Ok, here is my story:On my first attempt, I took FE exam right after graduation in summer. I used NCEES FE Reference Handbook and the practice exam sold by NCEES for preparation. I skimmed over Reference Handbook while doing the practice exam. After two weeks, I showed up for the exam thinking I am going to pass. I was WRONG. I failed miserably. I calculated my raw score to be 48%. I would say 20% of the test was very similar to the practice exam. I found the exam to be easy (even though I failed) because I knew most of the materials (or at least I have seen them before), but I wasn't able to quickly point out the equations in Reference Handbook to get the answers. And sometimes, you know the materials, but because you haven't done or seen that particular question while in school, then you will get stuck on doing it or you will get wrong answer trying to solve it. After all, I had to guess a lot of the questions, and since I got stuck on some of the questions, then I ran out of time while still having to answer remaining 20 questions.After huge disappointment and some downtime, I realized that I needed to pass this test no matter how many attempts it took (got to be POSITIVE in life). I knew I needed to do a lot of questions to boost my exam taking speed and get myself familiar with as many questions as I could. So, I bought this book on feprep.com (eBook version). I started doing all the questions without looking at the solutions. Yes, you need to do it the hard way if you want to pass this exam. I only looked over solution after I was done fully attempting to solve a problem. It took me about good 40 days and 4 hours a day on average to do all the questions, relearn all the materials that were a bit dull, and review everything from beginning to end.
