For all of the people who have taken the exam, which did you find more realistic: NCEES Sample Exam Morning Questions or Lindberg's Sample Exam?
The reason I ask is that after about a month of general review, I did the NCEES Sample Exam Questions yesterday, got 16/20 and was feeling good about where I'm at with 2+ months to go before the real exam.
Today I took the Lindberg's Morning Sample Exam today, giving myself 4 hours to complete it and scored 22/40. Obviously, I felt pretty bad about that. I'm trying to judge where I'm at right now.
Lindberg Exam:
Construction: 6/8 correct
Geotech: 2/6
Structural: 5/8 (with 2 lucky guesses in there)
Transportation: 4/8
WR/Env: 5/8
NCEES Sample Questions:
Construction: 2/4
Geotech: 4/4
Structural: 2/4
Transportation: 4/4
WR/Env: 4/4
It's obvious I need to work on the structural stuff as well as some geotech. I guess I'm having a hard time gauging where I'm at. Any thoughts?
I'm starting a review course tomorrow and since I've been studying the general stuff for the last 5 weeks, I'll be using it to reinforce what I have already reviewed which will help a lot I think.
For now, I'm going to dive head first into the WR/Env depth stuff.
Any other suggestions/advice/tips? Thanks in advance!
