Riassunto

16-Hour Structural Engineering (SE) Practice Exam for Buildings is a complete, 16-hour practice exam that prepares you for the Structural SE exam. It mimics the SE exam in terms of topics covered, problem level of difficulty, codes and standards referenced, and overall exam format. Like the SE exam, both the vertical and lateral components are organized into a morning breadth and an afternoon depth module. Each breadth module contains 40 multiple-choice problems, and each depth module contains 4 essay response problems, for a total of 88 exam-like problems. Completing the problems within each module’s allotted four hours will prepare you for the SE exam’s pace and duration.

Comprehensive step-by-step solutions for all problems illustrate accurate and efficient solving methods. The multiple-choice breadth modules also include complete answer keys so you can quickly determine a problem’s correct answer. The essay response afternoon depth modules make use of blue text to call out the text, calculations, and drawings you are expected to include in your exam booklet. Black explanations, calculations, and drawings provide supportive information to further describe a solution’s methodology.
