Focusing on certain subjects

[newpatatty]

To start, I have never taken an engineering course nor have I taken a math course since 2004, but I'm planning on taking the fe exam in october in Michigan. I am an attorney and hoping to pass this test to make me eligible for the patent bar.

I have been studying for the past few weeks and I am very comfortable with the math, probability, and economics sections. I was looking for some advice on passing the exam by focusing on certain subjects. I started going through statics, dynamics, and mechanics this week, which were not easy to digest, but I recently read that they account for less than 10% of the exam. Is it worth focusing on fluids, thermo, and electricity, as it seems these subjects comprise a significant portion of the grading scale? Any advice would help.

Thanks in advance. Also, I'm studying approximately 30 hours a week and probably 60 hours in my final week.

Study every topic...it could be that by that 10% you dont pass the test.

You need to focus on every topic. Have you applied to NCEES yet? Have you seen the eligibility requirements?
