We are officially 100 days out from the April '15 exam. Who feels like they are ready to take the exam?

I've been studying since August but still feel like I have a lot more studying to do. These next 3 months are going to be brutal. Crunch time!

 
Good job. How many hours do you estimate that you've put in so far?

Hope you can remember what you studied in August. I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday.

I haven't really been keeping track. I've had a lot of downtime at work the past few months so I've been studying there when I get the chance. Doing some mild reading on topics before bed at night and a couple hours of practice problems on the weekends. I'd estimate maybe in the 200-250 hour range. Work is starting to pick up though so I am going to have to dedicate more time at home, especially on the weekends.

Haha ain't that the truth. I had to get an early start on studying though because of limited time to crunch it all in 3 months leading up to the exam. Working full time, 21 month old at home, wife works full time and attends night school for masters.

Are you taking a review course? If so, I'd concentrate efforts on Depth studying before the course begins.

Not sure if this question is directed to me. If so, I am taking a review course. Starts in March. For the environmental exam there isn't a depth or breadth breakout. Wait at least I don't think there is ?

 
Can anyone suggest a good set of problems for the power exam? I have done the Complex Imaginary set but they seem far too easy. The NCEES Practice Exam seems ok but not overly in depth on anything.

I agree, I used the Spin-Up practice problems. Although I felt those were even easier than the Complex Imaginary problems. It was a good confidence builder to begin studying with.

If I were you, I'd do the CI exams a few times and the NCEES exam several times. I've heard the real exam is very similar difficulty level to the NCEES practice exam.

 
I started studying three weeks ago. Gradually increasing the amount of time I spend studying, it takes time to get into the habit of studying again. I have a lot of studying to do but hopefully I'll get there. Good luck to all.

 
ya..good luck to all. but don't get burn out by over studying...remember quality is better than quantity.. (wish i learned back in college)

 
2 months from today....

I feel confident and ready to take the exam. I've been scoring in the 80%+ range on all my practice exams. Another 2 months worth of practice problems should be enough preparation... I hope!

 
The more I study, the more I feel there is so much I don't know ......
