Hi all, I'm taking a the exam in April and have been doing my best since last fall to prepare. I'm currently enrolled in the School of PE program, have purchased both of the recent NCEES Power exams, and the complete 4 exam set of Complex Imaginary. My studying has gotten me to the point where I was scoring into the 90% range on the aforementioned tests (I try to do one practice exam per week), and I was feeling pretty good about my progress.
That is until this week. I decided to mix it up and try the Engineering Pro Guides Power exam, and I did really badly on it my first time through under simulated testing constraints.
Now I'm worried a month away from the exam that my methods have not been correct. I don't feel like I'm memorizing answers on my prior practice tests, as there are so many questions I can't commit them to memory if I tried. But there is an obvious disconnect of some kind, otherwise there wouldn't be such a disparity between the score on my old exams and the new one.
Has anyone else had this happen to them in their exam preparation? I worry a month out to that I haven't been employing the correct methodology all this time. If this has happened to you, how did you go about getting back on track?
