FE / EIT Review for future test takers

OK because I had trouble finding relevant information, Im going to start by helping those who will come across this in the future. I suggest you guys add as much as information as possible from your afternoon exam so they can see what's it's going to be like.

Recommended books :FE Review Manual: Rapid Preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam

This book is more than enough for the morning section and I would like add that the examples are actually harder in this book than those on the test. The engineering economics sections (9%) is really sneaky and you could lose a lot of points if the correct method isnt used for the formulas so make sure you pay attention. Chemistry seems to be the easiest subject and it spills over into material science so it's probably smart to learn these back to back. Math had two sections ( 19 + 8questions) and represents the biggest chunk among all sections so make sure you practice. Dont worry about the DE calculus or even basic calc as you use them throughout the 4 years but try to get the other sections learned well in advance such as the Probability/Statics and trigonometry which will kind of get rusty especially for the non-mechy/civil majors.

For the EE guys - We barely have any decent books out there for the EE afternoon section so I want to talk about that more. The circuits problems are quite basic and do not require a lot of calculations but they will test you on concepts. The circuit wont take more than a minute to calculate but you have to know what to use/notice such as he AC/DC sources and the Capacitors/inductors and how they behave. A number of questions just quizzes on things like P-n junctions /doping for the electronics section. You're also going to notice that although there are formulas in the back for the controls sections, rarely can you apply them because of the form they are given in. Make sure you have a thorough understand of laplace/fourier/z transforms because they indirectly come into play for many problems.

Most of the test is based on digital stuff as you can imagine in this day and age. Some students arent learned in digital systems so make sure you know the basics of state tables,diagrams and thinks like adders,flip-flops/ counters. You should be able to read gates and analyse the output and know how to start with the inputs because most of them have feedbacks. Electromagnetic waves is very easy and straightforward provided you know the theory behind transmission lines.

I will add more to this later once I think of other things. Feel free to ask something if you arent clear.
