I’m lowkey getting kind of scared.

I took both practice NCEES exams and got a 62 and 70, respectively (after doing studying in between). Half the questions I got wrong on the second exam were calculation or small mistakes that could have easily been prevented if I took a bit of time to check my work. The other half were basically “if I searched the handbook, I might’ve solved this.” Timing on both exams were not a problem, when it came to do harder problems, I felt comfortable spending time.

I noticeably did well on the big 5, except Electronics. Most of the software questions were also correct. I did struggle with comms and linear systems. I also didn’t do well in economics.

I’m just getting stressed since there’s this little voice in the back of my head envisioning the worst possible scenarios.

I’ve only got tomorrow to study. What are some last-minute tips? Some reassurance would also be appreciated!

Anyone know the music that plays when you fight a trainer in GDC? It’s so damn catchy with the electric guitar

Already, I’m kind of nervous. Most of the topics are recognizable, although I feel like the software side is gonna kill me. I have access to two practice exams, but I doubt they’ll be sufficient preparation.

I guess all I’m asking with this post is study tips, additional (preferably free) resources, and most of all, reassurance. I’m entering my senior year of college, and some topics feel vague. I feel like most topics are “if I thought for a little bit of time, I could figure it out,” but every second counts. There are also a few topics I have never even learned (probability and statistics, control systems, portions of some software sections, and economics). I do feel more confident on some of the larger sections like power systems, circuit analysis, and digital systems (lucky that I literally just finished a class last semester about this one), might need refreshers though.

I’m just nervous.
