SE Takers October 2022, Welcome to the suck!

[SJRA]

Pennsylvania is out. After not passing 3 times I finally passed the gravity portion. Getting ready for the lateral in April. If anyone is looking for a prep course go to Advanced Engineering Institute (AEI). The course really helped me a bunch from when I previously just used the PPI material.

Congrats, and I second your AEI recommendation. It is very good.

CA is out. Passed the gravity finally! (lateral passed previously) Give me that sweet sweet SE stamp NCEES!

ditto on the AEI class, the class binder material is worth its weight in gold.

I just spoke with PCS for the MA board and they said it takes 7-10 days to release the results.... wtf? Does anyone have experience with this? It seems weird that MA takes an extra week.

 

[run125]

yes it's true

 

[petermtlndkelly]

I'm Acceptable!!!!

 

[NewSE2022]

CA is out. Acceptable.

Unless you have strong background, doing building/bridge design in high seismic area on daily basis, or having sufficient review time, I'd suggest taking vert and lateral separately.

1st try - took both vert & lateral, failed on both with terrible scores, 3 or 4 Us for PM
2nd try - only vert, passed
3rd try - only lateral, passed

Good luck everyone!

Colorado out(Yay DORA)! Vertical buildings, 2nd try, acceptable. Guess I gotta sign up for Spring Lateral!

No luck for me on Bridge Lateral. 22/40, A/A/A. Next time...

 

[Just_Bridges]

Taking them one at a time. Passed Vertical first try in April. Took Lateral (Bridges) in October and not surprised by the result.

22/40; A/A/A

That AM is killer for us bridge folk.

Congrats on the A/A/A!!!

What is this Discord of which you speak?

Got my results for Tennessee this morning. I passed both vertical and lateral buildings first try!

 

[DaBird1]

Congrats to everyone that passed! I finally got that last acceptable that I have been looking for.

For those that have not spent the money or haven't tried it yet. Go with the AEI course work. The binder is absolutely worth its weight in gold. The professors are top notch. Run problem after problem until you can't get them wrong and its like second hand!

 

[Manimani]

anyone thinking about Manual Regrading of the AM?

 

[tmanchester606]

Soooooo anyone else still waiting on results? I’ve never seen it go this late into December.

 

[mathgeek218]

I applied to the MA board and just got my results this morning.

Passed Vertical, Unacceptable on Lateral.

One down, one to go.

 

[ACrisp]

I passed both parts on my first try! I will echo several others in recommending the aei course. It was very useful for my preparation, and some of the problems were very similar to ones I saw in both the morning and afternoon portions of each exam.

 

[jcv0005]

Georgia always slacking… still awaiting results! Absolute torture… don’t think it’s going to happen today

 

[Hokie95]

Took gravity alone and failed. Any advice on whether to attempt gravity alone again or gravity and lateral together next time?
