Thank GOD! I wonder if there is anything different in the exam specifications.... I was curious about this. Even NDS is 2012 which I thought for sure it would change to 2015 and maybe even ACI would move to 2014.

Exam specifications didn't change.

i'm so mad i didn't push through for the SE like 6 years ago. I literally gave up when i found out how much the expenses would be ($1000 in exams and another $1500 in code books).

Now i have to start all over again. My 5th edition AASHTO is completely worthless now, along with the few other old codes i did previously collect.
