The Most Realistic Seismic Exam Practice You Can Get The best way to assess your readiness for the California Special Civil Engineer Seismic Examinationis to take a practice exam as similar to the actual exam as possible. Seismic Principles Practice Exams provides the most realistic practice you can get. These two complete practice exams, each with 47 multiple-choice problems, are designed to mimic the range of topics and degree of difficulty of the actual exam. With each exam, you can practice your problem-solving skills, find out how long you take to solve different types of problems, and determine which subject areas require more review or practice. Fully explained, step-by-step solutions are provided for each problem, allowing you to check your answers and understand the most efficient solving methods. To develop your familiarity with the seismic codes used in the exam, Seismic Principles Practice Exams references the 2006 International Building Code (which contains the same material and section codes as Volume II of the 2007 California Building Code) and the 2005 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. Seismic Principles Practice Exams will help you pass the actual exam by • Mentally preparing you for the pressure of working under timed conditions • Assessing your problem-solving skills • Reviewing seismic building codes • Identifying topics that require extra review
