May lose my job in 2 mos if I don't pass. What do I do?
I am coming up on my 1 year mark at my job. I took the fe a few weeks ago and failed (by about 15 questions), so I've rescheduled for the end of July.
I didn't realize that/wasn't told that there was a 1 year expectation for passing the fe.
Knowing this had me freaking out. I have already been having panic attacks and other physical things going on because of this test.
I don't know that 8 weeks is enough time for me to pass this test. 15% is a big leap to make in that time.
Should I just start looking for another job? I don't know what to do. Maybe I'm just not cut out to be an engineer.
