Ok, thanks! Just wanted to make sure my time hasn't run out yet! :)

Have you recieved the class notes or problems yet? I'm a bit worried my work email may have blocked his...

Does anyone know how many times you can retake the PE in Virginia before having to reapply? I've heard three years before, but I've never seen anything official. Thanks!

I signed up for it...I've heard some really good things so I hope it will be just what I need to pass!

Great, thanks!

Hey, does anyone know if I need to get ACI 318-05 or if the 02 version would be fine for the civil-structural exam? I'm not aware of any big changes between the two.

Just wondering for those who have taken civil-structural if the NCEES practice test afternoon questions were representative of the actual exam questions or if you found the exam to be easier or harder. Thanks!

The first time I took structural 1 I didn't study, and failed with a 69%...so although I did come close to passing didn't quite make it. Although I did leave thinking the test was a lot easier than I had heard...obviously I missed some things while taking it! :) It's funny how after that I...

Well for most states you could have taken and passed either exam and worked on buildings, and even the states that do recognize the SE, they only required it for certain types of building design. Although I do see where you're coming from. I never understood why they would have two exams, one...

I ordered the NCEES civil-structural study guide last week when I found out I failed structural 1, it arrived this evening and I decided to try out some of the questions. I haven't looked at them all yet, but from what I've done so far, it has been a lot easier than the structural 1 study...

Hey, I've been looking around for civil PE prep courses and I've found a few and I'm trying to figure out which one is best for me. I need something that's a bit more in depth I think because I didn't graduate from a civil program and don't have experience with some of the topics like...

I failed again, and I wasn't all that surprised. I left feeling like it could easily have gone either way. I had a huge problem with trusting my answers this past fall. Last April I left the test thinking I aced it, and although according to my diagnostic report I did score well for most...

That's good to know, thanks! I think I will try out the civil-structural this April. Thanks for the advice!

Similar think happened to me. First time I took it I failed with a 69, second time my calculator broke and I had to guess most of the afternoon questions, and somehow managed to pull a 67 out of that attempt. Failed again this fall, and have been debating taking the civil/struct or the 16 hour...

Anyone know of a good civil review course in DC? Or perhaps a good online course?

I'm wondering this as well. I can't seem to pass the structural (although I do keep getting 69's so I'm sooooo damn close!), and I really don't want to take the 16 hour test in April. The problem I have is I didn't graduate from a civil program, so the only background I have is in building...

Ugh, failed again. Think I'll try civil next time...I can't imagine trying to take the 16 hour structural!

That note makes my failing last April seem a bit more clear now. According to my diagnostic report out of the 10 subjects I got 80% or above on all but two of them. The two I got a 24% and a 35% correct, so I couldn't for the life of me figure out how I failed the exam, but now that they're...

Did anyone take the structural 1 exam and pass? What were your thoughts after the test? I took it in October and I'm still waiting on results. I failed last April, and I had thought I had done really well for that one, so now I'm really worried about October's test since I thought it was a...

The last two times the results came out on Monday...so I'm guessing (hoping!!!) it will be next Monday.
