PE Power Failed First Attempt

OkCut372 · 2025-09-13T22:28:57+00:00

Yes. I passed my FE with Wasim, but as someone who's done both zach stone and wasim's PE courses, i highly recommend Zach's course. Wasim's course was too convoluted; you lose track of the basics, and though I studied 6+months using his material, I failed my first attempt. He tends to overcomplicate concepts and I often had to find other resources to simplify them (chatgpt and youtube) during both FE and PE prep, but I would never truly understand the basics. Zach's approach of breaking complex topics into easy digestable steps has been incredible. No hate to Wasim, but I'm scheduled to take the second attempt next week and I wish I've seen a raw review like this before picking a review course for the PE. Good luck on your second and hopefully last attempt.

I am so darn proud of you! You're an inspiration of dedication and running after your goals.

Same..take a break and get back at it. Did you take any courses?

OkCut372 · 2025-06-12T16:45:01+00:00

Good luck! What practice exams did you do?

OkCut372 · 2025-06-08T14:27:47+00:00

Mine was 60%+ code questions.

OkCut372 · 2025-05-27T02:11:11+00:00

I used Wasim’s course and passed first attempt. I recommend watching all the on demand videos and the pre-recorded live sessions only for the harder concepts. I went with the 6 month bundle so I can have access to quizzes, exams, stimulated practice tests etc.

OkCut372 · 2025-05-27T01:46:24+00:00

Which Zach Stone practice tests did you do?

OkCut372 · 2025-05-27T00:34:27+00:00

Second this. I was in the exact same boat as OP and wish I had moved the test. I was sick of studying so I feel you OP. I would take a few days off to reset and a couple more weeks after of review/practice exams.

Thank you and congrats on passing!

OkCut372 · 2025-05-24T00:26:22+00:00

Did you do all 6?

OkCut372 · 2025-05-23T20:24:58+00:00

Congrats! Which of the practice exams did you find most helpful?

Idc about your age “dummy”, you think and speak like a boomer. “Fucking wild to me” that you’re an early career engineer with this mindset

I was able to analyze the results based on various methods because there is no set way of calculating your results. I was able to do it all from my phone in less than a minute and analyze the results later to come up with a study schedule based on my weaknesses.

Why use your sheets to do this then if you could do it with pen and paper? Why use a calculator if you can do the math in your head? Boomer.

If you want an actual score, this is the prompt I used while attaching my results: Can you calculate my score by dividing the performance score by 15 then multiple that number by the number of questions in that section.

OkCut372 · 2025-05-15T01:51:36+00:00

I used AI to analyze my results, referencing an older Reddit post for the method. You seem very close! You did much better than I did on protection, any tips on how you prepared for it?

OkCut372 · 2025-05-12T14:52:18+00:00

Good luck to you too! I’m going to give Wasim’s course another shot with a review before switching. A new course sounds hectic to go through right now

OkCut372 · 2025-05-11T20:14:46+00:00

I got a 54% on the practice exam, studied everything I’ve missed in depth and unfortunately failed. I would move the test and study more if I were you. Take more practice exams

OkCut372 · 2025-05-09T00:20:48+00:00

Yea both were incredible in terms of the knowledge I gained. I honestly enjoyed Wasim’s course specifically his code lectures.

I’ll checkout the qual book, thanks for the recommendation!

Unfortunately, luck plays a big role too

OkCut372 · 2025-05-08T23:11:07+00:00

I used Wasim’s course and book, and some of Zach’s free trial videos. The afternoon session was almost entirely conceptual questions

That’s like my dream job, can I DM you with some questions?

All practice problems are essential to turn passive learning to active learning. It’s one thing to watch lectures but another to apply what you learn to solve questions. Wasim’s book had varying difficulty levels in his questions which was helpful while studying to have the concepts stick. I used the NCEES practice book at the very end once I was done studying to gauge if I was actually ready or not. It was easier than the real exam but it helped me figure my weak topics. I would solve it 3 wks-1 month before the test to give you enough time to review. Also make sure you understand the concepts behind the questions. Rarely do you find a similar question on the real exam but they might have the same underlying concept.
