Structural II PM (Seismic) Exam (for Illinois SE registration)

Structural II PM (Seismic) Exam (for Illinois SE registration)

Structural II PM (Seismic) Exam (for Illinois SE registration)

(OP)
Does anyone have or know of good preparation material for this exam? Does anyone know what the reviewers are really looking for?

I have the NCEES preparation manual, but there are only a couple of questions related to this section.

RE: Structural II PM (Seismic) Exam (for Illinois SE registration)

Be prepared!!! If you are taking the oral exam you need to memorize all of the concrete and steel design formulas. Also, memorize the design procedures you go through to design various structures. Good luck!

RE: Structural II PM (Seismic) Exam (for Illinois SE registration)

The NCEES preparation manual is a good start.  Do not just focus on steel and concrete, know all of your materials.  The test is a written exam so be ready to give as much information as possible.   Know your seismic design very well, it is the second part of the test.

RE: Structural II PM (Seismic) Exam (for Illinois SE registration)

i NEVER HEARD OF AN ORAL EXAM. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?

RE: Structural II PM (Seismic) Exam (for Illinois SE registration)

I took the SE-1 and SE-2 in the early 90's - no oral exam then....something new?  Never heard of it.

RE: Structural II PM (Seismic) Exam (for Illinois SE registration)

I know of someone who took the oral exam but it was about 20 years ago.

RE: Structural II PM (Seismic) Exam (for Illinois SE registration)

They used to (I'm not sure whether or not they do it now) give an oral exam to licensees that wanted an SE through reciprocity from a state who didn't use a SE exam (just a PE).
From the one guy I knew who tried it, it was miserable.
