My application also just got approved!

A coworker told me it has been more than a year since he applied to take the California specific seismic and surveying exams. There was a slight problem with his application, he fixed it, and then he had to go to the back of the line. What is going on in California?!?!?

Sorry to hear that friend. Can you elaborate what review classes you've taken? Also I wonder what books you are using. I took 2 review classes. The first review class that I took was the NCSEA SE Refresher course, this was OK, but not enough to get me through the Lateral Exam. I took the AEI...

I am from Utah so just took it in Utah and they told me that is fine and I would just apply as a comity application (even though I am not licensed as SE anywhere yet).

I love watching hot dog cart videos on YT. A man can dream.

I am also waiting for my application, but mine is a comity application since I already passed the SE exam in another state. Best of luck and I will let you know if anything happens with mine.

RP - it sounds like you are just jealous of his/her architect licensure. OP - https://www.udemy.com/course/trout-fishing-a-simple-method-for-catching-more-trout That's the certification that I would go for, but it requires some field practice. Do you know how to weld? That is fun and yet...

I would just have a little fun and do something in your spare time that you enjoy.

Just sent my application today. I have already taken and passed the exam. Fingers crossed for a speedy process!

Well if you don't want to print a PDF then I guess your options are to either buy a copy from AASHTO or to go without it.

I think in reality you probably just need part 1 which is the first 6 chapters.

Oh my goodness I passed Lateral on the 3rd attempt. I feel like I am in shock....

Here is a pro tip. Last time I saw on EB that results were flowing in but I hadn't gotten my email yet, so I decided to call my state board and they got to tell me over the phone that I had failed. It was awkward. Just wait the little bit for your email to come in.

Yes the thought is if you get a "Unacceptable" then it is an automatic fail, but we don't really know that for sure because we don't see the passing grades. For example if you got 38/40 in the morning maybe you could still get an Unacceptable on 1 question and pass. We just don't know. There...

But if you do a little better on the AM you can do a little worse on the PM, but there are still minimums for both that have to be passed. This from a helpful NCEES employee email.

I *think* I did pretty well on the AM. I was able to get through 35 questions before running out of time which in my experience is pretty good (third time taking lateral). But I think I missed several parts on the PM Masonry question because I was running out of time and I think I messed up the...

They are probably preparing their financials......buying highly leveraged call options on booze companies. They foresee a spike in demand. Results will be out Friday.

Also I would like to just say don't believe what the NCEES chat says. For the PE exam I had them tell me results definitely weren't coming out a particular day and then they came out 15 minutes later.

No one is sure, we are just hoping / guessing.
