Pending results I might be able to give better insight, but I took the Hiner Seismic review and I found it to be excellent. I agree with ptatohed that you should be able to pass with just self study. Having taken the Hiner course, I think if you just buy the workbook and go through it and do...

Even though I have to wait a few weeks for the CA Seismic and Survey, I take some comfort in the fact I can see my 8hr results along with everyone else when the NCEES website posts them.

I know of someone who spent a lot of time learning how to use an RPN and didn't pass because you don't really know what/how you are supposed to calculate something. Use what you're comfortable with - I'm pretty sure if you know the material like you should, you can pass using any of the...

In CA, I worked full time before graduating but the only experience they counted was post graduate endeavors.

CA: Civil_Tranpso, Seismic, and Survey

From what I understand, the NCEES website will be the first to update you on whether or not you passed the 8hr. I think it's another 7 weeks minimum?

You should check with the board, but it does sound like it qualifies since you already have your BS. You're doing engineering work under supervision of someone with a PE - your manager. Worst case, you submit your paperwork and letters and it gets declined. You should double check but if you...

I agree that the prismoidal would make more sense. On the test, if I run into a problem like such I'll probably use AEA or prismoidal unless otherwise indicated. I haven't found any compelling reason to consider this type of volume as a pyramid. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply, I think the problem I have is that the solution says to use the pyramid formula, Area of base x height / 3. Let's just say for the cut section, isn't that volume more precisely represented as two wedges? Volume STA 23+25 to 24+00 75 x 10 x / 2 x 30 / 27 = 416.7 yd^3...

Hi everyone, quick question that hopefully someone can help me understand. Study material: Spring 2008, Surveying for California Civil Engineering License by Dr. Shahin Mansour In the practice exam 2, number two, they ask to calculate the cut/fill volumes of a highway profile with 30ft width...
