I wish we could use scratch paper, pencils, and/or pens...it's what we've used for our entire schooling career. But no, with the most important exam of our life and we're forced to use dry-erase markers and a booklet.
I've taken the CBT and I loved the experience. I'm used to studying and doing things on the computer. The testing room was calm and quiet. Also the test center was close to my house. Excellent experience and I passed!
Hey! Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you mind if I asked where you took the test? I'm planning to take one soon enough. I hope you did well on yours.
shreetron Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I did pass. I took the test at a Pearson testing center close to my house. I was surprised it was that close (about a mile). It was great because I got to schedule it when I wanted to, also. I took it on a Saturday so I didn't have to worry about it interfering with my job.
***** There's really no tips or tricks. Just study your stuff and do problems over and over again. Also, know the on-screen reference manual from front to back. It has all of the equations you need.
I'm taking my Microsoft MCSA 410 exam tomorrow, I get they have to stop people from cheating, but come on, this is worse than TSA security at the airport!!
Needless to say I tanked the exam, it was freaking rigged!!! Want to hear how? At the beginning, there is a required survey that asks you what areas you are comfortable with and other areas you struggle with. 80% of the questions on the exam were in areas I struggled with. I only knew like 4 answers. I studied for this exam for 2 months, studying 3-5 hours a day 5 days a week doing exam cramming and practice tests. Screw you Microsoft!! Your exams are rigged and are not reliable for measuring your knowledge.i know this video is for NCEES exams and those are obviously different.
FE Exam is not easy but extremely lengthy. However, it is not difficult to pass the test. Everyone I know including myself has passed the FE Exam the first time. Remember taking the SAT during high school? It's like that but probably three times as long. I do recommend taking breaks.
Seriously, we're being treated like untrustworthy lab rats as NCEES sits back and collects their well earned $250 per student and pushes their unreasonably priced workbooks. What a scam
Disembodiedvoice All professional licensure has always been a scam to protect the wealth of the already licensed. That's what this "Raise The Bar" extra 30 credit hours crap you might have heard about is about. Also, it is not very ethical that NCEES, being a private organization, has the only examination process that states will recognize. There needs to be more competition in how professionals are certified, and maybe governments should be out of this completely.
Scam? Professional licensure protects the public by enforcing standards that restrict practice to qualified individuals who have met specific qualifications in education, work experience, and exams. just like doctors, laweyrs, etc.
Iveta Moore The "specific qualifications" are often arbitrary and dubious. Meeting statist "minimum standards" doesn't exempt anyone from liability anyway.
I do not recommend taking online. Schedule my for the 70-740 exam. When I started the agent, I requested a photo document. I did the procedure, but the agent could not verify my document. He asked me to close and start the process again. When doing the same procedure did not start any longer. I contacted Pearson Vue and they declined my examination because they could not verify my photo document. I called the Pearson Vue, but no solution. I lost my money and the right of proof that I did not even begin to do.
I got a couple of problems with this video: 1- The wrinkled shirt and pants and his messy haircut. It seems as the exam taker had just woken up. For first time exam takers, it is not recommended to sleep in your car the night before the exam. Take a good sleep and be relaxed before taking the exam. Also, the picture you take in here, will be saved into the NCEES website with your certificate. 2- At 2:11 you can see that the exam taker is starting the exam at approximately 9:50AM. You can see the sunlight thru the window's shade and the clock on the wall. At 3:31, he came back after an unscheduled break at the time is approximately 10:17AM. At 4:01 he is done with the exam at approximately 10:23AM. In other words, it took him ~ 33 minutes to complete the test. 3-You can also see that in 2:56 he has answered 13 questions (Question 14/110) in just 3 minutes after starting the exam so I would think that this guy is a genius. But in 3:21, you can see that he has only answered 3 more questions in almost 1h as he is still at 17/110...Further investigations are needed on this video as I think we have found an answer to the time machine fiasco.
it said that we are allowed to have an unscheduled break, and in the video showed that we can go to the lock we have been given, but it says that we don't have access to prohibited items. isn't it conflicting? Also, can we go to restroom during the unscheduled break?
Hello, the reason you can access prohibited items on a scheduled break but not on an unscheduled break is because you will have submitted a portion of your exam just before the scheduled break. Therefore, you won't be able to go back and change any answers. Most people use unscheduled breaks to access food, water, or the restroom.
During the FE exam, are the questions sorted by topic? Or are the problems given randomly? I'd like to know if I'll be able to work all of the math problems together, then move on to dynamics problems, for example. Or will I need to continually jump back and forth between topics in the reference handbook?
either on screen calculator or site provided hand calculator required! Disposable blank paper with pencil or white board plus marker for basic notes. Next, second screen, because all engineering work requires reference review/verification while you are doing the work. A single screen is only adequate for someone who uses the screen to read romance novels. These exam proctors have no idea what it takes to solve an engineering problem or design a structure that requires repeated review of tables or graphs, and various codes. So don't blame the proctor organization, they are clueless. Complain to the organization that controls the NCEES. even there they are probably out of date to the current trade skills required to work today. I passed the two day exam in an un-airconditioned in a desert city, using pencil and paper with hand calculator and bound book of math tables and bound code books. Sweat from my arms made some parts of the exam paper too wet to write on and the guy next to me had his slide-rule catch fire. 😅
Should I throw out all my books from college? And after I pass the exam, I'll have to go back to Pearsons to solve any problems because I'm not allowed to use my own notes prior to stamping a drawing for a customer. Sounds unrealistic. Sounds like NCEES is getting cheap. Show me the numbers of the people that cheated prior to "VUE exam-day experience." 10^-9 percent?
I took the Mblex here and they were creepy as fuck. The test was adaptive, which does not let you know how you are doing, the questions get harder if you are answering correctly. It's just weird. I passed my first time, but wouldn't want to take it again.
This company is a joke. Completely unreasonable not to allow blank computer paper and a wooden#2 pencil FOR A MATH TEST!!! Hang on let me get out my lemon juice and secret decoder ring to cheap WITH MY BANK PAPER! As far as a TI30X calculator being allowed like the video shows, forget it. Its on the screen which threw me for a loop.
I took CBT exam last few days here in Dubai Society of Engineer and fail. My exam wasn't that difficult but full of drugs computation and that my Co-Filipino in charge "Lie" to me. I asked him for screen calculator and he said "not available!
The experience is largely the same, but the questions are different. You can learn more by reading over the exam specifications. ncees.org/engineering/fe/
But is it harder per say, are the topics more advanced or different? According to old forums this seemed to be the case but I haven't found anything from recent to verify that it is still the case.
This is an old myth dating back to when the exam was administered in pencil-and-paper format. It's all relative. Some questions/sections are harder for some people than others. The exam is not designed to get progressively more difficult.
And it's probably also a myth that the first section consists entirely of general knowledge (math, prob & stats, fluids, statics, etc.) and the second consists entirely of elements of our respective disciplines, correct? NCEES does a good job of providing content for each discipline, but it does not discuss how the two sections are broken up.
Haha this reply is a little late as I took the test 3 weeks ago. My advice to anyone reviewing for it is you only need 3-5 full days to prepare for the Mechanical Engineering FE exam if you're still in school but have taken all relevant classes or right out of school. 1-2 days review NCEES handbook thoroughly. 1 day do practice exam you can order from them. 1-2 days review what you didn't remember or did poorly on on practice exam. The test doesn't have hard questions, just a lot of them.
Its the present worth of this 4-year project turns into an 4-year annuity. Pretty simple heh? But to be honest, I calculated 3 times and first 2 times were wrong. So be sure to write down the formula when you do this kind of problem. (Source: Recent grad who is going to take FE other disciplines first trial within half a year )
Convert all payments except the first into present worth (the first already is), then add together all payments, then convert to annual worth. This is what I think youyuyou is saying. When I did it I got D.
NCEES a national non profit wants my full identity? With a palm scan? We spend years climbing into debt to serve the country, gain a degree in something that is dear to our hearts. THEN need to prove our worth via a corrupt private business? NO! NO! NO! First question on the exam, do you give your most valuable information to a private company? NO!
So wait? All I had to do was watch youtube and pay you 175 bucks to be an engineer? What was the money and time dedicated to the university for? It seems like a way to just take more money from hard-working people.
