THE Exam!!(continued)
While most of the material required to pass th FE exam is covered in the video reviews by Texas A & M University provided in the last post. However, I did not find material on probability and distribution functions inspite of repeated searches online. I didnot want to leave any topic in the general section without going through atleast the basics which I decided 2 days before the exam. Luckily, I found the material which was concise,clear and just enough for the FE exam in my university's website at http://ef.engr.utk.edu/ef402-2008-08/statistics/ which they keep changing each semester. I shall post it on my website soon.
Apart from these classes, Micheal Lindeburbg's EIT review manual was a helpful resource. I however believe that the review videos by TAMU are the requisite while all others are supplemental. I suggest general exam during morning and afternoon sessions if you are comfortable with math,economics (math again), probability and statistics (math again!!!) and physics- statics,dynamics, fluid and thermal dynamics.
My experience:
I made sure I was good with the basics of every topic.I was confident with Math,economics,statics, fluids. However, I realised that I got confused with some of the terms during the exam and was blank especially statics(moment of bending etc...)
The morning session was a cake walk. I had all the time in the world to think about my favorite TV serials (which I had been restraining from watching to study for the exam), current political situation, my home, how happy I would be to tell my parents how well I did the exam and blah blah blah..... I still had an hour to look for answers for about 10 questions I had no idea at all. So I read the reference manual meticulously in the hope of finding answers. I finally gave up deciding to prepare for the afternoon session with the left over time.
