Hey guys any pointers, links, resources to prepare would be super helpful.

TIA

I’m planning to take the FE Civil early next year and am starting to explore different study resources. I was suggested Civil-Ready, PrepFE, and Mark Mattson’s review videos, but I’m still trying to figure out which combination would be most useful.

Ideally, I’d like to find free practice questions with some way to track progress by topic, identify weak areas, and monitor accuracy over time. I know some platforms offer these features but may have limited free access.

For those preparing for or who have recently taken the FE Civil, what resources have you found useful? Are there any free tools that offer decent progress tracking, or is it better to combine a question bank with other study materials?

My exam is on Monday, October 19, and I have a question. Can we select an answer and flag the question to review later? If we run out of time and can't return to the flagged questions, will our previously selected answers still be accepted?

Hey everyone! Earlier this year I created a couple of conceptual question workbooks alongside some colleagues and listed them for you all to use. We recently went through and updated them to have some revised questions and switched out some material after hearing about what was in more recent exams. If you’re struggling with studying for conceptual questions, feel free to give a shout and I can give you the tips and quirks I know, and then help you with some study material that could push you to the passing point! Conceptual questions should be the last thing you study so don’t worry about this until you feel comfortable with the first half of the exam at least, but feel free to reach out if you’re looking for conceptual question study books!

What are your best calculator tips for the exam?

Hi, i just finished my exam (mechanical) today
Here are some notes that I think it is useful

1. Sleep, sleep and sleep, exam is long and exhausting you really need rest before
2. Bring Snacks and water, you will need them
3. Take the 25 mins break it is totally worth it
4. Manage your time because exam won’t do it for you. Basically you can consume your whole time in the first section with no notice whatsoever.
5. Exam is not difficult at all, just pay attention to units and wording. Most of it plug and chuck also straightforward conceptual questions

That’s it
I am just waiting for my results !
