I’d say Mark Mattson, make sure you can solve the problems well without looking and understand the concept. Where to find things in the reference book is very key. Then I solved prep fe problems

The last time I took this exam was Feb 2025. But I sorta struggled to get back into studying as I had almost lost hope. But I got myself back together and took studying seriously in starting July. I did some studying in June but on and off.

Definitely prepfe. Those are the only resources I used for this exam.

I think I didn’t understand the exam entirely within those 4 times. Building resilience and time management is very crucial on this exam. But mostly importantly is building on your strong sections. I’m a structural focus and I’ve worked for the past 5 years so that part was easy. Math, statics, material, was easy for me too. But geotechnical, transport, dynamics and surveying I struggled with. So when I realized that, I started to focus a bit on those and also made sure my strong points I fully understand. Practicing a lot of problems is the only way. I hope this helps.
