And except for #4 all of those dreams suck! That's not stress you need!

I think I posted this in a thread the last time I took the exam. I was in a fairly small room (maybe 50-75 people) and a guy realized he left his calculator at his apartment. He talked quietly to a proctor about it and left. He didn't make it back in time. All of his references sat there the...

I use the Casio fx-115es plus and I have a backup as well. When I took the FE I needed to use the integrate function for a problem. It was taking the calculator a VERY long time to compute. I started freaking out then remembered I had a back up. I was able to get through 2 different problems...

I completed CI practice exam 1 yesterday. I scored a 70. I was happy with how much I was remembering but nervous about some of the simple errors I made. Those are really the first problems I've worked outside of circuits so I'm hoping that once I really start digging in I make some big strides...

Yeah Eng Pro Guide goes way deeper than CI. I have written in my schedule (that I left on my desk at home) when I'm going to do the Eng Pro Guide Exam, I think it's a few weeks out. I know everyone has different studying techniques but that's what I'm going to try to do when I know I need to...

That's the plan. I don't remember the Complex Imaginary Practice Exams ever taking a full 8 eight hours. Last time around when I finished all the problems I would just stop and check solutions. This time if I finish early I'm going to spend time looking for errors and checking work like I would...

Were you consistently having trouble in certain topics or was it all over the board? If it is certain topics maybe you need to spend some time studying those.  I'm typically all over the board and get overwhelmed with the amount of topics that i feel I'm struggling with. This time around I'm...

I'm going through Glover right now and working some of those problems. I was happy with how much I was remembering after taking a year long break. The plan is to complete one of the Complex Imaginary exams on Sunday so I have a better gauge of where I'm at. FINGERS CROSSED!!! 

That's the key here! I opened my references and had made that note so I would know how to distinguish between the 2 on the exam. Zach has a really good article on his website about open delta xfmrs. I don't remember if he discusses the 2 xfmr in open delta configuration but it covers a 3 ph...

I didn't have any problems when I ordered from them. That sucks! Were you not able to figure out where it was delivered?  I do like the CI practice exams. They are much easier than the actual exam but the repetition is good (at least for me) for drilling some formulas into your head...

Thanks for the feedback @justin-hawaii

Just wondering if you or anybody else on this board ended up taking Justin's class and if so how was it?

Oh yeah! That's right! Thanks for setting me straight :)   It's time to get in gear!

As long as you know what's going on and can read it that's all that matters. So how do you like that book? I don't have it and just looked it up. I don't think I want to shell out another $200. Do you have the Wildi book? If so does it compare?

I have mixed feelings on that book as well. It does contain a lot of information in a fairly condensed format but I feel that EngPro Guide gives me more bang for my buck. It's been a while since I've looked at it but if I recall correctly I found the motor section in the Graffeo very helpful. I...

It really is hard! They are so fun at this age. I could do without the attitude but almost everything else is so much fun. 

But if I BUY a calendar that gives me an excuse to go to Target. ☺️

Yeah he's structural. He definitely understands. After I take this test he is going to work towards the same goal. We have an almost 5 year old at home so we agreed that only one person should be studying at a time. It was pretty ruff on her the last time I took this test. For several weeks...

So what should I do? My husband doesn't keep a calendar.  :laugh:  JK, maybe I should buy a family calendar and put it in the kitchen or in the dining room. He asked me last night what my game plan was for studying and I told him I didn't have one. The rest of the week is dedicated to coming up...

Thanks for the info. I'm getting all my references out tonight and I was planning on spending a few days going through everything and coming up with a game plan. Maybe I should spend a little more time with my reference materials before I jump into problems.
