100% agree. Absolutely don't use this as your method of passing the test. You have to put in the time and effort to pass this exam. However, in the event you absolutely cannot figure out a question or two...gold mine!
Anyone out there in a study course with an instructor that use to make the test questions...go ahead and ask them about this and post afterwards. (although that would kill all the hilarious memes)
Im telling you I didn't believe it at first either. I had to ask the instructor three times. everyone in the class was shocked but extremely gracious. That's why I called NCEES too. Unless you made the questions at some point or knew someone that did you would not believe all of the statistics...
Yeah I am not sure if it applies to any other tests. That's why I posted it under this Mechanical section. Definitely don't want to throw anybody else off. Can always call and ask them though. Congrats on passing! I heard in a couple years it will be all computerized like the FE just changed...
or the first 38...then you know one is C and one is D so just guess C for both and you get one right. If you didn't know this tip then your chances of getting both are ridiculously lower obviously.
By all means people should be studying their butts off. But nobody gets them all right and when you do need to guess...knowing this will vastly increase your chances.
There are 40 questions in the morning and 40 questions in the afternoon portions of the exam (duh, i know). BUT, for each of these portions there are always 10 A's, 10 B's, 10 C's and 10 D answer choices! I seriously exponentially increased my chances of guessing on the ones I did not know just...
I called NCEES to see if it was ok to share this info and not only did they say it was ok but they also confirmed this. And yes it is a huge advantage. The best way to take the test is to go through and answer the questions you know how to do first. Let's say you've done that and you go back to...
