Crystal, as far as Gravity is concerned, the answer is “yes” to both of your questions. However, depending on your experiences and weaknesses, you may need additional resources.

Lateral is kind of a different animal. I studied the SEAOC Seismic Design Manuals but looks like I forgot to mention them in this post 🙁

SEAOC just published a new edition based on the latest code so it’s a little confusing given that the exam is based on previous code. I’ll update the post in the near future.

If you used the Solved Practice Problems book that goes with the Reference Manual, did you find those questions helpful and representative of the problems on the exam?
