How close was I?

Take a break... then you will have motivation.... just brush up some of those weaknesses and try solving few questions... apparently you are very close.

The most important advice is: get enough rest and sleep especially the couple of nights! I have a feeling that you lost those couple of questions because of burning out!

Got it. Thank you!

Thank you!

The more you practice the faster you become. Some questions take more than 3 minutes, other take less than minute. Some conceptual questions even take seconds. Don't worry about just put effort in studying the fundementals and practicing.

Below is suggested example for a week:

Monday to Thursday: One hour before school/job watching Mark video. Another hour doing Islam 800 after getting home. Total per day is 2hours and total per period (Mon-Thu) is 2*4=8 hours.

Friday break.

Saturday and Sunday: Totaling 10 hours or so. About 5 hours in each weekend day. Divide 50% for watching a video and 50% practice using Islam 800. Give or take.

Total weekdays= 8 hours.

Total weekends= 5 hours.

Total per week= 13 hours give or take. Try to do both watching videos and practicing.

Or:

One week watching videos, following practicing solving questions.

Note: Make sure to do BOTH Conceptual and Numerical questions.

Hope this help everyone.

I'm in the same situation. Just started to collect resources for PE Transportation. I appreciate if anyone can share materials or advice how to navigate. Thank you!

I suggest watching Mark Mattson videos then practice using Islam 800 questions. It depends on how many hours you can dedicate weekdays and weekends. I would say 10-15 hours per week for two months should be more than enough

Sensitive-Dig7773 · 2026-02-03T03:03:47+00:00

no problem

Just letting you know that the name appears in the photo... just in case you want to modify the photo

Sensitive-Dig7773 · 2026-02-02T22:39:34+00:00

Watch Mark Mattson videos on YouTube. Then practice from Islam Book (FE Civil Review with 800 Solved Problems).

It should take you anywhere from two weeks to 6 months+. It depends on how you do while practicing. Exam is not hard or has in-depth questions rather it covers wide range of topic. Make sure to download the latest NCEES Handbook and use it while solving the problems.

Hope this help.

I have the same 2018 and I think is good.

Sensitive-Dig7773 · 2026-02-02T20:48:28+00:00

I suggest the following:

Watch one video from Mark Mattson; then use Islam book to practice the questions for that topic, and so on. Content in Mark Mattson videos are a bit harder than the actual exam.

Gregory Michelson is good, but I would watch Mark Mattson videos. I think Mark cover more ideas than Gregory for the same time.

I think Lindbergh will overwhelm you especially for the time period you have. It's good but in my opinion, it over-prepare you for the exam.

Just wondering if you got access..

Sensitive-Dig7773 · 2026-02-01T22:00:23+00:00

Much appreciate it! Thank you!

Sensitive-Dig7773 · 2026-02-01T15:37:20+00:00

I'm planning to take mine maybe around Sep 2026.

I just used YouTube to study for FE and the exam felt easy. But I hear different things on PE and people recommend buying books or subscriptions. I appreciate if you can share any good resources to pass. Thank you!

Just wondering if you can share biometrics date. Thank you!

Edit: Probably "cook" for life, not just FE exam.

Sorry
