Pass and done!!!!

Structural Layout Vignette and Multiple Choice

Pass and done!!!!

Postby cabara01 » Thu Jan 18, 2018 3:43 am

I just found out I passed SS and am now done with ARE! Thank you Coach, everybody’s comments on this board, my family for putting up with me, and God for guiding me the entire time!

Couldn’t have done it without Thaddeus online videos. It was worth the cost. Tried to pass without it the first time and failed miserably. Tip on watching his videos: (1) Watch and take notes (2) then watch without taking notes (3) Re-watch if you don’t understand something or cannot remember (4) highlight the “must memorize” items.

Dillip Khatri videos (used this the first time, for me the difference between Khatri and Thaddeus is the big picture items that Thaddeus teaches. With Khatri I could find shear and moment, but with Thaddeus I was able to get a better understanding of structures for those questions that weren’t necessarily calculations
Also read BAR
FEMA
Used Ballast, designer hacks (free one) and NCARB for multiple choice
Helped that I studied for BDCS simultaneously

Good luck to everyone. Keep pushing forward. Only give yourself 1-2 months to study per test. Don’t drag it out. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Right? I almost don’t know what to do with myself! Free, unscheduled time. What a concept! ;)

Hopefully this link works. This post is pretty comprehensive on study material. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1171
