Same issue for me. Cannot find this report published anywhere...

For another perspective on this (from a buildings guy)... I think it's more like 25% AASHTO, 75% all the other codes So in that sense I don't think it's that unreasonable since there are about 9+/- primary codes that the exam requires you to be proficient with. So in that sense, AASHTO is an...

Sorry to hear that. Just got my results -- Passed the Lateral (structures). Finally done.

Thanks for the response -- how did you gather intel on what other companies are offering? Job postings? Friends?

Congrats -- what kind of articles did you present as evidence?

NCEES publishes a document showing the breakdown of topics on the exam. Seems to me that it's followed quite closely. I'd look at that (it also lists required codes) and start there. I picked up the seismic package from PPI along with the SEAOC 1, 2 and 3 books and found them quite useful.

It's red. October 2012 - Green April 2013 - Blue October 2013 - Red

It's more a matter of my employer being flexible with my time than the school having a part-time program per se. I'm at University of Texas at Austin. As far as I know I'm the only person who has ever even attempted it there :) Basically I take 1 class a semester and work on a research...

Definitely planning to do this if/when I pass the SE. Frame PE and SE certs with their pencils :)

1) Austin, TX 2) BS Civil, MS Structural, ~1/2 way through Ph.D. in Civil (part-time) 3) 3 years pre-grad experience (co-ops and internships) in research, bridge inspection, drafting and structural engineering 5 years post-grad experience in specialized structural engineering field (defense...

Come onnnn NCEES -- stay strong -- get those grades input and posted! I'm dying here!

Where do you put in your license(s)? I see experience and degrees but not any input for PE and/or SE?

This level of difficulty, as I understand it, is true no matter what your afternoon discipline is. The material is relatively simple if you're able to suss out the important and unimportant information. And, frankly, a good engineer ought to be able to do just that. This exam is not required...

I think CA is the only state with extra exams anymore. And there's buzz that this may not be the case for much longer as the SE is a standard exam everywhere now and the requirements for superfluous exams to differentiate the CA state licensure is not necessary.

Where'd you get the 12/5 date from? Also, the real question here is when are the SE results getting posted!? eh!?

Me too -- here's hoping I can get through the lateral exam the second time around. The first time through I spent probably 75% of my time reviewing for the first exam and 25% for the second assuming there would be a lot of overlap. Truth be told, there really isn't much. I highly recommend...

Yea -- I won't be failing this one twice... for good or bad I'm going to suffer again studying for weeks on end to make sure I don't EVER have to take this exam again.

Damnit... Passed vertical. Failed lateral.

Since it's on the NCEES site wouldn't they all just go up at the same time?

I hope that's not a bad sign...
