(OP)
I am a Civil PE and I would like to get my SE. It is my understanding that the SE exam is now 2 days divided into vertical and lateral systems. I also understand that the morning session of each day has some bridge design questions. For those of you who are not bridge designers, what study aids did you use for the bridge design/AASHTO?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Since then I've discovered this reference: Bridge Problems for the Structural Engineering (SE) Exam fantastic book, setup for those taking buildings but have not done bridge engineering. But it is useful as well for those taking bridges and looking for more practice.

As a buildings guy, mainly just focused on shoring up and filling in the buildings understanding since that's 75%+ of the morning sessions, and what I do for a living anyways. Haven't touched bridge stuff since the day of the exam.

David Connor's book is pretty good. I recommend buying directly from his site. Cheaper and he probably gets more of the money that way.

I studied for 1.5-2 weeks for the bridge portion at the very end (right before my final re-review of all the material). I though it would be most fresh in my mind that way. I'm sure I got a lot of them wrong but it didn't matter, passed on the first try.
