16 Hour SE Exam Study Material
(OP)
Hi all. I'm planning on taking the 16 hour NCEES SE Exam this coming October and am compiling all of the books I need. Currently NCEES says that their April Exam will utilize codes such as the '09 IBC, '08 ACI-318, '05 NDS, and 13th Edition of the AISC Manual. However, after speaking with someone at NCEES, they said that this list is ONLY valid for the April exam, and that the updated list for the October exam will come up 6 months ahead of time. Does anybody know if this set of reference material will be valid for October as well? I would hope so, but I don't know when they're going to update to the most current set of codes. On one hand I'd like to wait and see, but I'd also like to supplement my library with necessary material ASAP so I have maximum study time. Why does NCEES have to be so cagey?
Is anybody else running into this problem, and if so how are you handling it? My fingers are crossed that they don't switch over to the next code cycle for the October exam because then I would need to drop a ton of money on new books. Let me know what your thoughts are out there in engineer-land. Thanks.

Because they can be. That's what comes along with having gatekeepers to occupational practice. Those on this side of the gate have no power to change it. Those on the other side of the gate have no interest in changing it. Milton Friedman makes a convincing case that this phenomenon exists in his writings on the topic. Sorry if that's not the answer you want but I believe it's the correct one.
