I'm a foreign engineering graduate.I graduated from school in 2000.It was a very ardous task to go back and relearn everything I learned in engineering 14 years back.I started small steps one at a time.I started my review in May this year.I first started in Mathematics.Spent three months doing nothing but math (from algebra to differential equations).I excluded laplace transform & fourier analysis from my review.The last three months from August to October ,I studied Circuits,Power,Controls,Electronics,Communications and Computers.I bought two sample exams: NCEES FE Other Sample Exam and the FE Electrical & Computer Sample Exam.I did this for the mathematics,probabilities/statistics and the ethics portion of the exam.As for Circuits,Power,Controls,Electronics,Communications and Computers portion,I searched the internet for anything about FE exam and did almost anything I found there.I did all the electrical topics in Lindeburg Rapid preparation manual.I also bought Kaplan FE Electrical Preparation Manual.However I found that their sample problems are too hard and I had gut feelings that those kind of problems will not appear in the FE exam.I did some of their topics example problems though and i think it helped a little bit in my preparation.
I spent almost 4 hours a day on weekdays and at least 6 hours on weekends solving every problems that were in the books.
I spent a good deal of familiarizing the FE Reference manual to the point of almost knowing it by heart.
Every problem I worked on I always used the FE Reference manual.
Doing all the above , I did a also pray a lot to God to give me the necessary strength and knowledge to continue my review.Praying was the real thing that sustained me all those 6 months that I worked on my FE review.
In October 16,2014 , I took the FE CBT Electrical & Computer Exam.
Today,October 22,2014 I received an email from NCEES that I passed the FE Exam.
Praise and Glory to God.
