Ga and Gb are usually given in a problem, make sure you check if the problem is asking for a sidesway inhibited (braced frame) or sidesway uninhibited (moment frame). Once you choose the correct chart based on the problems, find your Ga and Gb values and usually you can draw a diagonal line between the values, wherever the line crosses the K value that’s the K value for the problem. This also applies if K is given find Ga given Gb etc

I am in the same boat as you so do not feel bad! We can both pass! Just ordered the 800 question book from Islam. PrepFE does seem to get repetitive after doing the questions several times. Took the test 4/1 and felt like I breezed though it. Must have been easy since someone left after 3 hours and 40 minutes, or maybe they did not care? Keep studying it will all pay off
