Correct, I did not take Seismic and Surveying. I may at a later date, but wanted to focus on the NCEES exam. I don't really ever foresee living or working in CA.
The timing with engineering board meetings and my "responsible charge" time was slowing me down. AK wouldn't allow me to sit for the PE exam until April 2016 at the earliest. So I applied in CA and they allowed me to sit in Oct. Had I thought about it, I probably could have taken the exam in CA years ago.
If I pass, I could be licensed in AK 8+ months earlier than if I waited to sit for the PE here, just due to the board meeting schedule.
