I thought that this was a good up to date reference with good problems added in the text to help with review. I would definitely get this book if you are studying for the SE I. You will of course still need all of your code books and other books. Also be sure to get the NCEES sample test so you can really see what style the problems will be. It is a good review of most of the information that will be on the test.

Having just taken the SE 1 exam, I found this book to be helpful in both the preparation time before the exam and also during the exam. I especially liked how the variables were printed in each corresponding section (Wood, Steel, Masonry, etc.) versus having one large master variable list. The Index is amazingly throughouh. Also, most minor mistakes were posted on PPI's errata webpage. I would reccomend this book to any person preparing for the SE 1 exam and suggest they give themselves ample time to go through each of the problems in the book.

I purchased this product to review for the P.E. exam. I am very satisfied witht he layout and choice of problems. It can be easily referenced. Also, the problems are easy to follow. There aren't huge leaps in the analysis that usually tend to slow you down. Additionally it will make for a good reference in my personal library during my career.

Note that this book cannot be used when taking the Structural Engineering exam in Illinois.
