I was wondering if anyone who has recently taken the EE exam could compare the two in terms of level of difficulty, wording of the problems, types of problems, etc. Thanks.
Ditto.The NCEES sample exam is the closest thing you are going to find to the real thing. I suspect that the sample exam contains actual retired exam questions.
Ah, good point! Don't forget to take Dr. Kaiser's practice exam. It is also very similar to the real exam, and it is free. To get the solutions to the exam, just email Dr. Kaiser with your name and location (he keeps stats on who uses his practice exam).K.Kaiser.
I used a reference on just about every single question, whether I thought I knew how to do it or not. I felt like I had plenty of time to double check my first reactions. I just started at question #1 and worked my way through #40. I did mark a few for further review at the end if I had time, but ended up not changing my initial answer on any of them.Thanks, guys.
I have been trying to find as many problems to work as possible but many in textbooks seem to require more complex computations than those in the NCEES book. I also notice that some of the sample exam problems contain extra information not needed to find the solution, so I assume I can expect the same on the actual exam. I have been trying to review fairly basic concepts and then use my references to help solve the problems, but I find myself taking longer than I want to come up with an answer.
Follow-up questions: during the exam, how did you use your references? A lot, very little, some, etc? Did you have a strategy or did you just dive right in?
BTW, I will be taking the power depth module.
Thanks to all for your responses.
