SE Reference Manual
SE Reference Manual
(OP)
I am going to be taking the SE and want to purchase the SE reference manual. There are already 7 editions published and the newest is $250-$300. Was hoping to buy the 6th edition for half the price, but there is no information regarding what codes are included in which edition. I am taking SE in October of 2014. Anyone who knows if the 6th edition has the same corresponding codes as the 2014 Oct exam?

One item to note is the NCEES sample exam is actually based off of older codes than the test. I've found a few minor errors this causes but if you're aware of it then it's still a very good reference for the exam.

However, I do find it interesting that they just released the 7th edition of the SE reference manual and it was only updated to the october exam standards.
I really wish NCEES would let people know. That would suck to buy all these out of date codes only to be told you have to buy another set 6 months from now.
