No more and No less

I was kinda feeling bad as the examination day approaches after I discovered that the Lindeburg Book contains a lot more contents than this book does. Finally, I took the test with the exclusive aid of this book and could conclude that we really do not need to cover all the contents that Lindeburg book has, if our only purpose is to pass the exam. The test was not digressed from asking the questions regarding "fundamentals" of engineering, not the complicated application of it. In this context, this book will definetely help you to get a score barely enough to pass the exam. Good Luck!

Fundamentals of Engineering by Dilworth et al.

This is an excellent book for the Fundamentals of Engineeringmorning and afternoon session (General Engineering). It hasoutstanding coverage of electrical circuitry and higher math-particularly differential equations. The coverage of thermois comprehensive. There are many good problems in statics,dynamics and fluids engineering. This work should cover mostof the material you'll need for the FE examination. I wouldrecommend studying the areas you know first and then spendingthe remainder of the time on weak areas. If time permits,hammer away at all the areas in the weeks preceeding the exam.Some of the official publications of NCEES contain good problemsets which frequently appear on present and future exams.

Excellent for last minute study

This book is great. The organisation of this book is very simple to follow. I studied for only 1 entire day, and this was the day before the exam. I never felt that I needed more time for preparation. I recommend it as the perfect buy, if you have less time for preparation .. and even otherwise. Good Luck!

FE Examination Preparation

The Potter text is excellent. The author focuses on the subject matter of the exam from the outset. The coverage of higher math, statics, dynamics, materials science and chemistry is comprehensive. I would supplement this work with the Lindberg book and REA for thermodynamics. My own background is heavy industrial engineering-type courses with more higher math than most engineers are required to take. In addition, I have a good computer background which is helpful on this exam. There comes a point where examination testing technique enters into the picture. This book helps in that regard because there are hundreds of pertinent problems. Additionally, it helps to read the reference guide carefully because some questions are derived from that guide. Some of the operational amps questions can get tricky so I would study this area carefully. It is to your advantage to emphasize strength areas prior to the 2 month study period preceding this exam. Once you get into the study period, it is important to study exclusively weak areas. Near the end of the study session, it is helpful to hammer away at all of the subjects repeatedly until they become second nature.I just passedthe October 2001 rendition of the FE Examination-General section.

Complete and Easy Review for the FE/EIT

This book is all you need. It is well written, easy to follow, and does not overload you with extra information. I had only two months to study and had been out of school for two years. This book is so well written, I picked up on everything I learned in college. It gives you step-by-step instructions on how to pass the test.
