October 2014 SE Test - Results

[DaveEng]

So I'm anticipating the results to be in this week...

 

[TehMightyEngineer]

Me as well, my best guess is tomorrow at the earliest.

I was thinking that SE results would be out this week too. But with the PE results not out yet, this make me think the SE results are going to be a few more weeks. I hope I am wrong.

 

[TehMightyEngineer]

Results released for Maine!!!!

I PASSED!

I have now completed the 16-hour SE exam and am a PE.

Mine is out,

• SE Lateral Forces BridgesResult: Acceptable Next steps
  
• PM DiagnosticDiagnosticResult Notice
  SE Vertical Forces Bridges Result: Unacceptable

 

[TehMightyEngineer]

Interesting, passed lateral but failed vertical. Well, if this was your first try you're doing better than I was.

Congrats TME!

Sorry about the news xjggre.

Yes, I am lucky to pass one. For vertical I also passed PM. I only spent two months on both exams, I am satisfied with the results.

Congrats Mighty!

xjggre - Do you mind sharing your Vertical results?

 

[TehMightyEngineer]

Thanks everyone. Xjggre, not bad for only 2 months prep, especially the afternoon for the vertical. Sounds like all you need is just a little more focused studying and you'll be all set. Good luck in April.

Failed Vertical Bridge: AM: 22/40, PM: All Acceptable.

Damn, now I'm jealous...nothing yet for CT (although my heart sank when I read this today and I'm not sure I really want to know haha). Congrats TME! And congrats on getting past one of 'em xjggre!

I never did seismic design before, so I spent a little more time on lateral than vertical.

But in fact, I still cannot handle vertical AM exam as a bridge engineer due to lots of building questions.

 

[DaveEng]

I can't look online. I just can't do it. Think I'm gonna wait until it comes in the mail. I think.

Ah, yeah, that can really hurt. I do some short span bridge design so it wasn't that bad for me. There's a lot more building questions than bridge questions. Still, looks like you can focus on building study for the AM of vertical and I bet you'll pass no problem. Especially with 3 acceptable on the PM. Very nice.

Do it!! You know you want to.

 

[mikesltj23]

Someone take my finger off of F5 please.

 

[DaveEng]

Oh and congratulations TME! I hope you stick around this forum and continue to give advice to those trying to pass this test - you were helpful to me.

 

[TehMightyEngineer]

I plan to. I also plan to keep working with SEHQ to develop posts on his SE exam blog. I think we need more resources like this for future SE exam takers.

2nd attempt at lateral bridges, did not pass.

AM: 23/40

PM: all acceptable

Time to buy some codes for next time!

 

[DaveEng]

Wow that really sucks to get all acceptable and fail for the multiple choice. I don't think its fair for bridge people. If you can get acceptable on all PM sections, clearly you know your stuff.
