Before you begin your EIT exam prep, make a study plan. This plan will include all of your study material, tools, and resources. Your study plan should include:
- FE specifications
- Reference Handbook
- Approved calculator
- Notebooks & Cheat Sheets
- FE Practice Exams
- Prep Course
Once you gather these tools, you can then determine how many hours you have available to study. The number of hours will depend on the study resources; books and self-study from YouTube can take more hours, while online courses provide you with everything you need and speed up the process. You must also consider work, community, family time, recharge, and sleep into your hours available for studying.
Using study material that has you always searching online for definitions, not allowing you enough time to understand concepts, or forcing you into their schedule is not helping you pass the FE. If you want to know if your FE resources are helping you pass faster, check out this 8-question checklist.
Part of your study plan should also include your study spot. Create an organized, quiet, and private area for you to study. It should be free of distractions and only be used for your studying. Some students have used libraries or coffee shops as part of their study spots, which is ok too! Find what works for you and keep your study time uninterrupted.
