 I passed the EIT with just 1.5 months of 2-3 hour a day study !! January 15, 2007

I bought this book rater late around mid-September 2006 and I was supposed to take the October 2006 exam. I was rather doubtful about passing the exam. I studied from this book and this book alone for 1.5 months. Studied everyday regularly for about 2-3 hours. Then I took the exam. Even though I am a Civil-Environmental Engineer, I took the General EIT. I got my results in the 1st week of Jaunary and I am thrilled to report that I have passed the EIT. I can be confident enough to say that even if you guys study this book....say everyday for 2-3 hours regularly, it is sufficient to pass the EIT based on a 1 to 1.5 month study duration. So, its never too late. The level of problems in this book is tougher that those you will encounter in the actual EIT. Hence, you will find the actual EIT bit easier. I will suggest concentrate on the Math section very very well. Master the Math, and you are more likely to pass than anything else.
And dont forget my motto "STUDY SMART NOT HARD". Instead of trying to cover up all the syllabus, try to cover only about 70-80 percent of it. But what you study....dont just study it....master it!! The exam is all about passing, not scoring. So you want to make sure you study the high weightage topics first and master them. All you care about is passing the exam. So it doesnt matter much even if you leave out a few small topics that end up being about 20-30 percent of the syllabus. You can guess those questions and get about 25% of them right. While guessing, make sure that you mark all answers the same...i.e....mark all answers "A" or "B" or "C" or "D". You probability of getting more answers right increases that way.
Overall, awesome book, very detailed and very well written.
I would recommend it to anyone wants to pass the EIT in the first attempt itself.

Michael Lindeburg does an excellent job in preparing you for the FE. I was in school and still bought this book for reveiw. I am normal and forget some of the many things I've learned while in school, so this book was a good way to re-establish what I had forgotten and bring me up to speed on everything I would be tested on for the FE. Yes the problems in the book are more difficult than the actual test; however, when you are training to run a 10 mile race, do you practice by running 10 miles? No! you run 20, so on race day a 10 mile run is like a walk in the park. Buy this book, it does it's job. I passed the FE w/ 2 months of solid studying using only this book & the Civil prep book my Lindeburg.
Just remember the biggest portion of the General morning exam is math. Hit it hard. I would also recommend becomming familiar w/ the NCEES supplied reference handbook.
Good Luck!
This book was great! October 11, 2007

It had been almost two years since I graduated with my chemical engineering degree. I bought this book a few months before the April exam and read a chapter a day while taking the train to work. I kicked up my studying a week or so before the test date and then rocked the test! The practice questions and tests seemed so much harder than the actual test. I was shocked when I finished both test sessions with at least an hour to spare! Buy this book and prepare to rock!
Excellent Review Manual! October 26, 2008

I sat for the FE exam yesterday and had used this book as my study guide. I took the general afternoon section, which is covered by the FE Review Manual as well.
One of the major selling points for this book is "Pass the exam or get your money back." It's obvious now why they make that claim. The thoroughness of this study guide is such that there are no unexpected questions. As I sat moving through the sections of the actual FE exam, it felt exactly like moving through different chapters of this book. There were no surprises.
A hint to future FE test takers is to study the "Engineering Economics" section. This is one of the easiest sections to snag points. I overheard many people in the lobby talking about how stupid it was and how they didn't understand any of it. The FE review manual does a great job of explaining the interest rate tables in the Reference Manual (the manual you can use during the exam), and once you understand how to use them, the problems are a breeze.
One warning, when you use this book, it's very easy to reference the chapter you're working on to find an equation. Make an effort to only use the FE Reference Manual when doing practice problems (Order or download a copy of that as well. Make sure it's the most current edition). Once test day comes, you'll know it well and have no problem finding what you're looking for.
Good Luck!
If you want to pass, buy this book!!! December 17, 2008

I bought this book 2 months prior to taking my FE/EIT for the second time. The first time I used another review book by Rea and failed it miserably. I just got my results from the Fall 2008 exam today, and passed. With no doubt, I have this book to thank for my success. If you want to pass the test you need to buy and go through this entire book. I took the Electrical in the afternoon.
