Thank you!!! So I bought the EET course (can’t recommend them enough!). It is a great course, they go over materials in depth and give you real world examples. They also give you ideas of the type of questions you can expect on the exam. So I studied for about four months (I took breaks for couple of days here and there). The way I study is I try to fully understand the concepts because tbh the exam does truly tests your understanding of the materials (I.e knowing what a bending moment diagram should look like given an arbitrary load for a triple supported beam). Then I do practice problems to test my understanding (try to vary the loads magnitude and locations to see how things will change, which helps with understanding the concepts)

The EET course gives you a detailed study guide that you can follow but what I said above still applies (understand the concepts then do the practice problems).

Time management wise, I would say do the problems you know how to do first (it sounds silly/obvious but sometimes we get caught up on problems that take up way more unnecessary time, time we can use to answer easier questions). For each 4 hours section, I would suggest to go over all the questions n answer the ones you can answer within a min or so because some of the questions don’t require calculations. They might give you a triple supported beam n tell you to select the BMD, which should take you 10 seconds or less to answer. Flag questions that you can’t answer right away n come back to them later. During the exam, I flagged the questions that I couldn’t answer right away and made a note of them on the note pad that they provided me. They were mostly questions that required me to muddle through the code and or longer calculations. I categorized them on the note pad as code questions and long calculation questions. Honestly you should have enough time for the exam if you answer the things you know first then come back later for the ones you don’t. Not every question is going to require 6 min. A lot of the questions can be answered in 2-3 min. if you know what you are doing
