This book gives you the power to pass the FE exam the first time. Designed to prepare you for the general FE exam in the least amount of time, this review manual provides you with a complete and comprehensive review of the topics covered on the FE exam.
I bought this book rater late around mid-September 2006 and I was supposed to take the October 2006 exam. I was rather doubtful about passing the exam. I studied from this book and this book alone for 1.5 months. Studied everyday regularly for about 2-3 hours. Then I took the exam. Even though I am a Civil-Environmental Engineer, I took the General EIT.
I got my results in the 1st week of Jaunary and I am thrilled to report that I have passed the EIT. I can be confident enough to say that even if you guys study this book.say everyday for 2-3 hours regularly, it is sufficient to pass the EIT based on a 1 to 1.5 month study duration. So, its never too late.
The level of problems in this book is tougher that those you will encounter in the actual EIT. Hence, you will find the actual EIT bit easier. I will suggest concentrate on the Math truyen cuoi hay nhat section very very well. Master the Math, and you are more likely to pass than anything else
Michael Lindeburg does an excellent job in preparing you for the FE. I was in school and still bought this book for reveiw. I am normal and forget some of the many things I've learned while in school, so this book was a good way to re-establish what I had forgotten and bring me up to speed on everything I would be tested on for the FE. Yes the problems in the book are more difficult than the actual test; however, when you are training to run a 10 mile race, do you practice by running 10 miles? No! you run 20, so on race day a 10 mile run is like a walk in the park.
This book is well-written and contains everything you'll need to know to get a high score for the FE Exam. There are a lot of practice problems that are more difficult than those encountered on the real test, so if you can't do all the problems, it shouldn't be a big deal when you take the real test. Some things you should be aware of: This will be the only text you need ONLY if you plan on taking the general exam in the morning and the general exam in the afternoon (as opposed to an exam more specific in your field, like chemical engineering).
The general exam in the afternoon is more difficult and covers different topics than the one in the morning (and pass rates are generally lower for people who take the afternoon general exam). Thus, if you plan on taking a module specific to your field in the afternoon, you'll need another FE review book specific to your field.
