i would recommend it only if your work requires you to get a California PE. otherwise a PE in your home state is plenty. everyone's journey and experience is different. both seismic and surveying can be tough, but i found them easier to study for since they are shorter exams (2.5 hours each)...

If you applied in mid February, and your application has no deficiencies, I would assume you'd get approved in July or August (which puts you in Q3). If that happens, you're allowed to test in the following two quarters (Q4 or Q1 the following year). If you get approved earlier by June (end of...

Which review courses have you taken? I was able to pass on my second attempt using CPESR and Reza, but ultimately what helped me was making very thorough cheat sheets from those two resources in a way that I understood the basics and could apply to virtually any problem. If you feel like you're...

good luck! surveying was definitely trickier for me too compared to seismic, and was able to pass on my second attempt after figuring out how to manage my time better and utilizing more practice exams. I also used CPESR but found Reza's workbook to be really helpful if you're able to get a copy...

I took AEI and I had the same overwhelming feeling because I felt like I wasn't doing enough practice problems with the amount of lectures I had to watch, but as long as you make yourself a study schedule and stick to it, do the homework/workshop problems in the order that Dr. Ibhrahim suggests...

not anymore, i was expecting the same thing but it looks like they must've changed it recently so when you pass, it is a congratulatory email with no attachment. that should be sufficient enough for your employer, i just saved the email as a PDF that says I passed.

i did not calculate my score or bother because that's virtually impossible when all you're given is Proficient, Marginal, or Deficient under each category. I failed surveying my first attempt but passed on my second attempt and i knew what i needed to improve on (time management, nailing trig...

definitely don't underestimate seismic and survey, they are very fast exams compared to FE and PE since you barely have 3 min/question. im not the best test taker but was able to pass seismic on 1st try and surveying on 2nd try, i know those who were good test takers that took them longer. its...

did you get approved in Q3? if that's the case it's because you're only allowed to test within the following two quarters (so Q4 or Q1). i think if you wanted to push it out you'll have to pay the fee again or talk to someone on the board since it has to be processed through Connect first before...

thanks!!

anyone know where we can order a CA PE stamp with the bear seal?? this site doesn't seem to have it, but would've thought it was the same across the board: California Professional Engineer Stamp | PE Stamps

board will issue license # within 2-3 weeks i believe, and then wall certificate within 4-6 weeks. i plan on starting my NCEES record also so that would be something if you haven't done that already (mainly to apply for reciprocity if that's something you foresee happening in the future)

can anyone give insight on after passing all 3 exams and waiting on license # for starting NCEES Record for CA (PE Civil)? I'm assuming i'll need to wait for my official license # before I can do anything, but is there any steps to transfer my application from CA BPELSG easily into NCEES Record...

whooo congrats to those who passed!! i found out i passed surveying too (2nd attempt) and im finally done with exams!!! to those continuing on this journey - don't give up!!! it took me 5 attempts to pass the 8-hr, 1 attempt for seismic, and 2 attempts for surveying. keep persevering and you...

i take back what i said :( im guessing its monday now

i have a feeling we'll find out tomorrow if they didn't release results today, i have found out results in the past on the 10th

also waiting for results, took mine on 1/30 for second attempt

my biggest piece of advice is to invest in what you can now so you only have to take surveying once and be done. a couple hundred extra is worth over failing and waiting another quarter and spending more time studying. 2015 and 2016 references aren't significantly old, but keep in mind that...

I remember when I was debating the two also because most people that I knew who took seismic swore by Hiner. After reading several reviews and also talking to a few friends who took AEI, I went with AEI's course. One reason being that I liked that AEI videos were unlimited (meaning you could...

Assuming you are trying to get licensed in CA: 1) yes you have to take the depth and breadth portion of the 8-hr exam on the same day and time, it's technically 1 exam just broken into 2 parts so you're not answering questions for 8 hours straight. it's a pass/fail so it doesn't matter if you do...
