If you're going to Google "panic gif," at least scroll a few images down before copy-pasting... :P

If it makes you feel better, I think it's a GIF of Michael Cera's character being slapped/throat punched by Kat Dennings' character in the movie "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist." I think. Maybe...? I like to imagine that she's throat punching him, personally.

Same! :wave: Though I graduated in Winter quarter and walked in 2011. Funny enough, they had me in the ceremony pamphlets in 2011 and 2012

... I mean, I didn't C my way through the Surveying test at any point, but I've still got mixed feelings about the test overall.

That'd be the one! Amusingly, my fiancee might go there for grad school, albeit for Food Science. Fingers crossed.

If I don't pass, it'll probably be because I blanked on basic trig (Law of Sines, SAS/SSS theorems) on about two or three problems...

The one I feel most "borderline" about is the surveying... I work with Seismic all the time, and I feel comfortable with how I did, even though I think I got one whole night of studying in on the subject.

All three. Anyone take the surveying and seismic exams on the same day, like I did?

BPELSG website should show that it's been updated today by now, but it's still showing the last update as Friday, May 20th... #graspingatstraws

For both tests, I did a first run through without bubbling, then went back over a second time and started bubbling. If I made it through the whole test the second time, I would make a third run through to make sure I didn't make any silly errors. This worked really well for me on the AM portion...

How many here have taken the CA Seismic and/or Surveying Exam yet? Anyone feel comfortable enough in their own shoes about the exam without reliving the nightmare?

I think the subject was "Chance in Hell You Pass." :P

I'm almost certain that you can, though you do then take liability for any engineering deficiencies, of course. Also, I'm not sure if it's prohibited by whichever State you are in, but you might also be able to get away with providing a letter certifying the acceptable construction of the...

What bugs me is that these sorts of connections aren't usually subject to overstrength/"amplified" design in the AWFPA wood shear wall design provisions, and the AISI-S213/S400 codes were (allegedly) written to mirror typical wood design requirements. I'm currently specifying (12)-#10 SMS at...

Aha! But what it truly was is a trick designed for people that think that trick problems were just tricks to keep people thinking that there would be trick problems!

I'm pretty sure I got that one, but I was livid that it was on the test. Because, I mean, really? Is that something that we REALLY, TRULY need to know as a professional engineer?

Shot in the dark: Anyone here proficient in the application of AISI-S213 (or AISI-S400, since the cold-form Code has recently been updated) with respect to the seismic design coefficients and provisions in Chapter 12 of ASCE 7-10? ASCE says to use an R value of 6.5 for wood-sheathed cold-form...
