Buying SE Exam Material

[cal91]

Has anyone recently taken the SE exam who is willing to sell their material?

I'm specifically looking for:

Structural Engineering Reference Manual 9th edition
Structural Exam Solved Problems, 7th edition
Structural Exam Practice Exam, 5th edition

If not, is there another website I might have better success? I've tried engineerboards.com but there didn't seem to be a whole lot of traffic for the SE.

Thanks!

One book at a time, go to Amazon to get the ISBN number for the edition needed: Link
Amazon usually has accurate ISBN numbers displayed.

Use the ISBN number in a book search engine such as "Bookfinder" to find the current pricing for new and used books. Read the descriptions the search engine provides very carefully. A seller may have listed a "new" ISBN number on an "old" edition: Link

If you don't like the pricing, check Ebay. There may be the book you need with a "Make An Offer" price. Having used the search engine, you now know what price to offer for a good deal.

I have the previous editions of all three. I wont sell them but as I'm not needing them for an exam any time soon I could long-term loan them if you pay shipping both ways and a small fee to cover my time and wear and tear?

The AASHTO stuff changed slightly but I believe I have the PDF from PPI that updates that reference section. The concrete and some building items changed of course so you'd have to mentally update the example problems but I had to do the same for my exam and it wasn't a deal breaker. I'll even throw in some of my notes and a few other goodies if able.

True, 2nd week of December is when I'd expect results.

Good luck, dreber!

Yeah, maybe I'll wait until results are out. Getting a little anxious about delaying studying!

Thanks for the offer anyways, TME, very nice of you.
