So first off I thought I did terrible and was sweating so hard when I left the test. See link for conversation on that.

My history,

I have been an electrician for the last 10 years(only slightly helpful).

I started school part time but only 1.5 years through my bachelors(done with math/chemistry/physics but not much else) .

I have always been good cramming for tests, but have terrible time management skills

My study routine for the last 5 months -

So I started reviewing everything I could on these reddit posts (including some PE Power prep).

I started with https://electricalfereview.com - FREE

I bought a NCEES reference manual and practice exam - Don't need to buy the manual

I then added in a 6 month https://www.prepfe.com

I still didn't feel entirely comfortable plus like mentioned terrible time management

I then reviewed programs and in my budget https://www.studyforfe.com seemed like the best option for me plus it seemed very close to the practice test. So I bought the 6 month Live program

I primarily focused on Wasim Asghar's course and made a plan to do 2 hours a day after work(Mon to Thurs) and 6 to 8 hours for 2 days(Fri and Sat) and took Sunday off.

I completed the entire course after about 2-3 months, I reviewed but was completely lost on/unable to do communications and root locus (part of Control Systems) everything else I felt confident on.

I bought Wasim's 3rd edition study guide. I went through the entire book reviewed what I missed.

I used Chat GPT to review some things I was bad at - FREE

I took tests from Wasim, PrepFE and the NCEES exam. I was between 60%(PrepFE) to 75-80%(NCEES and Wasim)

See above for test feelings

Recommendations

1 - LEARN THE MANUAL - also you can't use a find next button so try to remember general areas/page numbers

2 - Refresh a little Chem and Material properties (I sweated a bit here)

3 - I think PrepFE is probably a better judge of where you are at.

Thank you Reddit for all your help though this,

If you have questions I will try to provide as much information as I can
