.

SE exam results are being released.

Congratulations dussbucs! You've certainly had a rough ride through this but I bet that makes it all the more worth it. Congratulations to everyone else getting a passing score.

Got confirmation from a coworker that Maine released results last night (Dec. 8th), he passed.

Yep, haven't heard back from any SE candidates yet but will definitely post if I hear from them.

As an instructor for PPI's review course I would be very curious to see what the improvement is over the general passing rate is. It's really hard to find quantifiable data on review courses that isn't somewhat subjective.

If you miss out on the early-bird I might be able to get you a discount code, I believe the early bird special gets you more of a discount though. Yes, it would come from those texts with a small handful additionally from the Structural Engineering Reference Manual. If you're signing up for...

Howdy! - PPI's review books, being the PPI is a publisher company first they like to promote their texts. My personal opinion is this is good as I find the texts to be very beneficial to passing the SE course and are highly recommended by other examinees. Thus, taking the review course gets you...

We actually used to offer a lateral-only course but found that too many vertical topics included information pertinent to the lateral exam and ended up being part of the lateral course anyway. For example, things like wood connections, steel beam and column design, concrete flexure and shear...

Yeah, I had them for the FE exam and for both attempts at the SE (2x Vertical, 2x Lateral). The head proctor lady has such a hypnotic voice when she reads off the instructions at the start, almost puts me to sleep. I can almost hear her now; "the time is 7:01, you may begin".
