You mean I get out of EB ASAP?

I also never had a test done. I got both my shots. But, apparently I can still get the dreaded stuff from others who carry it and be asymptomatic. Some young guys/gals also carry it and are asymptomatic because of their young and strong immune system. The good thing is that I cannot get it just...

I owe an apology. I saw this: Vertical Forces (Gravity/Other) and Incidental Lateral Component of the Structural Engineering BREADTH Exam Specifications Effective Beginning with the April 2018 Examinations This was the Specifications. Apparently there is no change to them in 2021 October exam...

They say tests are designed and graded to be of comparable difficulty. I think I read something somewhere some time ago about them asking a group of engineers to rate each question on a Must get it right; good to get it right; will be nice to get it right....and then use that data to perform an...

Does this work for COVID-19 also?

Now that I read every word everywhere, all it says is 8th edition. No reference to supplements, interims or anything.

Okay, I had a hard time getting this through. I had to scratch my head. Kevo came to mind. When I kept asking people to click on the link they were posting, saying it leads to the same page as the current listing of standards and that still shows the the four 2018 onwards set of standards, I...

Be_n, I know I have this trouble not reading every word in the exam question. May be NCEES ADHD! https://ncees.org/engineering/pe-structural/ This is what NCEES also gives under SE specifications. I clicked on the link in your earlier post also. Both roads led me to Rome not 2021 specs. Can...

@Eng_Br. I don’t know where these attachments/information came from but as I said earlier, NCEES exam specifications are still showing the last - April 2018 onwards....set. I just checked it again. To me that is the official notice. So I am lost.

They were going to rehash ACI into self-contained member based chapters each containing everything you need within itself without having to flip from chapter to chapter as in 318-14. That would be easier for everyone alike, whether designers or examinees.

Not officially yet. The specifications posted as of today have not changed. Perhaps on Monday. The new and improved sample exam is like any previous instances. Nothing of a makeover. I have see some of the sneak peek questions in some places. The one on Steel Special Concentric Braced Frame...

You hit the nail squarely on the head. A writing instrument is first about balance, then close upon its heels grip. Old is gold. I had this discomfiture writing with this pencil and at home would even try my hand at both. What a contrast - one longer like a real pencil, slim and proper, the...

I think from what I read earlier it will be in line with the new specifications. All planned in advance. So I bet new set of specifications will also be unveiled together.

Was it on wood screws?

Yes, this is our guessing game now. I have seen detailed grading criteria for each problem in the rather old sample exams. Reading those gives me a good idea of how they expect a problem to be approached by it being broken down into a step-by-step approach. Each step I expect has different...

With the fog slowly clearing up, if what I am thinking is the same last part of a multi-part (not multiple choice as in AM) question in the PM, that was a typo from the keys of the two alphabets being one below the other on the keyboard and pressing the unintended one. Happens a lot and depends...

Agreed, if they are specifying ultimate bearing pressure. But if they give only the allowable pressure, as they do sometimes, then you need 2 steps - one for stability using ASD combos, another for design of Concrete elements using LRFD. If only ultimate bearing pressure is given, do we reduce...

I also felt there were moments when I questioned what I was reading but I am choosing to clear my storage memory for better things. IMHO, remembering these past questions do not amount to much. The constructed questions are not so real life that each exam will have its own set of conditions to...

Can one still get a passing grade if it is not found to fix it?
