想請教Warren前輩...
你FE有否跳過一些內容
比方說我不打算唸biology chemistry and electricity
你有全唸嗎(assume you used FE Rapid Review by ppi2pass)

我現在正在唸博士(CM), 準備FE on and off也快一年了.下決心肯定要參加明年四月考試
可否提供準備經驗?
*和前輩一樣,台灣三考都過,所以土木結構知識應和您相近.可否基此提供考試策略建議.說實在的,我已進入寫論文階段,實在不再想花太多時間在這個考試上

很高興andychiou2007也進來這邊一起討論.....又多認識一個衝出來的土木人真是令人雀躍......

FE不用太在意, 一個禮拜的時間準備已經綽綽有餘, 記得去ebay或是跟朋友拿到一本有關

Fundamental engineering exam的參考書囉....

記得學校內就可以考了!!

祝學業順利 & 加油囉~

沒錯沒錯 Warren大說得沒錯 唸一週就穩過啦
以大家在台灣身經百戰的程度來說
一點都不用擔心
因為考FE已經是陳年往事
幾乎沒啥印象
不能給您很詳細的建議
不過我會替你「加持」的啦！
加油加油

印象中好像不是每個單元都很用心去準備
像化學好像就沒啥看
應考時的程度就是會平衡化學式而已啦.....哈哈
像電學....好像只會 V/I = R 就去考啦！

反正會過就好 不一定要滿分
安啦！

Thanks to all for the inputs!

Received an E-mail from NCEES this morning. The attached PDF file says "Pass" for Fundamental of Engineering.

I took the exam in Seattle Center (where you can see the Space Needle) on April 25th. The room were pacted by almost 600 people. Then brought my kids to the Woodland Zoo on the next day. Too bad that the Mariner was out of town for visit games during that weekend.

Unlike other posters, I did prepare for this exam for a very long time (from the time I got the FE Rapid Review/designated calculator up to the day I took the test, the duration totals one and a half year). Of course, I prepared for this part time (maybe two hours a day and more hours during weekend) and completely stopped when research work load increased.

With a paper published in a journal last month and passing this exam, I am slowly making progress. If anyone would ask me how to prepare FE in the future, esepacially when being out of school for a very long time, I would give the advice different than other posters did: read the FE Rapid Review and cover as many topics as you can (I would say at least 85%), practice all the questions in that book with the consultation with NCEES supplied reference. Most importantly, do not try to memorize unfamiliar equations. *, you should be very confident in knowing which equations/knowledge should be used for solving given questions and in which parts of the NCEES supplied reference you can locate them. Having said that, for fomula/equation you are already very familiar with, do memorize them and use them whenever you are practicing solving questions; this would help you speed up solving certain problems on the exam day so that you can allocate more time on other questions requiring more thinking or flipping through the NCEES reference.
