5.0 out of 5 stars Best Test Prep for FE, December 27, 2003

By	Scott Dunham (chicago, il) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: FE Review Manual: Rapid Preparation for the General Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (Paperback)

I purchased a lot of books to study for the FE (I was out of school 13 years, so the stuff wasn't exactly fresh in my mind), but I finally ended up using this book exclusively. It is really all you need. The review is excellent. I wish there were more practice problems, but the problems provided are sufficient to test your grasp of the material. One of the truly useful things about this book is the fact that it follows the sequence of the NCEES reference book handed out on exam day (absolutely make sure you get a copy of this). Knowing where to find things QUICKLY is one of the true keys to passing the exam. If you follow Lindeburg's "recipe", you will be familiar with the exam reference book, and you will pass the exam. I passed, and I thought my chances were hopeless. I was out of school a while, so I put in about 4-5 hours per chapter, but I suspect many could do the review in much less time. I think the book suggests an hour per chapter, which, in my case, was unrealistic. The point is, some books don't give you enough in the way of review, so you end up staring at the page and reverse-working the problems in order to try to grasp the concepts. This book provides the review material you need, and assumes little in the way of background knowledge. I recommend it without hesitation or reservation.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Make It Better..., April 23, 2006

By	Gary A. Crowell Sr. "P.E., CID+, KE7FIZ" (Boise, ID) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: FE Review Manual: Rapid Preparation for the General Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (Paperback)

Sure, 5 stars like everyone else says: it does the job. But its a pain to use, like studying from a phone book. If you're really going to spend the hours needed with this book, make your life easier: Take it to Kinkos, have them shear off the binding, and comb bind it into smaller sections. Seven smaller sections worked for me; mark the spots at chapter boundaries so Kinkos knows where to split it up. Now you've got nice lay-flat, easy-to-carry sections that are 100% easier to work from. It'll cost about $30, but well worth it. You'll be the envy of your study group. 30 years out of school I thought that maybe the geezers should get a handicap, but the test went much better than I'd anticipated; no prayer required.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only FE Prep book you need..., April 30, 2001

By	Flipper (Sunnyside, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: FE Review Manual: Rapid Preparation for the General Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (Paperback)

Having been out of school for over ten years at the time I registered for the FE exam, I knew I needed a Preparation Manual that would help me "re-learn" all of those long forgotten formulas and methods. My current lifestyle also dictated that my study be done quickly and with a minimun investment of my personal time (while still ensuring that I pass). This manual did it! This was all I needed to take the test. It is highly recommended.
