Before taking the SE exam, I thought that the Vertical Forces component of the SE exam was going to be the easier portion of the two. I wasn’t planning to devote a lot of time to study for it but that all changed after I spoke with a few of my friends who recently took the SE exam. They all told me that to their surprise they thought the vertical portion of the test was harder and that I need to take the vertical portion more seriously. After I took the SE exam, I was very glad that I heeded their warnings and prepared for it the right way. In this post I will explain how I prepared for the vertical portion of the SE exam and hopefully save you a lot of studying time!

4 Steps to Prepare for the SE Exam Bridge Section as a Building Engineer
As a building engineer, it has never made sense to me why the SE exam requires so much bridge knowledge (wouldn’t it make more sense to have a Building SE license and a Bridge SE license?). Thankfully, building engineers will only need to know the bridge questions for the breadth section of the exam. From personal experience and what I hear from others, there are definitely enough bridge questions on the test that you will need to get at least some of them right to have a chance of passing the exam. Some of these bridge questions will require an in depth understanding of the subject, but there are also plenty of bridge questions you can get right by knowing and understanding some relatively simple bridge concepts. The goal of this post is to position you to at least get a good shot at getting the simple bridge questions right.
