[mech egr] - "failed second try fe exam"
The one with the higher ethics is my first attempt, and the other is my most recent. One year apart pretty much and the first one I was in senior year so studying was difficult. The second time was 3 weeks ago. It is a little overwhelming but I would like a little advice of where to begin studying for the third attempt. I studied since january and really tried to lock in but I still was having some burnout while studying for the second go around.
For the first attempt I studied for some months and was not very good at sticking to it. But I tried to stay with lindenburgs practice and read completely through it. I was not doing nearly enough problems on my own.
The second time I tried to be very focused when I could and set a schedule during weekdays for minimum of 1 hour or 20 problems using the prepfe quizzes. For a few weeks I became burnout again and tried multiples of the short focused 5 questions quizzes and others did the 75 ones. Once I got close to a few weeks away I did the practice exam I bought the year before, and made about a 50%. I worked through the answers for some time and then I did the part 1 and 2 interactive exams on my computer. Unfortunately those two exams are very similar, so that did not help as far as getting in new problems, but the difference in format helped with the active recall. At this point I was getting nervous and feeling down, but at the same time getting more confident. Over the study period my goal was to get to 1500 problems on prepfe. I only made it to 600. That probably would have shifted my results, bc there was still many low scores on the prep fe side. But I had already rescheduled it once two months in so I wanted to try to be confident in myself and see what I could do and if anything use it as a gauge to see where I am.
To test day #2, I was more comfortable this time, and tried to keep my nerves calm, because I have noticeable testing anxiety. I went over on my first half time but I did significantly better than the first time, but still getting caught up after a little while. Once test break came I felt pretty confident I could do it, and I go outside and get on the wrong elevator and end up a little confused, I am at the wrong parking lot somehow and decide to skip lunch and go back to the test. Once I get started I think this is where I was not being able to pull as much from what I studied that hindered me from passing.
I know I am close to passing, but I would like to make a more manageable set up for studying. Any suggestions if going for the next testing window is too soon? If not, how do i go about getting the right info down pat before taking it again, and also juggling work in. Studying after 5 is very difficult. Its not impossible but it is very taxing. I tried studying a few mornings at the very start, but I woke up late a few mornings and did not have time and just parted ways with that idea.
I could continue with prepfe and try to hit like 1500 or something, and use some gold mine files from here that I never got to use last time, or try lindenburg again, but its just so long.
Sorry for the long post, but if any advice would be helpful I would think all the details would be necessary lmao.
