Hi All,
I have read very good reviews for EET's class but I would like to know your thoughts on relying on the EET's seismic book only to pass (ie Fundamentals of Seismic Analysis and Design of Buildings). I have done some structural engineering on my first job out of college but that was a while ago and later I changed to transportation. The book is big at over 500 pages (which made me a bit nervous when I received it) and I'd love to know any suggestions to prepare, for example, what chapters are most important, how much time you've put in, or anything really.. I've also bought EET's practice exam book. (I'd say I'm generally good at self-studying, passed the NCEES PE exam preparing by myself)
