Don't forget the nesc

Handbook because it is a hardback. I can't stand softbacks. Also look into a Tom Henry keyword index for the nec. It really helps a ton for finding information. Also get the tabs too.

I did not reference examples during the test. I felt it could be distracting and lead to errors. Like I posted on the other thread you started your job and exposure to topics helps. Do you understand every problem in the practice exams? I would dig into ones you aren't about and really build a...

What is your current job? All I studied was the practice exams, but I have been exposed to a lot of concepts through work.

When I started studying at the end of February I was overwhelmed. Looking at the ncees syllabus and skimming through the ncees practice exam I felt lost. I almost gave up but what helped me most were the practice exams. They helped me identify strong & weak topics. They also helped fill in...

Also talk to other potential test takers. I know being able to talk to Kovz and compare our prep and reference notes helped tremendously. It also helped me by knowing I wasn't the only one nervous about this test.

I passed my first time also. I started studying 6 weeks prior to the exam. Those weeks I would spent roughly 1-2 hours 5 nights a week doing practice exams. I did some on the weekends. I used the complex imaginary test(twice), spin up(once), NCEES(four times), PPI(once). I tried working the...

I bleed blue. it's UK vs the world

1st attempt. KY doesn't release scores

I started signed up for the exam February 18th. I ordered some books and practice exams on eBay. I tried to focus on some PPI sample exams but didn't like their format and wasn't getting anywhere with the NCEES practice test. Books arrived in March and I started studying usually nightly for an...
