April 2019 SE Results Thread

[cal91]

Just hoping the codes won't change, because ASCE 7-16 will be absolute loads of fun to design to.

I see what you did there...

 

[SE_Hopeful]

I wonder if there will be tsunami questions on the exam once ASCE 7-16 gets adopted

I'm bracing myself for the worst if there is a code change....although it'll be a joy to shear all those new moments with you guys learning the new load standard.  All we have to do is just simply support each other and everything will be just fine.

Engineering humor. It's great. You had me fixed to the screen with the analysis of your prose.

I also wanted to correct a previous statement I made on the board. I said previously that Tyr was an archaic name for Thor. That is wrong, as Tyr was a separate deity and is the namesake of Tuesday somehow. Thor was apparently always some derivation of the word Thor, except they had some odd accent and another r in there. Anyway, just wanted to set the record straight from my ignorance. My takeaway from this is apparently archaic people didn't know how to spell or speak properly.

It's rather apropos that you made this clarification on Tuesday.

NCEES will tell you no, but only so that they can throw a Tsunami/Earthquake/Infinity Gauntlet snap "general analysis" essay problem at you and put you in a panic.

i hate them 3000

Wow. If I recall even  FutureSE only hates them in the low 6 to 9 hundreds...

That is correct, but that is given as a percent in decimal form. If you multiply that by the proper value of 100, you can begin to comprehend the amount of putrid darkness that dwells in my heart for that organization and the east coast states enforcing the new exam for licensure. I feel like we should all have visors to measure power/hatred levels for NCEES like the old school Dragonball. I'm pretty sure that merely looking at me would cause your device to short circuit. I'm currently somewhere around super saiyan 500 at this point. Even my nose hairs go super saiyan at the mention of NCEES.

Somehow, someway, I would almost guarantee that NCEES and HYDRA are in cahoots with the Decepticons, Skrulls, Dark Elves, and the remaining nefarious actors who intend to collect the anti-engineering-affinity stones and wipe out approximately three quarters of the structural engineering population with a finger flick. Maybe they even went back in time to interfere with our past timelines to prevent our future selves from passing. <-Now that's cold, NCEES.

I think maybe NCEES stands for Nobody Can Ever Ever Succeed . Either that or Noobs Can't Even Evaluate Seismic. 100% sure it's one of those.

I have a feeling that the results will come out in 10-12 days.

Exam was unusually early this past administration.

Maybe for PEs, but for SE, the grading workshop is June 7 weekend, so we will not have results until after that, we're thinking June 14.

where does it mention June 7?

maybe they are postponing it for this year. I dunno. June 14 is on the brink of their 10 week limit. I noticed that for the past administration, they released around the 1.5 month mark, approximately one week and some odd days after the PE's. we will see. 

Just a thought.

You are correct sir, or madam. October results are always released around December 14th, plus or minus 5 days. April results are generally released after 8-10 weeks. PE results for the april exam might be around memorial day. So when the PE results are out, then you can "start the clock", as it were. Of course, theoretically, NCEES could release PE results this week for some reason, and SE results soon after...but I'd reckon it's improbable. They understand the key to any successful enhanced interrogation technique isn't necessarily the acuteness of the pain, but the unending nature of it.

I feel pretty confident that an alternate timeline version of me passed both days on the first try. 

 

[tj_PE]

It wasn't a guess. I asked NCEES chat when the SE grading workshop was and they told me June 7 & June 8.  We've got another 5.5 weeks

[tj_PE]

I'm vowing not to quote @cal91 anymore if someone else asks LOL. sorry cal!

 

[cal91]

Haha no worries! And I will gladly eat my words if that means that for some reason the grading workshop is at an earlier date. Who knows, "Ashlei" at NCEES could be wrong and just appeasing me so that I won't ask anymore!

 

[mdw]

Does anyone know historically when NCEES changes code reference (specifically ASCE)? Would they change to ASCE 7-16 before most jurisdictions implement it (April 2020) or after?

 

[cal91]

My best Guess is April 2021 is when they will start to use the IBC 2018 and it's corresponding code versions, but I have no data to base that off of. Does anyone know when the test changed to IBC 2015? And to IBC 2012?

I think they make the switch to IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10 in 2015.  I know they were still on IBC 2009/ASCE 7-05 for the April 2014 exam.
