Mechanical FE Sample Questions and Solutions Paperback – November 24, 2009

I highly recommend buying this book. It is a good way to study questions that are similar to what you will see on the FE. (I passed my exam).I would recommend this, the up-to-date NCEES Practice Exam, prepFE website, the lindburgh manuals, and "Mechanical Engineering FE Exam Preparation Example Problems and Solutions".I was 1 year out of school, and studied for 15 weeks for ~8-15 hours a week depending on how much trouble I had.Each week I focused only on completing one topic from the lindburgh manuals, and then used the rest of the material as "mock exams" during the week and few days leading up to the test.I felt very, very prepared.

This is a must-have for the FE Exam. The book provides questions and detailed solutions for a wide variety of topics. It gives you an accurate feel for timing and time management. I felt it prepared me very well for the afternoon Mechanical section, but it definitely missed a few big topics in the general morning session. In addition, some of the solutions are difficult to follow as some of the formulas do not line up exactly with the NCEES reference guide. Its a great tool, but do not solely rely on this resource.

I bought this book along with one other mechanical specific FE prep book. It was a reasonable indicator of the kinds of questions that would appear on the test, but it did a terrible job of preparing you for the HVAC questions and a mediocre job in some other sections as well. Since it is not too expensive it is probably worth getting. If it matters, I passed the FE.

Would expect a little more from the FE exam board, but questions were decent. There werent very many questions to go over, especially considering how much material there can be to review. I would recommend studying the formula book (can be found online more than needing to review questions if you remember the fundamentals... I took the exam in October and graduated in may.

I passed! Got a used version and saved a few bucks. I will continue passing this down the line :)Sample questions were very similar to the actual test questions.Also I highly recommend doing the online practice exam, just to get a feel for how the interface works.

Needed more questions in it. So can practice all the questions by timing. Have to provide equations used and how it was simplified.

FE EXAMINEES SHOULD GET ONE AND PRACTICE SOLVING THE EXAMPLES IN IT, THAT WILL HELP THEM PASSED THE FE EXAM

I bought this to study for the FE mechanical section of the FE. The morning section is the same for all the different FE subjects. The questions were very general and the solutions in the back of the book don't cover all aspects of the question. In addition, I do not think that the afternoon section of the book properly prepared me for the afternoon section (mechanical engineering) section of the FE test.
