4 years out of undergrad but currently doing a masters, need a good gauge on what subjects to focus.

I feel like I've been out of school forever just started a masters starting with a math class during the summer and I ended up being able to pick up things quickly. Is there a good pre-test to take that can show me what subjects I need the most work on, maybe to get a baseline of where I'm at. so I can create a study plan.

Lindeburg's FE review book has diagnostic exams for each topic. While the general consensus is that the questions run harder than the actual exam, I think just reading the questions and taking a crack at it should give you a better idea of where you're at with each topic.

I just used one of the practice exams offered on the NCEES website. The practice exam seemed a bit more difficult than the actual exam, so I spent time understanding all the solutions and felt that prepared me well. I think the most important part of the test is being very familiar with the NCEES reference handbook so you can look up equations and information quickly
