FE Exam
(OP)
Hey guys, I'm getting ready to take the FE exam. Has anyone here taken the new computer based test? If so, what (if any) prep books did you use? Based on customer reviews I'm reading for various books on amazon and whatnot, the "old" prep books don't go into enough detail because the new test is much more specific to your field of study.





RE: FE Exam
I have the "Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam" 12th edition on my desk right now coincidentally. I actually use it quite often, and in lieu of many college texts.
Good luck on the exam.
RE: FE Exam
I took the new computer based FE mechanical exam about a month ago and found the actual reference book (on screen) provided by NCEES very useful. For most of the problems, all the variables were given and all I had to do is plug in the values in the formula(ideal gas equation, reynold's number formula, etc) to find the answer. Just make sure you know where all the formulas are in that reference book provided on the screen. Also, you can use control F to find the specific formula. Try to take the practice exam provided by NCEES, which contain fifty problems. Goodluck!
