    February 2019 Test Results

    In my first try, I used PPI and had several other resources/workbooks as well but I failed hard. In my second try, I felt super confident leaving the exam room. Like I felt as if I only got 7 questions wrong max. And yes I passed. Its all about dat Reza

    February 2019 Test Results

    Man I got lucky cuz I took the October test (for both Seismic and Survey) which had the earliest results release date (November 7). I took the test on October 31st,  so I only had to wait a week. Funny part to all this is that my birthday was on October 30th so I ended up not studying that day...

    December 2018 Test Results

    Actually... you have to pass  the national exam BEFORE you take the state exams. In order to register for the state exams, you have to fill out an application which has a checklist. One of the items in that checklist says something like "I have passed the National NCEES Exam". You have to have...

    January 2019 Test Results

    Looks like you got real close PEMaster. Especially if you average out the 1 Proficient and 1 Deficient. So in general I think you need to be confident in 35/55 (speculation of course).

    CA Seismic Practice Exams - Difficulty

    The Hiner workbook (comes with practice exams) is all you really need. EET is great as well of course. You only need one of those (either Hiner or EET).

    CPESR vs Mahallati Surveying Review Coarse

    There's 4 quizzes and 1 mini exam that comes with the workbook. All of them should be included inside the workbook. There are also practice problems to do after each of his chapters (also inside his workbook). In terms of quizzes/practice exams outside of the workbook, there isn't really any...

    CPESR vs Mahallati Surveying Review Coarse

    On my first attempt I used PPI and the manual from CPESR (I did not have any other CPESR materials). I did not pass by a long shot. On my second attempt I bought the Reza workbook and studied that thing pretty hard. I ended up leaving the exam feeling super confident, I was pretty confident on...

    Application approval and exam registration time?

    It usually takes around 60 days for them to process your application. So if you apply early February, you'll probably get approval by early April. April is the 2nd quarter which means you'll have to take it the third quarter. The third quarter is July-September.

    Hiner vs. EET

    Lol I was in your same boat the first time I took the exam.  I had pro, def, mar, mar, def, mar. Pretty sure you need an average of all marginal to pass. If my proficient made up for one of my marginals, then I would still be shy by 1 marginal.

    Hiner vs. EET

    Half my co-workers took Hiner, the other half took EET. At the end, they both passed on their 1st or 2nd attempt. At the end, it's all based on your study habits. Take every answer you see here with a grain of salt, everyone just vouches for the course they personally took. Only someone who took...

    I'll play along. I took the October Test, I got my results on November 7 @ 12:43pm.

    Hiner vs. EET

    I took Hiner and self-studied the workbook, I didn't do the online course. I don't have a structural background and I passed. I've also heard EET is really amazing. So either way you're set.

    Seismic Reference Materials

    I felt it was about the same the second time. I hear the board spends a lot of effort to make each exam the same level of difficulty each quarter.

    Seismic Reference Materials

    I didn't have to bring the AWC SDPWS. Hiner and I'm pretty sure EET, have all the necessary tables from that book already included in their workbook.  I passed Seismic last month. All i needed was Hiner and ASCE 7-10. I brought the IBC both times that I took the test but never really had to use...
