I just wanted to share my story to help and inspire any of you trying to tame this beast. I graduated 4 years ago and unfortunately my school didn't emphasize how important it is to pass this exam so I never made it a priority. I failed it 3 times since I graduated. I took the testmasters review course and still failed. To pass this test is all about time and volume. Luckily testmasters allowed me a second attempt at the class, and this time I studied 154 hours. I went though everything multiple times and was amazed at how much I forgot from studying the subject my first time. when I took this test I found it to be much easier than everything I have been studying. I would def recommend testmasters if you're willing to put in the effort. I would also recommend the 30 minute eit strategy. There are 4 subjects I didn't want to waste brain power on.. Calc environmental and dynamics. You don't have to be a master of every subject to pass. You just have to work your butt off and you can and will pass. And believe me, when you see the Pass results on ncees it is the greatest feeling in the world and worth every ounce of hard work!
