I’m watching this in the bathroom at the test site for my FE ...
@@sierracosta47 How'd it go? I take mine late September!
@@sierracosta47 Do you think this video was helpful? Considering I have a month until my exam.
@@jtlegionnaire6310 Was the video helpful? lol
@@fairland5 I didn’t pass the first time, take it again next week! I just buckled down and bought a program and have done 10-40 problems a day. Hoping it makes a difference
@@jtlegionnaire6310 Which program?
My daughter is an engineer and decided to also take this test, she just passed it.I am so proud of her! Good luck to all of you on here that are taking the test. Also, good for you to the man on here who also passed the test.
May you ask your daughter send some information about this test? My husband wants to take it we’re from DR
It sounds like every class in engineering school. They take you down a dark alley and just beat the heck out of you. Then they grade on the curve.
Exactly
But sometimes without the curve
Being a sophomore in a mechanical engineering program , I can confirm.
Facts straight ass beatings and humilations
What the hell is this curve? I want a curve (senior chemical engineer)
I just failed the FE exam. 😔🥺 I cannot begin to articulate the level of embarrassment and heartache I'm feeling. This so heartbreaking 💔
Just say "I haven't passed yet." Don't take it as a failure but see it as a learning opportunity. There is a lot of power in "Yet", you are telling yourself that you will get there and that your eyes and heart are still fixed on your goal
Well! Mann I've taken the exams for the second time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it
You will pass dude I believe every one has their own season,just keep going pray and
believe you will receive
I took the fe exam last month. I'm very dissapointed, the exam is not even close to the practice material that the NCEES sells online. The level of difficulty is like 5x or 6x
I'm sorry about your plight my friend but i was once in your shoes before i was recommended to Mrs Tracy and that's how i passed My FE exam
This seems to be a good plan. I’m currently studying for my Electrical and Computer FE. Hoping to be ready to take it in a month or 2 (been studying for some time now). I’ve been going through the reference manual and the practice book at the same time and then will give it a try to the NCEES practice exam and evaluate my score from it.
Thanks for that
Took it last week for Electrical. Passed it. So exited. I recommend buying the practice book from the NCEES. That really helped. Took the exam three weeks after graduating. Recommend taking it as soon as possible, since most material is still fresh in your brain.
Congratulations!
Congrats
@@MikeOBrienMedia Congrats!! @Engineered Mojo Hi, thanks for all you do, I do hope you answer very soon. I am writing the SPE Certification Exam in May not the PE Exam, as I am presently not in the US. Please suggest which practice problems I can use and please do you know anyone who has taken the exam recently?
Congratulations, but is not the same with civil engineering
Congrats!
thanks for this! super helpful advice
God bless you Mike, I am taking it sometime next year. Practice practice practice :)
thank you very much for your detailed talk!
it's been a long time coming for me and I just started my final semester. I wanna give thanks. This video is very informative and helps ease my worried and stupid engineering mind. I'll also have you know I just ordered the suggested fe exam practice booklet
Great to hear! Good luck on your exam! I honestly found mine to be fun. I was just working through all the problems and I passed thanks to this technique
I appreciate the tips!
Thank you for this video!!! :D
Very informative video!
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Kirubel!! Good luck on the exam!
So much helpful brother.
Thank you 💕😌
Thank you for making this video. I take my exam in two weeks and this helped a ton with the anxiety and gave me a lot more confidence that I am doing well in my studying.
Thanks this was helpful
Thank you for watching!!
that works, I saw your video!
Former less than B student who studied for less than an hour for this whole exam and passed it on the first attempt WITHOUT BUYING ANY REVIEW MATERIALS. How? Units! I looked at formulas on the formula sheet to see how they got from the units in the question to the units in the solution. That helped me find the correct formula I needed to solve many problems. For problems I couldn't find an answer for, I picked c.
What do you mean by that? having a hard time understanding your point
Thank you!
Very informative. I'm an MET guy so the only difference we have is that my state requires me to work 6 instead of 4 year to take the PE.
Just fyi, it's considered polite to disclose that you are using referral links.
That being said, excellent video! I like and subbed
I have 3 practice books I'm using to study for FE mechanical. I was told to find some computer-based practice tests that can mimic the FE experience. I'm looking for at least two tests to take before and after I'm done studying with all my books to see how I improved. I haven't found any. Can anyone share some links?
Hey mike, great help!👍👍
Further,can you please elaborate the option to apply for FE with experience under a PE for 3 years.
Great video Mike. What school did you go to for undergrad? Do you feel like you were well prepared for the exam prior to doing your own studying?
Hi! Where can I found the sheet for the FE electrical?
Hey, Mike! What if a foreigner with a degree in Civil Engineering (12 years' experience as a draftsman (vocational school), 2020 university graduate) moves to the States. What exams do they HAVE TO take in order to get a job? I mean, can they get one without taking FE or PE?
I use the same book to do practice problems in; that being said, did the book help you a lot to pass the exam?
I noticed that there is no specific book for architecture, so what book should architects study from the civil book or the genetic one?
Can you use Cntrl-F on the formula sheet during the exam? I've been doing that while I study, it makes finding things on there very quick.
Yes there is a search feature very similar to Ctrl-F
very useful thanks
Now you're my fav tech reviewer
Very informative video thank you so much. What do you think about using the FE Mechanical Review Manual instead of the practice problems book?
Thanks for watching, Juan!! I think it depends on what you buy. I bought a manual by the same company that made the practice problems I talked about and it had the wrong subjects. It was generalized for any engineering (i.e. It had a lot of chemistry and natural sciences that I didn't need to know). Also, I think the practice problems were especially good because they forced me to learn the formula sheet. Once you know where to find formulas, the test was a lot of plug-and-chug
5:54 Bruh don't insult my TI-36x Pro. My graphing calculator can't even compare to this beast
That calculator really is the GOAT, used it all through college and into the FE exam!
@@Thebassmark she's a keeper
That calculator is a beast!!
Hey buddy, can you suggest me a youtube channel where I can get literature (classes) for civil engineering FE exam?
Get a TI-36X pro! it is the best calculator you can use on the exam. Get used to it before hand. The 36X pro does definite integrals and derivatives
Hi! What is the difference between the review and the practice book ?
Thank you ❤️🤘
Hey bro I have a question. So I havevnt been in school in say 6 years ok.. but I want to practice the FE and then work on getting the PE. Isnt it possible that I practice and get it and not have to work or intern for a company for 4 years?
Also how to I do the practice FE from the ncees page? Thanks..
So should i wait to take the fe exam until i get a job which could be in a different state? Or is it transferable?
Much thanks
Hi Mike,
I hope that you are keeping safe and doing well.
I m so much worried about my FE exam which was scheduled on
June 26, But NCEES rescheduled my exam on July 26 without my consent & request.
Can I able to take exam as per June 2020 spec.
, when I sit for exam as per new scheduled date July 26.
AS per NCEES schedule, my FE exam will be conducted based on beginning new July 2020 syllabus & spec.
Kindly pls give my query’s answer soonest possible, so that I can reorganize my study plan to pass FE exam.
good video. when you took it were all of the different topics mixed throughout exam? The practice tests I've done have them grouped but idk what the actual exam would be like.
They were pretty much grouped and in order. This made using the formula help sheet really easy
One other question. Is it FE first then PE? Thanks.
i'm taking this exam, the mechanical one, in two weeks, i'm super pumped ive been studying for months and i'm ready to nail it
passed btw
@@alexs_toy_barn Congratulations! Did you use the study guide in this video or the one provided by NCEES?
@@shaunbakhrebah1492 i used the lindberg study guide and a copy of an old ncees practice questions book.
@@alexs_toy_barn awesome, thanks for your response! Do you have any tips for me? I plan on taking the exam mid January/Early February. Haven’t started studying yet lol
@@shaunbakhrebah1492 read through the whole study guide once or twice, then do a practice test and see how long it takes and record how often you need to look up solutions. my method of studying was to read the lindberg book and study all the solutions and different types of problems until my eyes were numb. don't bother much with the conceptual stuff, the exam is like 98% math. also i didn't realize until after i had taken the exam that there were resources out there explaining exactly what had been taken out or added into the topics list since june 2020 when the exams were updated
Thank you
Hi Kanza, Thanks a lot for ur continuous very informative video of FE exam for various subject.
I scheduled for FE exam of other disciplines on June 26. But NCEES rescheduled my exam on July 26 without my consent & request.
My question I have to take FE exam based on July 2020 syllabus & spec.
Or I can able to take exam as per June 2020 spec.
Kindly pls give my query’s answer soonest possible.
Informative video, thank you. As far as i know FE exam is also required to get Licence of Professional Engineers in Canada (e.g APEGA in Alberta). Can you please advise if material recommended in the video can help? Or FE exam in Canada and USA is different?
FE in Canada and US is the same. If you graduated from a Canadian university, you do not need to take the FE exam to get PEng in Canada (from Alberta)
I live outside the US and while trying to book for my FE exam, I was asked to choose a board. But I don't know which board to choose and based on what. Any help? Thank you.
I think these rules vary by state, right? For example in North Carolina I think anybody can take fe exam
I have completed my BEng (hons) Civil Engineering in 2016 from university of East London which is accredited university in Washington Accord. But then i moved to Australia and i worked there for couple of years and now i am moving to USA so being a civil engineer what things do i need to get a title of Professional Engineer. and whats the path way for it. Thanks
What if i am working under a professional engineer while in school? would i be able to take PE right after i pass the FE?
I am a fire protection engineer student in my senior year. Does passing the FE exam allow to obtain an EIT in a different discipline in engineering such as civil or mechanical engineering?
Edward, the FE is a preliminary engineering exam to prepare for the PE. To practice as a licensed engineer in a specific field such as Civil or Mechanical you have to pass the PE exam. As a PE you are licensed in your state to sign off for engineering specs, designs, approvals.
Does your FE exam ever expire? I know that PE needs renewed but wasn't sure about the FE.
You can use a ti-36 model which does a lot more than that calculator
2 weeks till I take mine I feel relatively good about it but I feel like I’m gonna start bugging out a few days before lol
Could you give tutoring?
hello Mike, I am from Virginia, I graduated overseas from Bangladesh also in mechanical.
so 2 questions. where or who to contact with to get ensure if I need the extra 3 years and second, where do I get the equation and table sheet? Thanks.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!! I would call NCEES to make sure you get your 3 years property recorded. Also, the equation sheet is a PDF you can download from NCEES.org
Hi friends.I'm also graduated from Bangladesh,now in Virginia.i took fe exam last year & failed.are the online courses for FE is helpful?
Hi. Please Can you help me with a book on Industrial? . Thank you
Very useful, thank you Sir.
How did you review for the sections that you did not do well on?
Thanks for watching Stephen!! To answer your question, I would go back to my college notes and textbooks and reread chapters or sections. It didn't take too long since I learned it before. For me, it was the fluid machines segment. I had to reread some old material and brush up on when to use which equations. Hope this helps, good luck!
Thanks! Would you you say the exam was harder than the practice problems you did?
Some of them were. The practice problems in the book started easy and got harder within each chapter, so the exam Q's were easier than the hardest few for sure
How long did you all study for? I've been out of school for 3 years :(
Me for 2.5 im so scared :( im doing the whole ncees practice exam with solutions, then gonna try without them.... and hope that theyre like the exam?!
FYI.....In Pennsylvania it requires 8 years of work under a PE before you can sit for the FE without an Accredited BS.
How many sections are on the test? What are the names of the sections? I’m with the city public works.
As an international student studying In the US should I take this test? Is it going to be worth it for finding a job?
Thank you so much for your helpful video. I hope that you can show me the link for the practice questions of chemical engineering and thank you again.
Hey. Is the FE exam questions come in order [Math, statistics, PC tools, ethics, Eng Econ, Electric, static, and so on] as it shows in exam CBT specifications sheet. Or the questions all over the place? I can see you took it a year ago but I hope you can still remember because I'm taking it a month from today,.
I'm pretty sure it is in order. That makes things much better, but I still used the search function to find things more easily
Yes
I am a Mechanical Engineer and I want to pass this test and who can help me? From which source I can find the required materials for preparation.
what age did you write your FE exam? is there a limit? I am 36 can i write now ?
well thanks for this useful video i graduated ten years a go and i am not sure if i can still study and go to this exam how hard do you think it will be because i am a little bit depressed
It’s been a 10 years for me and was putting on hold all this time, you just have to suck it up and grind through each chapter, don’t skip, just tackle one at a time consistently, used the schedule provided in the FE book , good luck
Good luck!!
FE CIVIL EXAM ADVICE: should I take it Nov 22nd? THANK YOU
Hello everyone! I’m conflicted in taking the FE Exam for the first time November 22nd of this year. I just graduated BS in Civil Engineering in May and have rescheduled this exam twice now. I have less than a month to study and I do not feel prepared to take it as of right now.
My study plan is trying to watch all 12 videos of Gregory Michaelson FE Review and I have a practice book of a ton of practice problems so look at those.
My advice I need is do I take it knowing that I won’t be as prepared if I reschedule it, or reschedule it for a third time with the intention of studying for real.
Let me know guys! Thank you so much
Cassi if I was you, I would just take it and see how it goes! even if you don't pass for the first try, you will have an experience and that will help you to study better for the second time.
Can I take the FE if my institution is IChemE accredited
Practice Practice and Practice..
What do you think about Genie Prep online course? I did found reviews on the famous websites like PE School and others but nothing about Genie
I need honest feedback please
So i am currently studying for my FE civil. Its been three years since college. I got the study book and practice exam. I have worked as a QC engineer and as a superintendent on different job sites. Will any of those hours be good enough to submit after the FE exam? Or those it have to be strictly under a PE?
If your supervisor has been a PE licensed engineer then yes.
When I should set exam appointment? Is it possible prior to one or two days?
Thanks for watching!! And it may vary from place to place. If your local testing center is very busy, you might need to schedule farther ahead of time. If not, you can call and schedule for the very next day like I did
Hi Mike … Thanks for the valuable information.... I am currently planning for this exam in Electrical and computer Engineering … can u please send me the link for books that could be useful for me to crack this exam
Try these two:
amzn.to/2Aia2FC
And
amzn.to/2LBmwwC
One is a review manual and the other is a practice book. It's from the same company I used for ME. I would recommend them. Good luck with your exam!
How's your preparation for EIT electrical engineering exam? If you know about the best books send me link please.
Does the book you have a link for in the description have the formula sheet included? Also, are the formula sheets different for different engineering branches? I am a MEEG and just want to make sure. Thanks again!
My book didn't have a formula sheet because there is a free one when you create an account with ncees. If you set up your ncees account correctly, you should have the correct formula sheet
All major has same book inside same manual. You can get the manual for quite cheaply and trust me it's worth it. It is helpful in exam if you familiarise it
Watching this before I even start my Engineering Course
Watching this 7 years before my exam
Can you take the FE exam in your senior year before you have your degree?
So I just started an ABET school for electrical engineering technology…. I can still take this test and become a full engineer once I’m done correct? Someone please respond
Did you notice that the practice problems were very close to the actual exam itself?
What happens if i fail? I mean, i suppose i can take it again but is there a minimum amount of time to do so? or you could literally just go next week and try again ?
3 fails. After that you need to jump through some hoops to retake it
How many attempt you did to pass this exam
Is the exam multiple choice or do you have to show your work. Or is it a little bit of both
No need to show your work.
Hi I LIKE YOUR VIDEO
We want books for Industrial Engineering
Indeed! Researched & found two on Amazon
Had I seen this before I scheduled my exam for next week ...
Hey. If you already took the FE exam can you gove me an advice am taking it next a month from today. Also, I would like you to tell me if the exam questions were in order as it shows in the CBT specification sheet like math question first then statistics and so on. Please
Hi, Ahmed I hope you have taken your Exam. Please let me know about that
@@eng.mohamedabdallahosman1235
He failed I guess!
Hahahhh
Did you fail the exam?
Out here waiting for the PE exam video
NASA designs do not require approval by a PE.
Yeah lots of companies have their own internal systems to require sign offs from senior engineers and they promote engineers to Sr. Egr. as they see fit
Bro I’m an mechanical engineer from India. I recently finished my bachelor’s degree and am trying to pass fe exams is there end way I can contact you?
Watching this 4 months before my exam. Taking the FE: Other Disciplines on March 2021
How did it go Edwin?
Help mi
Anyone who is a biological/ biomedical engineer in R&D process scale up... I'd love to know how professional hours count... I'm designing processes and executing production experiments for gene therapies (upstream bioreactors, human cells, tranfection cocktails all that).... If anyone has any advice or experience in this industry please let me know! (My manager is not a PE nor anyone on my team... Most are engineering PhDs)
Can I get a int.P.E from India?
No i guess
Yes, You can, check with state engineering board, there will be a procedure.
Your irritation at being given an unqualified PASS rating, with no feedback to improve your understanding, is laudable.
Thanks! Good luck on your test!
Why did this video get dislikes? Explain yourself, you dislikers....
Please don’t say easily 😭😭😭 this exam is really not easy who left the school for 5 yrs 😔
BTW, if you need this video to teach you how to work out worst case score... you're probably not ready...
I needed this video when I was preparing so I could feel confident enough about the exam. And I passed on my first attempt. Knowing the worst case can help to calm people down, or else indicate how much studying is needed
