SE Exam Books Required?
(OP)
So I’ve been studying for the SE exam and am spending what little money I have on the millions of codes referenced in the exam. For anyone who has taken the exam, are the following codes required, or is there a way around them
AISC Seismic Design Manual: I have AISC 341-10 and don’t know if I can afford to drop another $175 on the manual.
AISI – Cold Formed Steel Design Manual: I just flat out don’t own this one. Costs $125 new.
These are both books that I want to have eventually, but it is getting pretty costly as I’ve already dropped over $1,000 in the last year for PE and SE study materials.

For Seismic design manual - MUST HAVE in my opinion. There are great examples in this manual that will help you during lateral afternoon and morning.
I thought they still use the 05 version of this, no?

The seismic design manual required is either the 2006 or 2008 printing. I may have to buy that one.
So much money.
