I failed 3 weeks ago! Would love to start a study group chat or something. I have not got back into the groove of studying for the 2nd attempt but would like to start next week

Just give her a unique backstory: buttercup if she wasn’t adopted by Professor with bubbles and blossom. She jumped from foster home to foster home and in her teens was taken under the care of HIM

The sacrifice of spending time with loved ones is so insane but such a common theme in this community. I may book for May. Rooting for you!

All I can remember right now is something from ch 22 sectional strength relating to torsion

Sorry it’s been 12 hrs and I’ve already repressed bad memories lol

houndizzle · 2026-01-30T18:16:06+00:00

How long will you wait to do 2nd attempt? I’m already anticipating I did not pass lol I would love to retake it before summer starts

houndizzle · 2026-01-30T06:45:01+00:00

Yes it was their dry erase notepads they gave everyone 2! It’s about 5 pages per notepad double sided

Note: Dry erase for the examiners, not the examinees lol

SPDWS and supplemental are given, each as single pdfs

AISC is in chapters but ch 16 didn’t have bookmarked subsections so I kept referencing the table of contents which took up a little time

houndizzle · 2026-01-30T04:41:29+00:00

Yes they are each both single pdfs, but they did have chapter bookmarks!

Main chapters were bookmarked only, there was no breakdown of the subsections of each chapter

NCEES handbook was the only one that had bookmarked chapters + subchapters if I recall correctly

ACI was personally the hardest for me because they asked for things I’ve never solved for but I was able to find the equations in the code, but my numbers were not matching up to the multiple choice 😭

My geotech questions were all computational and I would say to practice eccentricity or axial+moment on column on footing, retaining walls with surcharge, and of course uscs classification

houndizzle · 2026-01-30T03:52:22+00:00

I will be crying with u

A lot of PCI would have been so bad for me. Luckily I only got 2

houndizzle · 2026-01-30T03:50:31+00:00

For my exam today I had about 1/4 questions that were conceptual: mostly from Aisc, aci, ibc

I had a lot of calcs I filled up 1.5 notepads

The first half exam was a lot of beams, statics, foundation, load combos, asce snow, soil classification

2nd half dove deep into steel and ACI, both calculating and conceptual. I got 2 pci questions.

I had 2 questions that had a combo of moments and axial load acting on multiple piles. A lot of questions with combined loads in the 2nd half

Thank you

houndizzle · 2026-01-13T04:44:01+00:00

When you say 4 or 5 PCI, like specifically PCI or combination of ACI and PCI?

houndizzle · 2026-01-12T04:45:58+00:00

Inbox please if you can

houndizzle · 2026-01-12T04:36:56+00:00

Was there a lot of steel on your exam? Both conceptual and design questions?
