I would say that the wood design aspect of both exams is relatively simple. You are probably having a tough time with those problems that are incidentally involving wood. What I mean is, when you see a wood-framed building in lateral, you are probably seeing it as a multi-story wood shearwall...

THIS ITEM IS NOW SOLD.

Yes - I believe I averaged 30/40 on both the lateral and the vertical. The lateral morning portion - I was so confident that I felt that I didn't miss one. Nonetheless, I probably only passed 3 out of 4 in the morning and aced only 2 of the 4 afternoon problems on both. I think I squeeked by...

I think for the April 2012 exam, they posted the pass rates about a week after the workshop. Then, it was another week for those that were able to log on to the NCEES website.

http://www.bpelsg.ca.gov/applicants/ap12stats.shtml The link shown in the CA board for pass rates seems to reflect the national average (although CA is slightly less than National average), and it also seems to indicate that the national average for passing both exams in the same semi-annual...

The WA SE III had a pass rate ranging from 22%-28%, but I never saw it in the 30's. It was truly an elitist exam - the year I took it, no one in Oregon passed. There were at least 13-14 examinees at the Eugene location.

Another poll question I didn't consider is this: Do you feel that an advanced structural license in addition to the Civil PE should be compensated additionally? If so, by what percent? (For example, if one bills at $90/hour, is it prudent to bill at $95-$100 given that a structural could...

Thanks kevo! I wonder if SEAOC or other chapters will do something about this? I think NCEES will have a tough time making the Vertical equal to the same difficulty as the Lateral - especially if California or Washington start influencing things. I personally felt that they were equally...

After noticing the last stated results for the NCEES 16 hour SE were around 45% and 46% for each exam component, I am curious what people feel about these results. Are the pass rates a statement of who's who or should it be easier? Thoughts?

Layman, I think what you're asking is for there to be a structural bridge engineer license and a structural building engineer license. Thoughts?

JoeBoone is right - it depends on the kind of work you do. I feel that RISA is tops for steel design. It NOW can do anything that RAMSteel can do. I was always annoyed at RAMSTEEL's complicated proof of licensure procedure. I'm not sure if they've fixed all the glitches just to be able to...

As Dakota mentioned, I can feel your pain. If you think it's tough now, just wait until this board gets flooded with the "I PASSED" "FAILED" comments... I was one of the last to know by the wonderful Oregon state board. For now, I would focus on what accomplishments you made (ie Chosen one...

http://ncees.org/Documents/Public/Exam%20specifications/Str%20Friday%20AM%20(Breadth%20Vertical%20Forces)_2011.pdf The above link shows that the new 2008 MSJC is required. I like the exam format right now as the exam is consistent with chapter 35 of the IBC 2009. The old NCEES review book...

You are correct. You really should purchase the new code book.

Has anyone applied for comity to other states from a civil PE to an PE+SE designation?

I'm not sure if I can comment on your link, but I always use appendix 6 of the AISC. Thoughts?

http://forums.ppi2pass.com/Thread-Rayleigh-procedure-Question-for-seismic-SE-s Thought you'd be interested in an old post... ...good times. I was a blabbering ***** on the old forums. :)

You'll need the 2008 version (I think) of the SDPWS.

The eccentricity is outside of the 'kern', therefore, it's not that simple.
