Reddit reviews Study Guide for Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Electrical and Computer CBT Exam: Practice over 400 solved problems based on NCEES® FE CBT Specification Version 9.4

I took the exam less than a month ago and passed it. It's not hard enough to warrant purchasing two study books. It's enough to just buy one book that has practice problems and solutions. I used this book to study. Above all else, you need to be familiar with the FE handbook provided on the NCEES website (it's exactly what you'll be using in the test).

Yes, I was referring to the FE reference manual. I typed my previous comment on my phone and its always easier to type with a computer. But yea, the Lindberg manual does 10 problems at the beginning of each major section and then throughout the section they have questions that go over a specific lesson they tried to teach you, if that makes sense. I bought mine new, but I wish I bought it used, simply because it was a good review manual, but I learn more with practice problems.

The two books I used were:
https://www.amazon.com/Study-Fundamentals-Engineering-Electrical-Computer/dp/1517777925/ref=pd_sim_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=W33Q3N8S9A25YRK8RWGD

https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Engineering-Electrical-Computer-Specification/dp/1534759492/ref=pd_sim_14_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=W33Q3N8S9A25YRK8RWGD

It is the same author for both. Just as a warning, both of these books do have some errors, but they are easily caught. The first book has almost 400 problems, which may seem like overkill, but in my opinion, I liked it. For example, you get like 6 problems on two port theory. While on an exam you may see 1 or 0 of this problem, it was nice to see where you struggled. So if you went through all 400ish problems and noticed alot of incorrects in a particular section, you would know exactly what to review.

And yes, the problems are a bit harder than the exam. The FE exam is here to test if you know the fundamentals, not be an expert. My biggest piece of advice is this: Buy the TI-36X Pro, learn all its functions (can solve polynomials, do matrices, convert binary to hex, etc) and only use the fe handbook when working problems. I only say this because if you use the Lindberg review, he goes into great detail on how to transpose a matrix, but your calculator can do that for you. No sense in bogging down in all these "tricks" when the calculator can solve you loads of time.

Having been in a same situation and passing the EE FE recently, I would recommend getting the EE-Orientated review manual from PPI. As a supplement there are some review problem books on Amazon. The one I bought was geared towards the new computer based exam [Review Problems Book] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1517777925/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1y84xbND7S9P0).

The material you need to know is on the NCEES. There you ca find the break down of materials you need to know. Good luck!
