Hi Mark, I just passed the FE using your videos and some more questions. Thank you so much you I’m not joking when I say you saved my life my job and my time spending with my toddler daughter. May Allah bless with his mercy

I just passed the FE exam 2nd take! Would really recommend Mark's videos for concept training! I passed after 15 YEARS since I graduated from college! Glory to God my Lord Jesus!

Happy to announced I just passed my FE exam (on the first try)! I was very overwhelmed with the studying process, but I watched all of your videos and it helped me immensely. This is an awesome resource that you have provided and I recommend to all Civil students who ask for tips on studying for the exam.

for the 5th problem i just found the area of the large rec and subtracted out the triangles and got the same answer.

I just passed the exam on my first attempt after watching and learning through these playlist videos for the whole three weeks of my studying. These videos highlight whatever you need to know about each civil topic and Mark’s explanation is super clear. I also recommended these to my colleagues. Mark, I want to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these videos. Even though I never met you before, I respect you as my professor. Thanks for making it available and free for everyone.

For QS 18 shouldn't the Z value = -2 ; 4000(X)-4400(mew)/200(sigma).....If yes how would we locate the negative Z value from the given tables in the reference book.

Passed the FE Exam a couple weeks ago after 3 previous attempts!!

I was surprised when I heard the professor Hover name drop only to realize you also went to Cornell! Thank you so much for making this series I just graduated and am brushing up to take the exam at the end of the month. 🤞🏼

THANKS FOR NOTHING MARK I FAILED! . . . JK I Passed! Thanks Mark! Your videos helped a lot!

Nobody's said this and it's driving me wild. For question 17 the only way you get 2 cm is if you use the natural log (ln) instead of log base 10. If you use log base 10 then you get closer to 0.90cm

Hi Mark, I have a question, why on question 8 do we omit the first 1/2(mv^2) out of the kinetic energy equation? I know we were given v anyway but I am curius to why it is cut out

Mattson you are the king of kings, I passed my FE with your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited, thank you so much!

Why is it 6 bars for number 8?

Thanks for preparing an introduction video to the shear and moment diagram!

On question 16, for the Slab Vol I think you need to subtract the 3 column footings?

How i can get the material ?

Hey Mark! I just wanted to drop a comment to thank you for sharing all these videos. I took my FE Civil exam 2 weeks ago and passed on the first try. Your review videos were very helpful to me while I was studying in preparation for the FE exam, especially since I graduated 10 years ago and have forgotten most of these subjects. Thank you again! Onward and Upward!

Hi Mark, I just passed my FEs. I relied on your videos and I think they prepared me very well. THANK YOU!

Thanks for all of the videos. I recently just took the exam and passed! Thanks for all the help once again!

I used this playlist as my main review for the FE and just found out that I passed on the first try! Thank you so much these videos were so helpful!! :)

In the maths and onther subject I am very good only my English is intermediate can I pass this exam I have Bachelor's degree in civil engineering

Hi Mark please guide me if I see the video in your channel can I pass the exam ? I bought FE practice books also please guide me I really need.

Is there a reason you don't use the values from the calculator but sometimes round to random significant digits? My answers from your videos are always sort of off because i use the value i get from the calculator

2 years later, that joke is still funny

For anyone unfamiliar with Question 7 (#7) dam analysis like myself, Pg. 263 of the 10.3 Handbook covers the equations used under "Horizontal Stress Profiles and Forces"

Thank you Mark for these helpful videos.

I got the news today I passed the civil FE exam! I am 5 years out of college and basically had to relearn everything again but guys I’m telling you this was one of my main study resources. Thank you sooooooo much mark for putting these videos out it helped a ton! Now Onward & Upward to the PE!!!!

Hello sir, I have just passed my Civil FE. I just want to say thank you so much for your videos. I graduated college in May 2022, but I got a job immediately and pushed off the exam till March of 2023. But I didn’t study at all and just used it for practice and failed. Again I pushed it off till this June 2024, but this time I studied only for 2 weeks and all I did was watch every video you have and do some practice problems from the FE civil practice exam. But truly your videos did the trick! So thank you.

Hi Mark , Where can find the solution for the Engineering economy section problems that you have shared ?

I have questions about this page , I have B.S in civil engineering from Afghanistan foreign countries my English level is intermediate. Can I pass this exam? If anyone can guide my I appreciate because I really need guidance from you.

Onward and upward 💪

Thanks for your sharing!

Thank you sir Mark. If it's ok to ask, what equipment and applications are you using in writing and recording this type of videos?

How did you find the angle of 2.7667 in question #14?

Very nicely explained Mark!

why isn't the moment at a negative since it creates tension on top and compression on the bottom

Hello Mark Q7 I agree the stirrups is not adequate but the spacing is 12 inches which is bigger than dh /2 8.75 inches not less than is this will impact the answer

I just took and passed my Fe on 6/5/24 and question 6 from this review was a problem on the exam I took

How do I get the version of the FE reference handbook that is used in this video?

hello, In Q2 Rt O.5x22x3 = 11kn. But the answer is 33kn u made a mistake there

I made problem #1 way more challenging than I had to after watching Mark's method. I used the sum of moments twice, sum of forces in x and y, and two equation two unknowns solve.

for question #7 towards the end when your calculating for overturning moment you multiply the weight of water (18k) by 8'? why do you multiply by 8'? that's the width of WC1? I'm just a little confused on that. Is it because the weight of that water is acting on the whole width of WC1?

Can you explain why you choose to do a 1 ft section for problem 14 rather than just doing it with the 5x5 footing?

Thanks for the nice videos. would you like to share the software name that you use to edit the pdf. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for these videos Mark! I just passed my Civil FE first try after 5 years of being out of school. These videos gave me the perfect jump start back into studying

For the first question, Live load reduction is not allowed for heavy loads greater than 100 psf (4.7.3 of ASCE 7-16). If it supports more than 2 floors (not given) then 20% reduction is allowed. So there should be no reduction taking place, right? I do not see thus stipulation in the handbook, but it is in the code. So the answer should be the 1300 Kip-ft right?

Always had a hard time learning and the professor makes or breaks it. This guy is amazing at what he does, humorous, not monotoned, explains everything in detail and makes you laugh at the end of his sessions with a great joke. Thanks for everything Mark, never change! Hoping to pass the FE in August

I already know there's no way I would get question #4 right on the test. I'm skipping that lol

Hey mark ,thank you so much your great tips .I have been all your videos' about FE exam. I'll apply FE exam after 20 days ,but my origin language Arabic , my English is mid ,please your prayers so pass FE.
