I’m studying for the FE and have come across an example problem in Lindenburg’s Review Manual that I cannot understand why he uses the values from the superheated steam tables. I attached a picture of the problem and its solution. My confusion is why he interpolates between the internal energy values for 350°C and 400°C when neither temperature value is ever mentioned in the problem statement.

Does anyone have a pdf copy of this that would be so kind as to email it to me? I thought I’d ask before purchasing it.

i wrapped up my mechanical fe early this month, just wanted to jump on here & thank this space for all the help and support. i've been out of school for almost 2 years and had a little over a month and a half to get it out of the way.

my resources were mainly Lindeburg practice problems, a few Mark Mattson, Gregory Michaelson, and GeniePrep videos for support and finished it up with one Practice exam from the NCEES website.

I am taking the Civil FE exam in June and was wondering if anyone has any advice. I have been doing practice problems for each section. YouTube channels I’ve used are DirectHUB, Mark Mattson, and Coach James.

Hi all, I’m taking the FE exam next month. I have been doing practice tests and I would like the see how I well I’m scoring to see if I’m in the range to pass/fail . Does anyone know what the passing score is?

These were the results from my first attempt back in March. I know the lines can be deceiving, so what should I really focus on?? Was I at least kind of close back in March?

I’m done with school now so FE studying is my primary focus.

Wishing you all good luck with studying!!

Anyone give a test on Fe environmental recently? Any feedback?

Taking Other Disciplines Friday. Using PPi2Pass, received a 63% overall. With 6 sections over 70 ( 3 above 80). One slightly below 70 (67%). Anybody know what the odds of passing are?

I feel confident when the questions are in front of me.

Found myself running out of time at the 85 question mark so essentially “C” my way out on the last 25 questions which I believe definitely brought my score down.

Hi Everybody,

Does the answer below is correct, shouldn't be C?

Curious if anyone uses any other people for studying for the FE. Here is a basic list I have. Either learning more about something or starting from scratch. This is what I got. Anyone to add?

I am officially taking my FE Exam tomorrow and I am just looking for any last-minute tips & tricks that anyone has. I have been studying since January and feel pretty confident. Any sort of advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, my boss and the ceo of the company I work for are pressuring me to take the PE exam within two months of registration. The reason behind this is that they want me to have an idea of what’s the exam going to be like. But I expressed to my boss and the ceo who are non engineers that you don’t have to fail it to learn what your weak points are and you have the ncees practice exam to give you an idea. In my opinion, their strategy is counterproductive. It’s better to have at least three months of preparation time and then take the exam instead of cramming everything in two months and having to sit 9 hours on the exam day is going to be painful. To give you a little insight of my work situation, I live in small and very touristy city and so jobs for engineering are hard to find. As a result, I work a hybrid job at an engineering firm where the office is two hours away. Given the long distance and the amount of traveling I usually have to do for the in office days every week it makes it harder for me to actually cover the entire material before taking the PE exam within 2 months. What’s frustrating is that even after studying non stop for almost 2 months I still feel like I need at least 1 more month to be ready for the exam and I expressed my concerns with my boss again but he’s still wanting me to take it thinking there might be a small chance of passing it and if not I will then learn my weaknesses which I disagree with. My exam is this Friday and I feel overwhelmed and very underprepared for it and I don’t have time to fully gauge the material ( I’m taking the power exam and it’s extensive). What would you do if you were in my situation?

I remember there was a mix design question from the last exam but don’t exactly recall how it was constructed. I think it was something like- a mix has proportion of 5% C Aggregate: 88% cement and 7% FA. If the % of cement by mass is 93% what is the % of CA by mass. Can anyone explain and solve it in layman terms ?

Could I get some advice from the people who are preparing or have cleared the FE OD exam recently.

My preparation plan is to go through PPI which I have an expiration date till June 15th. I also have the FE OD - How to pass on your first try 330 practice problems booklet. I recently purchased the Lindeburg Rapid Prep Manual as well.

Could I get some tips on a good strategy, plan is study from today till June end. Thank you in advance!

Hii, sino po dito mga Pinoy na gusto magtake fe exam. Pasabay po sana ako sa inyo haha And pahingi din nmn po tips Dyan.

After studying for three months, I have forgotten everything. I plan to solve three problems for each subject every day. Ideas, please!!

Hi Reddit,

What is the best practice problem book for the FE in other disciplines? Is it true that Lindeburg's material is significantly different from the exam?

Hi all,

Has anyone with IBS applied for test accommodation? I wonder what the FE accommodation would look like?

Here is "Something else", a carefully curated playlist regularly updated with atmospheric, poetic, soothing and slightly myterious soundscapes. The ideal backdrop for concentration and relaxation. Perfect for staying focused and relax during my study sessions. Hope this can help you too!

I’m planning on taking the FE other exam and am looking for book recommendations to use for studying. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi, I’m currently taking Wasim Asghar’s course and the SE videos lack the foundation/basic information. They probably make a lot of sense to EE’s, I’m an ME by degree. Any recommendations on resources that can help me understand the very basics of pseudocode and arrays? Thank you!

I have taken the test twice now, but I have been so busy with school I haven't had time to study like I how I wanted to. With graduation coming up, I signed up to take it at the end of June. Is there is any advice on what resources to study to pass? I am trying to remember how to do most of the problems and have been struggling to find the motivation to study. Just really nervous to not pass and go into work without having the certification completed.

I just stumbled across engineeringmedia.com. Brian Douglas. It has a bunch of free information on control systems and his YouTube channel seems really good and he’s got a free e-book that explains control theory. it has the info and then he draws out like easy to understand pictures that go with it. It’s about 160 pages. If that something you could use take a peek! 🫣

Hey guys!

I don't understand quite well the solutions of these:

https://preview.redd.it/5bt32pjinpzc1.png?width=533&format=png&auto=webp&s=b42c7415d8ecd34a9a194bc0373cbe296afcbb52

In case of the 18, the nonequilibrium work mode is for the C because all the work/energy that you are converting into heat through the resistor cannot be converted into work again, isn't it?

On the other hand, why isn't the same for the 19th? I mean, by heating a resistance you are not technically exchanging work, but energy that you cannot convert back into usable energy. According to the book, the answer is D, though. Why is it that? Because a bursting membrane could technically transfer work (it's moving the surrounding air by the expansion wave).

Thank you!

LETS GOOOO!!! Finally knocked out the FE and such a huge weight off my shoulders!

A little bit of backstory, I graduated from Undergrad back in 2020 (yay, Covid) so I am a good bit away from being buried in the books. I made the lazy decision and decided to push off studying for the FE even though I knew I wanted to do Consulting and Power Eng and the FE and PE would be necessary. I finally took the leap and prepared for a few months and failed the exam Feb 2023. After some time off and a few life events later I finally passed last month!

A few tips:

1. Consistency is everything. The FE is "a mile wide but an inch deep". You're going to have to cover a TON of topics so staying after studying week after week, month after month is a huge thing. Don't worry about missing a day, but try not to miss multiple in a row, this is the start of a new habit.
2. Enroll in a study program! I was stubborn my first attempt thinking I could complete practice problems and on-demand sessions but I undervalued the accountability and structure a study program brings. I used Wasim's Study for FE the 2nd go around and he's the man. Check out his course. At min. grab his study book from Amazon! He lays out the whole program and study sessions for you with HW + Live training and you always have access to him.
3. Practice, Practice, Practice! Don't underestimate the importance of completing as many practice problems as you can. Purchase the NCEES Prac Exam, review the tough sections the try again. Its the best preparation you'll be able to get.

Best of luck! You got this.

Took my exam today, definitely not what I was expecting or what I had studied. Probably going to have to take it again.
