I meant to post SEOI (Structural Engineers Association of Illinois) see link above.  They put on a 6 month course with a pretty high success rate.

I took the kaplan course.  I passed both exams first try.  The courses may help eliminate some uncertainty.  I remember a Dr. Tim something from South Carolina that was pretty good.  I saw a bouyancy problem from that course that I never would've suspected on the exam.  Guess what - the course had examples that were more closely related to the actual test than any book.

I did not take any courses, passed vertical first try, failed lateral first try.  I am now taking school of PE for lateral in April for my second go, so far has been pretty good.

I spent about $600 for each exam on reference materials, but didn't take any study courses.  I passed vertical in April 2016 and lateral in October.  If you dedicate the time to work through reference materials, the exams can be passed without a study course.  I thought this approach was more beneficial as you learn the material for practice, not just study for/practice what you think will be an "exam type" problem.

Second for this. Took Lateral bridge with EET and passed first attempt. I'm definitely signing up with them again in the fall to do the Vertical.
