For anyone else in a post-results stupor, here, have a guinea pig:

I get that SD has the lookup. But it sure would be nice to see the green pass on my NCEES as confirmation.

Is anyone here help me regarding with the study material of PE CIVIL STRUCTURE?

Take the EET Structural depth classes if you can. That's probably the only reason I was able to pass the exam.

@harshaPEAZ, what did your diagnostic indicate as your weak areas? Sorry if I missed it if you already shared.

I had 23 in AM and 24 in PM. So I guess may be push more for AM?

EET or AEI are they same

So this might be me being technically challenge.... I am trying to share my pets pics but the size is too big.....how are you guys doing it.

Wow! 47 is still not bad at all! My very first fail was 30/80 so...you're ok! I took the breadth course, but I had seen the EET WRE PM material and it was also excellent. Just my $0.02, in the long run, $1100 is nothing compared to the $$$ you'll make later! :rotflmao:

Will your employer help with any of these classes?

I actually don't know how others do it here. I host my pics on Flickr and just link the picture. That way they can never die muahahaha.

Nope nothing from employer.... I understand the investment haha its just like I had splurged for FE classes too multiple times since I was stuck in a loop taking it for 5 times and then with PE I wish I knew about EET before... but I get it .... I am going to go all in and get the breadth first and then move to depth. Not sure if I would be able to cover it all with the previous stack of material I still have. 

Another question ...I took all these practice problem books with me to the exam. On exam day though I knew this question is similar to one question from this or that book but there was no way I could have found that one question in the entire 500 questions of the book. Are these problem solving books worth taking in the exam??

Hmm...everyone is different so it's your decision. Personally, I brought ALL the books but honestly... it was only to make myself feel better, I didn't reference them at all. What I DID reference, however, were the hundreds of worked-out problems (one problem per sheet, organized by subject area and an accompanying handwritten table of contents). I think it's horribly inefficient to try and find an EXACT problem in problem solving books, buuut with the collection of my own worked-out problems, all the theory is covered and I lifted various equations and concepts from those. YMMV.

Well looks like everybody got results or are just done waiting now ...super quiet here

I am still waiting to find out if I passed or not (thanks WA), but... an index or TOC is super helpful (the EET instructor provided one for the course materials and I added a bit to it). I didn't reference very many of the problem solving books I brought. Too time consuming - i tried at first, but it wasn't worth the effort IMO... fingers crossed....another sleepless night here in WA.

Wishing you all the luck .... Hope you see that green tag
