Mighty is correct. Also, be sure to reference the NCEES study outline and tab the AISC Seismic Design Manual (SDM) to match what they plan to test one. The SDM is short, but very dense and zoning in on the important topics is key to using your time wisely. It also makes digesting the SDM easier...

We'll agree to disagree. "Understanding theory" is very general and doesn't mean much if you think about it. What theory are you trying to understand and related to what subject? Most individuals won't have experience in all building materials thus flow charts and having important "theories"...

I do not believe daily experience is needed. It may help on a question or two that are qualitative in nature, but the numbers questions are very academic in nature and studying/creating shortcuts like flow charts are key.

Yes, if you plan to take test in North Carolina

This guy below gave good advice and also gives out flow charts related to structural problems:

In North Carolina you can, and in states that have effectively disconnected experience requirements with sitting for PE and/or SE, I would assume you can as well. I just went through this process in NC and it took all of 10 minutes to register for SE exam through NCEES after verifying with NC...

OP taking the last paper and pencil Chem PE exam...*slow clap*

Questions were randomly ordered when I took in Spring 2016. That doesn't mean you can't answer them in order. I've seen that test taking strategy used so that you can focus on one topic at a time. Idk how effective it is though. I personally prefer just skipping hard ones till after answering...

If it's not on the PE exam study outline provided by NCEES which is published on their website then it won't be on the exam. Secondly, the ethics exam was given by the state board of NC not NCEES so there would be no connection regardless. To be licensed in NC I would still assume you would need...

I'm taking SE Vertical/Lateral Buildings and do about 5 problems a day on average. I draft more flow charts than actual problems. Probably complete 10 flow charts a week on different "typical" problems

Just study the practice exams and take the test. Experience has little to do with passing the exam in my opinion. Sure you may run across a question here and there that you can answer easier if you happened to have dealt with the code scenario at work, but that is what table of contents are...

I agree with Hugh Jass. By buying second hand notes or going halves on a registration you are not doing anything unethical. The person buying the notes and/or half a registration understands they are not getting the full experience of the course which translates to paying a fraction of the cost...

Hmm that might be tough. I don't think that will work either. That equates to an internship in my eyes and at least in NC they do not accept internships as work experience only Co-OP's. I would try comity. At least you'll have a license and would be able to call yourself a PE. Don't listen to...

Apply to a different state if possible and reapply to Louisiana through comity. May be a possible work around to your situation. It's either that or wait another year

I disagree 1/2 way. I civil PE with experience only in designing grading packages is different than a civil PE who only has experience designing round-a-bouts. Just because a person has a PE license doesn't mean they can design anything civil related without experience. For me the depth section...

I believe ethics plays a significant role. I think you missed the point of the video though. He states you can take whatever depth you want as long as you can justify it in your mind. In other words. The drawing that you stamp after receiving your PE...are you comfortably stamping it because of...

I agree with SE_FL. Take a job you can get while still applying for the position you want. With your experience you can probably obtain a job with a GC fairly easily and this is actually great experience to carry over to structural engineering design/analysis work. It was the route I took. Many...

This guy on youtube has provided free flowchart for me. Just send him a message and ask if he has a certain flowchart or tip on a certain section. If he has it, he gives it for free. If not he'll point you to the best option he knows.

Any answer you get will be pure speculation..no one knows except those who work for NCEES, but the consensus is if you get one "not acceptable" you'll fail
