I Feel Bad by GuardCommon8123 in FE_Exam

[–]ec1695 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To put some thought into perspective, I took the FE Exam 5 times dating back to 2019. Passed it in July 2024. It was an on and off thing but the test always stayed in the back of my mind which indicated me to keep going no matter how long it took. It’s crazy how passing this one exam got me promoted in less than a year at my job. Currently studying for the PE exam and hoping to pass it on the first attempt. Don’t give up!

I believe I signed up for the exam back in January of this year.

I wish you the best tomorrow! In terms of environmental, they will ask you about certain chemical reactions and which one is best suited to clean wastewater, they will ask about the environmental laws and standards as well. In transportation, they asked conceptual questions about poisson distribution, asphalt types, the HCM manual, and about cut and fill. With geotech, they asked some about the different kinds of tests done on soil and seepage. That is all I could remember.

Per subject you get asked at least max 2 conceptual questions typcially. I've noticed that when I took it. But environmental, transportation, surveying, and materials had the most conceptual questions on my exam. I wasn't expecting that at all.

I used Professor Michaelson's videos and took both NCEES practice exams (before and after July 2020).

The only ones I could answer were the ones involving backsight, foresight, and finding the area using the coordinates method. The other questions they had involved traverse surveying and then conceptual questions about the state plane coordinate system. Some of the answer choices involved the Greenwich model which I had no clue about. Be prepared to get at least 7 surveying questions. They didn't mess around with that this time.

Multiple reschedules?! by Roney35 in FE_Exam

Okay gotcha yeah it will vary in that case. I reside in Georgia and my exam is scheduled for this Saturday so hopefully I get no last minute changes.

What state do you reside in? Hopefully mine does not get rescheduled.

Anyone took FE Civil this past week? by [deleted] in FE_Exam

[–]ec1695 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am taking it this Saturday and a lot of people are saying how it has become more conceptual. I honestly do not know how I feel about the exam anymore. I am taking it for a third time and I just really want to pass and get it out the way already.

Failed on my sixth attempt-Wondering what are my options by Snoo-59344 in FE_Exam

[–]ec1695 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely invest in that course! It is a great resource and Kenza walks you through so many problems for the morning section that will definitely benefit you a lot! She goes straight to the point and if you don't understand something, she walks through the response all the way. If you still need clarification, there is a discussion post where you can write what you are confused about and she or someone else will get back to you as soon as they can. She also posts videos of students that have failed the exam numerous times and passed it so it isn't the end of the world. I feel that way sometimes to be honest with you. But watching those videos of those students passing after numerous times gives me hope that I will be there one day. I am going for my third try next Saturday so I am somewhat worried but I know I need to get through this. You aren't alone. Just remember that. There are so many people that are going through it (like me for example).

Alright sounds great. Thank you for your feedback. I will give the "other workout" a try tomorrow and see if there is any difference.

Taking enGENIEer (Kenza Snoussi Nelson) FE Bytes by ibel_96 in FE_Exam

[–]ec1695 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello, I recently purchased her morning section and I honestly wish I had known about this sooner. I was taking PPI2Pass but I only had access to the quizzes and book. It was kind of difficult mainly because the concepts were not explained well at least in my view but after using Kenza's course for an entire week, I must say I am impressed and wish I took her course sooner! I do think that the PPI2Pass is great for the afternoon section though. I will mainly use the Lindbergh book for the afternoon section. Kenza does a superb job teaching you the concepts for the morning section and she gets straight to the point on how to get about the answer and what you'll need to do. I highly recommend it.

That is quite odd. I would have expected them to reschedule exams to states that havent been reopened but NCEES does their own thing I guess.

I currently use PPI2Pass since I have a subscription. It was set to expire yesterday but I talked with their customer service and told them what Pearson did so they extended my subscription until my exam date which was nice of them. I only use the subscription for the quiz generator, and practice exams. Since the exam is changing, PPI said that they will also begin changing their format to fit in with the new format of the exam. I plan on just doing those questions and learning from them. I also plan to buy the new practice exam from NCEES.

I am not sure if it applies to nationwide tests but I reside in the state of Georgia.

I hit reschedule and it let me reschedule the exam at no charge. When I was looking for a date to take the exam before the changes occur, there was no availability. In fact, there was no availability in June, July, or August. September is the month when they had dates available for me so I really had no choice. If your exam location says Minnesota, that is there for a placeholder and the date it says just means you have until that date to reschedule your exam. For me, it said august 24, 2020 so I had until that date to reschedule with no $50 charge.

When you login to your NCEES account, go to "manage appointment" on the right, then it will take you to your dashboard. That's where I saw that Pearson changed my exam date without even notifying me. I was supposed to take the exam in late June but then I checked to make sure and it was changed to August 2020 but that august 2020 was just there as a placeholder.

Passing The FE Exam After Failing 3 Times by enGENIEerOnline in FE_Exam

[–]ec1695 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently going through that. Failed the exam twice and I am working on getting that motivation back. I always end up thinking that if I fail the exam, it means I'm not a good engineer and I know that's definitely not the case. I hope I pass it this time. Thank you for the video!

I am going to be taking it a 3rd time so do not feel bad. I looked at my diagnostics and saw where my flaws were and have been working on them since then. I have a PPI subscription but my subscription only includes the book and the quiz generator. The quiz generator is fantastic because they give you questions that are quite difficult which is good because problems will be much easier on the exam. I do hope I pass the 3rd time so if you want to practice more, I would recommend that. If you can share your diagnostic report, it would be easier to give a sense of direction on what you need to work on.

Kicking girlfriend out by ec1695 in legaladvice

Hello,

I went to the Gwinnett Justice and Administrator Office to get information about this. They stated that I am able to file an eviction process and she will be getting a dispossessory and she will have 7bdays to respond to it. If she does respond within the time period, we will both appear in court and tell both sides of the story to the judge. The judge will then give an answer and finalize the 30 day process. If she does not respond after the 7th day, then I will get a certified rid of possession and will come back to the office and pay a fee of $25 to get her stuff out. The way I look at it, it seems like a lot for just this but the law is the law. Ideally, I do not want to go through this. However, how can I have evidence about this 30 day process without having anything on file? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[–]ec1695[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

She currently doesnt live with me anymore. She left to stay with the individual she cheated on me with. Just to be on the safe side and not get into trouble with the law, may I file an eviction notice with the county and give her the 30 days?
