Took it last week for Electrical. Passed it. So exited. I recommend buying the practice book from the NCEES. That really helped. Took the exam three weeks after graduating. Recommend taking it as soon as possible, since most material is still fresh in your brain.

@MikeOBrienMedia 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching, Juan!! I think it depends on what you buy. I bought a manual by the same company that made the practice problems I talked about and it had the wrong subjects. It was generalized for any engineering (i.e. It had a lot of chemistry and natural sciences that I didn't need to know). Also, I think the practice problems were especially good because they forced me to learn the formula sheet. Once you know where to find formulas, the test was a lot of plug-and-chug
