Passed my FE Civil 4th Try
The NCEES practice exam. I stopped treating it as a study tool and started treating it as a dress rehearsal. Full 6 hours, timed, one break, handbook only, no notes. I took it twice once early to find out where I actually stood, and once about ten days out. The first time was humbling. The second time I knew exactly which topics were still costing me points.
I used online course website to give me a lot of practice question and study as much as I can to expose myself more to it.
The other thing that finally clicked: learning to navigate the reference handbook fast. Knowing a formula exists is worthless if it takes you three minutes to find it.
If you’re on attempt two or three right now — it isn’t a verdict on whether you’re cut out for this. It usually just means the study method needs to change.
