EIT Exam 1

[Eswar787]

Can anyone suggest me the best EIT exam guide?

Lindeburg was great for me. If you can find a DVD on Ebay that is produced by UT-Austin that helped me out a lot.

the best would be attending a review at your local university.

What?!?!
I thought it was requisite to not study and go into the test all hungover

Are you a student? You shouldn't need a special guide, the reference book that is provided with the exam has all you need, and you aren't even allowed to bring other books to the exam anyhow.

If there is a certain area you feel especially weak in, I'd just study that area.

The review I attended at my University back in the Dark Ages helped a lot. If nothing else, it gave me an outline to build from.

Agreed, attend a university lecture/review for the EIT test. I know it definitely helped me, especially in the other areas such as electrical and mechanical.

In addition, I thought the Lindeburg review manual (which my university required us to buy for the review course) was a good tool. No, it is not allowed to be brought into the test, but is a good review book.

Finally, not sure if the company still does this, but mine has "pass the test or your money back" printed all over the book.

Chedk out the NCEES website - they have some info I think

Lindeburg is good one.
suggestion don't study like you normally would do (unless you dont know about subject), but do problems and get yourself NCEES reference book, the one that you will have on the exam, and use it (ONLY that one)to solve all example problems in Lindeburg review manual.
Also start donig problems now, you will have only 4 hours on the first part and 120 problems to do. Its not much time.

I signed up for a review class - mostly because I didn't have to take any thermodynamics or electrical (other than Physics E & M) classes. Iwent to one class and hated it. I decided to give it another shot the next Saturday, but left at the first break.

My approach was to as many problems as possible. Lindeburg's book
was great. I didn't try learning what I didn't know. I just made sure that I got everything right that I was comfortable with. Buy the reference manual and learn where EVERYTHING is - there will be a
good number of problems that you don't even need to understand, just find the equation in the manual an plug and chug.

I got all the sample problems and stuff that NCEES offered at the time, went through them, studied up on stuff that wasn't too familiar to me (I kept most of my engineering textbooks.).

Thank you all for valuable suggestions.
