I took this exam twice. The first time, I borrowed a friend's book a month before the exam, two years out of school. I did some of the problems, reviewed the material, and failed. I took the exam two years later, and followed the study program to the letter, while working a 12-hour day consulting job. I just got my passing letter in the mail. I can't stress this enough - Follow the program, and this book will work for you!

OK, in short, I just pass the exam from first shoot using primary this Book.

I am Elec. Engineer, graduate from 10 years back on Y2000. On academic wise I am rusty enough to fail in the first attamp with no dought .

About the book :
- Very organized in logical manner, I feel smooth when I am turning from one chapter to another in the same subject
- Chapters are smart: good SHORT & Focused on concept, a lot of excersis with descent difficulty makes you confident that you understand the concept, also coming with full detailed answers.
- Questions are harder than exam, IF you do all and correctly solve most of them and go through solution for your wrong answers, "Congratulation you passed FE "

So what I did exactly to pass ( I think if you follow me you will also pass from first shoot)
1- You should like to do study. Your are not torturing your self !! your doing something good for your brain & your future
2- You should be very realistic about TIME , some people can do it in 1-1.5 months 2-3 hr daily , but for me it took 6 months to study, BASED on :
i- when you graduate & how much you remember
ii- what actual time available per day & per weekend . For me after 3 + 8 hr = 11 hr of working 1 hr each day is my maximum
3- Simply you can't understand every thing, so you have to do real focusing on subject with :
i- Higher percentage of the exam ( Math 15%, engineering mechanics 10% , elec 9%, economics 8% etc.. ) I just master them and solve each & every problem with high focus at least for these 4 subjects
ii- What you really like so you can go through all details without pain. Simply I drop thermodynamics totally, material properties & little chemistry
4- I do one FULL revision in the last month
5- In the last week I just do exams
6- Purchase one exam from NCEES to really see if I am ready or not, it was for EE discipline ( 60 question general + 30 ee )

Good luck all

Only two days after I bought the book. The price dropped and I called amazon and the lady say they could do nothing about it.
