Yep, I agree with Kirby. CA seismic is a cakewalk after you have taken SE lateral with AEI. A course for CA seismic seems redundant in my opinion.

After so much preparation, I failed SE lateral twice. Now this time the work pressure (what an excuse!), and the phobia of "Failure-after-working-hard" kept me away from the books. I have less than 4 weeks to prepare which is a change in strategy compared to the last 2 times when I prepared for...

CA already has a state test specifically for seismic. Adding another seismic test just for structural would be an overkill. I mean how many tests are we supposed to take in CA - 8 hr PE, 2.5 hr survey, 2.5 hr seismic, then 16 hr SE and/or CA state test just for seismic?

I think they might just make the afternoon multiple choice. I don't think essay typing would make any sense.

Thanks for your input. But I know how the grading is done and this is not my first time taking the test, and I am fully aware of what to expect after I write an answer. But maybe I made too many mistakes and did not present the answers that they were looking for. It would have been nice to look...

I am 100% sure that this exam has a lot of flaws to test one's competency. The difficulty of the question is not the problem, but grading is. I got U on the subject area where I scored 100% correct in the morning. I also do not believe how they can put U on the question I was sure of in the...

I got an A in steel and masonry but got U in general analysis and concrete. This was very surprising as I was expecting an A in general analysis, concrete and masonry, and maybe an IR in steel. I had an A in concrete the last term but SE gods have a different opinion now.

@walacha Sorry dude. I feel your pain. It was so close. That U to IR would have passed you. I am feeling pretty defeated after failing 2nd time despite having a solid prep. But hey, we can't stop yet. Let's get back up, dust ourselves off after this fall, and do it again. We will get there soon...

I really appreciate that. What did you change this time or every time?

Many congratulations @shmoo916 How do you pick yourself up every time you see that red box. After giving my best shot and yet seeing the red box, I feel like this can never happen.

FAILED lateral again :(. 28/30, A, U, U, A. Last term my concrete was A but now they think I don't know concrete anymore. I could NOT have prepared any better. Pretty frustrating.

Are there any west coast people with results here? NV or CA?

Hence proved!!!

Results travel East to West. Please prove me wrong.

That's awesome!!!! Which board?

They said, "keep checking the NCEES account." 😅 also said that it would be today, and shouldn't take until tomorrow. My guess is we should receive it by 4-5 pm today. All the people who got their results so far are in eastern time.

I just talked to the Nevada board. They said that NCEES emails them for confirmation, once the board says yes, it's on NCEES to update our account. NV board said that they have already okayed the result release. So NCEES needs to update our account with the result.

You were so close, only masonry messed you up. You got this next time man.

I am sorry man, in which state did you take your exam, if I may ask?

I am sorry man. I really hope next time you're done with this test. Usually lateral is harder to pass than vertical, that's why it surprises me why wouldn't you pass vertical with a good score in AM and feeling confident in the PM.
