      @@dumbthings1067 That is amazing! A lot of people get scared to take the practice exams because they get scared of the result, but I really think is one of the best ways to check your progress and overcome your weaknesses! Thank you for sharing that and keep up the good work! You are going to do great 😊

      @@lastfirst6432 Thank you! I think you can do it in two months, however, it really depends on how you feel about it. I have seen people who studied only 2 weeks and some needed more than 2 months. What I am trying to say is that if you are comfortable with two months than that is great, do it. But if you would really feel more confident if you do 3 months, than do that. Just do what will make you more confident. Good luck and I hope this helps!

    I've been trying to study for the Mechanical FE for nearly 7 months post-graduation. I watched this video months ago, and came back to review it again. The biggest obstacle is that studying is super-monotonous and boring, and most normal people would rather be doing something else, especially after years of school and no weekends. I have the Lindeburg book, and initially followed the book's study plan sequentially...but quickly got bogged down in subjects I hadn't taken in awhile, or didn't really learn. I scheduled the exam well in advance to give me some "schedule pressure" as motivation (in hindsight, that was a mistake), but now I've only 6 weeks left, and am going to try your "triage" approach so I can study effectively and in a timely fashion.
    That's probably the most important piece of advice I've gotten from other licensed PE's in my workgroup...and the number one impediment to people taking the FE. You have to be highly efficient; if it turns into a slog, many (not all) people are going to either give up, or get distracted by work/family/life.

      Hello, so in this video, th-cam.com/video/sVu6L6dfzQQ/w-d-xo.html, I talk about the breaks and how to flag the questions. But I will also tell you more about it here. So for the FE exam, you do get a break after you finish about 50 questions, the monitor will ask you if you want to take a break or just skip it. I definitely recommend taking the 25 min break. Before you take the break, you will submit your answers, which you CANNOT change after the break, so make sure you answer all the questions. During the break, you can have access to the locker, and you can also bring food and water with you, so you could have it during the break. For studying, why don't you email me and I will email you the best strategies to study for the exam, engenieeronline@gmail.com. Good luck!

      Hello Husam, you can pick a quit place, make sure no body distracts you, your phone should be off, you should have your watch or a timer so you keep track of the time, and have a pen and papers where you can write. I would also recommend that you use the reference handbook on your computer and just make sure that you are not connected to the internet and you just have your PDF file open. Once your whole thing is set up, then you start taking the practice exam. Once you are done then you can check your answers. I hope this helps and good luck!

    Hi! i recently took the exam and am pretty sure i failed :( i did a lot of practice problems, exams, etc. Went to the exam very confident to find out my FE exam was about 40% conceptual: definitions, analyzing diagrams, random word questions.. To the point where i couldn't use my handbook lol.. personally i think FE is all about luck due to the type of questions you will get.. ended up being unsure about 40 of the problems :/

    • @Genieprep
      @Genieprep  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Alyssa, I am sorry to hear about your test! I heard from many of my students that the FE exam (2019) has a lot more conceptual questions than used to. I am not sure why they are changing that, maybe because they want to test students on concepts, rather then solving problems. Anyways, in my channel, whenever I solve a problem, I try to go over the concepts as much as I can, so that you guys will be able to tackle any given problem! I will try to post more conceptual questions in the upcoming videos. In the meantime, if you are interested, you can email me at engenieeronline@gmail.com and I will send you some practice problems, along with some tips on how to tackle the FE exam. You can also send me your diagnostic and I can help you come up with a plan on how to tackle this exam!

      @Genieprep  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello, I would recommend that you take as many practice exams as you can. Also, when you are solving the problems, try to focus on understanding the concepts as well, rather than just getting the right answer. From my own experience, I found that the FE practice exam has same level of difficulties as my exam. I would just really focus on your weaknesses and do as many problems as you can. If you are not confident to take it this month and you feel like you need more time to study and grasp the materials, then postponing is probably a good idea. Feeling confident about your exam can hugely affect your performance. I hope this helps and good luck!

    To exaggerate, lets SAY I get all questions wrong from structures or maybe surveying and get all other correct getting total 80% of questions right(all of structures and surveying wrong totaling to 20% ) . Will I pass? This is exaggeration but I hope you get my point.

      Hello, well first I am really sorry to hear about your exam! Second, try to take deep breadth and wait for the results before you draw any conclusions. I am pretty sure you guessed some of the answers, so who knows, may be you got some of them right. Also, try to stay positive right now, and the worse case scenario, just study the subjects you did not do well on them and just retake it. Now I honestly not exactly sure how the grading works, and I don't want to stress you out more, but I think if you get zero in one of the subjects, I think you may not pass. But if you do get 80% total, you will most likely pass because the average is usually 69% for FE Civil. It is really hard to say but my only advice to you right now, is try to do something fun, maybe be with family and try to forget about it till you get your result back. I hope this helps and I hope you passed 😊

However, for some topics, like transportation, some equations are not provided in the manual (I am not sure why) and you will have to remember them because you will get those questions on your exam.
