standard deviation) - Estimation for a single mean (e.g., point, confidence intervals)
- Regression and curve fitting
3. Engineering Sciences 4-6 questions
- Applications of vector analysis (e.g., statics)
- Basic dynamics (e.g., friction, force, mass, acceleration, momentum)
- Work, energy, and power (as applied to particles or rigid bodies)
- Electricity and current and voltage laws (e.g., charge, energy, current,
voltage, power, Kirchhoff, Ohm)
In addition to helping you gain a better understanding of the material you need to know for your upcoming test, FE Exam prep classes can also help you develop better test-taking habits. For instance, your educator can spend some time showing you strategies for time-management that you can utilize to make sure you get everything done within the time limit on the day of your exam. If you've ever experienced test anxiety in the past, your instructor can also show you strategies for relaxation. This may help you stay calm and collected when you sit down to take your exam. When you're not feeling overwhelmed by your test anxiety, it will be easier to focus on the material you studied in the lead up to your test.
