Just this week, I randomly came across an article about our brain’s working memory. The gist of this research is this: our brains are wired to learn efficiently by holding onto only a few pieces of information at a time. If we try to hold onto too much information at once, our brains get confused…
The FE exam is a significant milestone for aspiring engineers, and success requires dedication, hard work, and perhaps most importantly, self-accountability. Let’s explore the critical role of self-accountability as you continue on this FE exam preparation journey. Why is Self-Accountability So Important? Many students are no longer in a structured academic environment with professors and…
I just finished a phone call with a student who had failed her exam three times. She reached out to ask about the DH course. She had previously taken a well-known course, but felt it didn’t cover the right types of problems that appeared on her exam. In addition, she used a practice portal with…
What is a leverage point? In terms of FE exam prep, leverage points are areas of focus that can create significant changes. We want to know where they are and how to use them effectively. Here’s the strange thing: students intuitively know what their leverage points are — time to study, mental and physical energy,…
Those notorious silly mistakes! As you practice FE exam problems, you will certainly make a lot of mistakes. Do you notice when you’re making mistakes? Particularly those so-called “silly mistakes”? What do you do about them? Students often approach mistakes by recognizing the mistake and examining the solution to the practice problem. But I’m here…
You’ve probably seen the long list of FE Exam specifications! If not, look at the list here. Imagine you have to study 14 topics. Each topic contains subtopics that kind of help us narrow things down to a specific knowledge area. Even though we can narrow things down a bit, it’s still overwhelming! As a…
How can you develop your abilities to solve any FE exam problem? People often attribute problem-solving skills to those who are “talented,” “gifted,” or “smart.” Most non-engineers dread the term. Because they are falsely led to believe problem-solving is some magical skill only a few “innately” have. We need to dispel this myth, as anyone…
Many students who fail their FE exam don’t necessarily fail because they did not put in enough study time. On the contrary, they studied really hard for months! But how could all this effort go to waste? There is a lot of confusion about how to learn the concepts, skills, and techniques needed to confidently…
You’re probably tired of hearing this. Or maybe not?! The FE exam is becoming more and more conceptual year after year. This means not only do we have to know how to solve problems by using a specific application or formula, but we will also need to conceptually understand the fundamental processes involved when it…
There will be a time in your FE prep when you’ll feel like you’re not motivated, you’re not making progress, and you’re not learning as fast as you used to before. Immediately, your reaction might involve doing MORE. Gathering more resources, watching more videos, looking for more motivation, and doing more and more and more……
