@Bruh! My plan was to self study, I didn’t have time to attend classes and for practicing problems. I signed up for SOPE only because I didn’t have to pay upfront (my company had an agreement with them). I didn’t watch their lectures but I read notes and did all the problems. Their NEC notes...

Passed.  I hate to admit this on a public forum but I pretty much abonded my family for 2 months. To be clear, I am not recommending anyone to do this. I documented hours study, references used etc. I’ll post it soon. Thanks EB community, I wouldn’t have done this without you.

@daydreambeliever and @LyceeFruit sorry to hear that. Keep your head up. @roy167 and @RadioBox, I haven’t been following most EB discussions. Why the name calling? Let’s get along ppl, we are on this journey together. 

I have an all day meeting tomorrow. If results are released, I hope I’ll be strong enough not to check till I get home. Otherwise my co-workers will see another side of me.  If I fail, I am probably gonna cry. If I pass, I will get up and do my happy dance. Either reaction is embarrassing.

@ChebyshevII_PE I know, I benefited from all the great feedback before the test. I don’t mind the trolling. If I pass, I will help out future test takers and might come up with my own pranks.

That was the first red flag for me. Second, he/she started with “don’t believe the survey story” but trust mine. In my experience, liars try to discredit others first before selling you their BS. I interact with attorneys in my job. Let’s just say, I can smell liars from a mile away 😀 Btw, I...

Have mercy, dear EB folks. We are worried enough, what’s up with all this games? 

I hear you, I was exhausted about halfway through PM session. I kept thinking, I really hope I don’t have to go through this BS again.

Good luck, I hope you pass. I really respect you and all the others who chose to give it another shot. I am so exhausted mentally & physically, I am thinking of taking a break before signing up for another attempt. I can’t imagine putting my family through another round of this. The whole...

I was expecting a bloody battle but found the test to be fair. Can I say with confidence that I passed? Absolutely not. I reviewed a few references after the exam exam and noticed I made mistakes/picked the wrong answer (especially NEC). I never used NEC before, I studied whatever material I...

Thanks for your input. I did more practice  problems and got better results. I used the method suggested, doing the exam in multiple passes. Also, I started studying at coffee shops for “conditioning”. My usual study place is too quiet, I need to practice ignoring distractions. Hopefully no...

Based on practice tests, I noticed I make silly mistakes when I try to stay within 6 mins per question (using a timer). If I forget about time, my score improved significantly but I end up with a few questions unfinished at the end of the allocated 4 hrs for each section. I guess I don’t do well...

I suppose it boils down to personality type. I am with the “better safe than sorry” crowd. In the absence of actual information regarding the test, I would rather bring reference books to the exam that might help. I plan to review everything in my possession, if not every page, at least so I...

I would bring protection book. So far, I read the 1st four chapters out of Paithankar book. If I have time, I will read the entire book and try the problems/quizzes. Anyone has solution manual for this book? I might buy the IEEE book as well, it was recommended here (this forum). Also, the...
