Pass rates and results released. Those buildings depth scores are wild.

Congrats on the lateral breadth results. Have you seen the depth results yet? There is a rumor that there is a lawsuit over the depth administration in NJ (which would explain the lack of results), but I can't find any proof of this.

Did I meet you in Puyallup, WA in October 2023? I met a fellow bridge guy who was around your age and was on his 6th attempt (some of those were for the vertical and I think he was just taking the lateral this time). He was the only other bridge person I met there. Glad you got the SE now! Huge...

I didn't see a thread for it, so I thought I'd make one. (I'm done with mine, but am curious to see how the April CBT version went.) How did it go?

Passed on the first attempt! Sure, this was nearly 5 years ago but I just wanted to post about my success. My firm never gave me an intranet post about it and they didn't give me one for passing the SE on the first attempt in October 2023 either (probably because I handed in my notice the day...

I play guitar and badminton. Nice to have time to do those things after the SE exam!

Assuming they have re-geared it for the CBT format. :)

I told my coworkers that I felt dumber just for signing up for the exam lol

Thanks for letting us know. I took both SE bridge exams in October 2023 (first attempts; passed both) and was curious as to how hard it was relative to the other exams. The pass rates for bridge exams don't surprise me. I had to guess an uncomfortably large number of the AM questions in the...

Here's the same graph but from the 2022 edition: Not too different from TS' graph from an earlier edition. I am surprised that the average age for the FE is 26 and that the average age for the PE 32 or 33. Not too surprised about the SE though. The nearby big state school my previous firm...

Bridge engineer with 5.5+ YOE. Experience is in new bridge design, plenty of rail replacements, and some seismic retrofits sprinkled in. Took both SE Bridge exam components for the first time in October and passed both. Very pleased and surprised with that since I came out of both morning...

As far as I know, your best bet is do a single mode or uniform static load analysis and compare it your model the next time you do a bridge seismic analysis. The 2019 WSDOT BDM (Appendix 4-B2) has a SAP2000 full model example that you can look at for model results.

I'll echo @BuzzKillington's question. I just passed the SE Bridges exam and I am about to go work for a company that does work in Florida. I googled it and can only find something about a Structural Engineering Recognition Program in Florida, but I haven't read anything that suggests it is...

Congratulations!

Passed both vertical and lateral bridge exams on the first attempt! No study course, but lots of money spent on books...!

First attempt at both components of the SE bridges exam and passed both!

Alright, how did it go? I took both bridge exams. I did NOT feel good about either morning exam, but was very pleased with the AM parts.
