September 2024 Survey/Seismic Exam Results

[KSPE]

Congrats to those who passed! Unfortunately I did not, for those who passed seismic what tools did you use to study?

I failed seismic, using SDR from Hiner. It was really good and thought I did well. Honestly shocked I failed.

I am shocked I failed too this is my 2nd time with Hiner. Kind of at a loss right now

I failed seismic, but didn’t have time to solve over 10 questions. Based on the diagnostic report, i estimate my score to be 56-64%.

I guess, the cutoff score is around 70%, not 60%.

Curious for those who have took the seismic test. I’m scheduled to take it in Q1 2025. I’m a transportation engineer so I deff got all my seismic study material ready. What I’m curious about is what reference material did you guys take in the exam? Just your workbooks and cheat sheets or did you guys also take any reference manuals? If so, did you end up using those reference manuals? Any help is appreciated!

I took the Hiner workbook, Hiner “cheat” sheets/quick reference , IBC, and ASCE. Hiner’s material had everything I needed for the exam. I didn’t actually use the IBC/ASCE books because Hiner’s quick reference had all the information I needed.
