What calculator y'all bringing to the FE? Anything beat my TI-36X PRO

Same boat brother!! I failed my FE exam when everyone passed. I was embarrassed and depressed but i was the first one to pass the PE 😎 never give up!!

Failed FE first time around too. Like getting hit in the face by a brick wall! Absolutely devastating. I had to rethink if I was really wanting to do this. So after some deep soul searching I decided I wasn't going to study. Instead I put myself to understanding every bit of my course work during the next year. I passed on all the group cram sessions however I did take a prep class. Best class was test strategy. Learning how and which problems were most likely wrong helped tremendously. Day of the test arrived and I felt confident. Second time a completely different experience. I even finished early and I knew I had passed. That was way back in late 2006. Now I'm still facing the dreaded PE. Due to some setbacks from the 2008 crash I didn't take it until 2015. Absolutely bombed it. Felt even worse. I dragged myself around for a couple of years then decided to take it again in Fall 2019. I studied and prepped but still I wasn't into it. Bombed the second time around. Now I'm set for taking it next month. I'm feeling a bit unprepared but I'm going to dive right in and I know eventually I pass or get banned. Wish me luck. I'll be checking out your channel for the next lil while

Thanks for sharing your story. I think it’s stories like this that help with test anxiety, I’m so nervous to not pass the FE on my first attempt that I’ve put it off for as long as possible. But there comes a time where you just bite the bullet and say screw it, let’s get it done!

Thank you! This is really helpful. I am planning to take the FE Civil Practice exam next year and I didn't know where to start since the last licensure exam I took was 10 years ago. Now I have an idea on how to attack the practice problems. Thanks for the tip!

thank you so much for sharing! I am taking my FE next week and im SO nervous lol. I have been getting frustrated at myself for not remembering concepts from freshman year. But what you mentioned seems to be the common theme of what ive been hearing which is to know where everything is in the manual instead of trying to memorize stuff. I will take that approach this week as I continue practicing. Thank you!

I passed the FE the first time, but failed the PE the first time. I had a death in the family and still went to the exam. Went out of it knew I bombed it and wasn’t happy about what I did. I took the time to recollect my thoughts and ideas to be mentally able to go back to do the exam again and here I am going back to do it. This time I am ready to kill it. Appreciate your videos! I think everyone has their sort of journey/challenges but in the end of the day we all know we are competent. Just need that license to fulfill our career goals!

Great informative video Thank you for sharing. I am planning on attempting the FE exam wish me luck!

Great Video! Also wanted to say thanks to you. I have received a good amount of views from being on your suggested video list.

I have been putting off taking the FE for a while bc I’m afraid I’ll fail it. That book full of problems feels so daunting when you think you have to relearn everything from the beginning. Glad I ran across your video. It makes studying for it much more approachable. Thank you!

I would still suggest still memorizing problems to some extent. The NCEES exam reference manual is digital and the "Find" option isn't great and makes it much harder to find specific equations. I think I spent more time trying to find specific formula than actually doing the problems. Next time.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. This is such a great tip.

The best calculator ever!!! The only one I ever had through my undergraduate, I literally never needed anything else.

Good information!!

I failed as well. I panicked towards the end missed VERY easy questions about gear ratios. I knew exactly how to do the problems, but when I hear that we are almost out of time I freak. When they gave me the breakdown of the sections, I failed because of those last couple questions.

Hey man. Greetings from Salem! I had a similar experience my first time: I showed up at 7:45am, and walked into the facility. I didn’t know they were still requiring masks, so When I got to the testing facility, the guy told me that I needed a mask. By now, it’s

I love the video, thank you. I would suggest lowering the volume on the background music.

Thanks for sharing your story. It's really inspiring. I have FE CIVIL exam in next month and already stressed out about it. I am using fe civil practice problems book . Which book were you recommending in the video? Can you please share it?

Dude what is the book that they give you and does it have concept solutions??

I took the FE 4 times failed never went fully ready. Hopefully, the 5th time with full preparation I will be fine.
