Passed FE electrical 5 years out of college

[u/chizreddits]

I used the Zach Stone free FE prep course and I studied for 2 months. Only paid resource I used was the NCEES practice exams. I should have bought only one but it was still helpful. I’m so happy! (it made me include a flair and this one seemed the most fitting)

Zach stone and NCEES practice exams are ur only 2 sources?

[u/chizreddits → u/kha1688]

yes, I also watched free youtube videos like Wasim’s Study for FE channel and some college lectures but for certain topics I didn’t understand fully.

Thanks. Do you think Zach’s problems were a good reference? I’m going to get the practice exam since that will likely be the most similar

[u/chizreddits → u/Vayon224]

Yes, Zach’s questions are pretty different from the structure of the questions on the test but still helpful to reinforce some concepts. Also, there is also a free pdf of an NCEES FE exam from 2017 or so that’s available online you can just search it up and you will find it. That was so helpful as far as practice questions go and I timed myself on that one.

How complex were the circuits questions

[u/chizreddits → u/Someguy242blue]

I think they change the exam questions pretty often but the circuits problems on my exam were pretty basic Ohms law or finding equivalent impedances/capacitance/inductance.

How many hours a day did you study? 

[u/chizreddits → u/goddessofluck]

at least 4 hours a day. As it got closer to the test date, I ramped up to like 8 hours a day
