    Oh Nancy — salt of the earth that lady, we should send her an edible arrangement. Or a coupon for a free walk out deck load rating.

    Is the AISC Seismic Design Manual essential to have for the SE lateral exam?

    Yeaaaaaaa that’s what it is. Ec may be asce7-16 diaphragm thing or something, haven’t really done any prep yet, I guess I’m naively hoping I pass this time but completely agree on the system bit…. One of those vague off ramps (or on ramp depending lol) that the code gives for itself to hide...

    Is the AISC Seismic Design Manual essential to have for the SE lateral exam?

    I can deal with the soft cover but the unhighlightable pages makes me hate hate hate it, oh yea, Ec is it? Something like that? Finally a variable for the mysterious catch all of “….or whatever the system can deliver”

    Is the AISC Seismic Design Manual essential to have for the SE lateral exam?

    One last point — you’re correct, the examples are long. So what I did was I outlined them, each example has its number, bold sub headings and italicized non bold sub sub headings…. Which begs for an outline format so when you need to check a very specific application of a thing … it’ll be very...

    Is the AISC Seismic Design Manual essential to have for the SE lateral exam?

    If you’re gonna skip a code, a very compelling argument for the TMS can be made as well as the AISI. That said, the remaining ones are non negotiable and there will be (well almost certainly will be) straight look up questions out of the SDM. Also, and not to beat a dead horse, given your...

    Is the AISC Seismic Design Manual essential to have for the SE lateral exam?

    Let’s go down the line here a bit... Some of the things you’ll need the SDM for (but not limited to): 1. Anything RBS, and more broadly related to IMF, SMF prequalified connections (unless you roll with a loose copy of AISC 358 randomly) 2. I don’t know, ummm, the specification itself has...

    Why I think that the cut score is actually much lower than 28/40

    Why are you people still thinking about the test lol, it’s only been two weeks.... I’m still not completely sobered up. Hahaha. Jk. Don’t over analyze it .... you can’t control the grading, or rhyme or reason for the arbitrary cut offs, so in my opinion .... whatevs. Try to only worry...

    Anyone know if interims are included in the aaahto requirement?

    Well that was fun... now what?

    Well let’s not over state it ... there’s some value added from their exams depending how clever a person is with them however they’re not worth the paper they’re printed on.

    Well that was fun... now what?

    So in fairness to their practice exams they’re good for building people they want to see some solid bridge examples on say column design or basic seismic and wind checks ... I’d typically use the bridge PM questions selectively as morning building study questions lol,

    Well that was fun... now what?

    My recycle bin is filled but I’ll keep this in mind if I’m ever at a loss on how to completely waste about 80 bucks, or whatever they’re charging for that. IN FACT I’d like to see if I could exchange my current practice tests as a possible down payment on a fancy pink new mechanical pencil...
