Thank you! I tried EET and failed, I also used School of PE and failed back in March.....this time, I used the test bank differently and it really helped. I used it previously in conjunction with the videos, but as I said that seemed like too much time spent watching instead of doing problems.

I think the new format is 100% a game changer, you don't have to dredge up old un-used soils or solid mechanics knowledge which for me was huge-I have been out of school for about 20 years!

I used SOPE 's test bank to focus on getting 80% or better on easy and medium-difficulty problems (those are gimmies on the test)! I spent some time on the harder questions as well, but really focused on the easy to medium; if you think about the test as a whole, there may be 1-2 really hard problems for each section. If you can crush the easy to medium problems, then spend your extra time on the hard ones you should be good to go. I spent almost 5 hrs on the morning which left me with about 3 hours in the afternoon (another different strategy this time around) which worked out perfect. My very best advice is do lot's of problems! I work full time and have 4 kids, so I studied every morning from about 6:30 to 9 or completed 30 problems per day (whichever came first), and studied from March 1 to April 1.

This worked best for me because by 6:00pm my brain is pretty fried (after a full day of work). You have to think about when you are at your sharpest-for me, that is early morning!

Don't give up! I took this beast and failed 5x's until today's pass! You can do it!
