Editorial Reviews:

The FE Review Manual is designed to prepare you to pass the general FE exam even if you have very limited study time. You get an efficient review of all the current exam topics; diagnostic exams so you can see what areas you need to study; more than 1,150 practice problems (with solutions); a realistic simulation of the complete 8-hour exam; and free software to help reinforce what you've learned. Plus, the Review Manual is completely in sync (same terminology, formulas, topic order, etc.) with the NCEES handbook that is used during the exam. This combination is so effective that the publisher offers a unique "Pass or Don't Pay" Guarantee: pass the exam, or get a full refund for the book.

Please note, software is not included in the book, but you may request software by using the form inside the book. The software is free, but thereis a $4.95 shipping fee.

Summary: THIS will help you with your FE exam
Comment: When i ordered this product, I only had approximately 2 weeks to study, yes that was a bad choice, I was studying some other things, but felt that I need more depth in a lot of topics on FE Exam. So I ordered this book and crammed this book for 2 weeks. I learned so much from this book in 2 weeks than I ever did when studying for the FE exam for like 3 months. IT really shows great examples and covers almost everything on the FE exam. I would highly suggest this for anyone who wants to have a full depth study guide on the FE exam. You will learn a lot from this book even if you didn't really learn in your class =p!!!

Summary: Helped Study
Comment: I ordered this book to late. Make sure to order early and go through as many sections and test problems as possible. The problems are very simliar to what is on the test. Worth the money. I wont know until January 2009 whether I passed the FE or not.

Summary: Excellent Review Book
Comment: This book is a perfect review book. It covers everything you need to know for both the morning and afternoon General Engineering portions. If you cover all 55 chapters you will be well prepared. Don't wait until the last minute to buy this. I bought this 3 weeks before the exam and I spent a lot of long nights going through it just to finish reviewing-get it at least 1 1/2 months ahead.

Summary: Excellent Review Manual!
Comment: 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!

Summary: Not the best...
Comment: I purchased this book along with the Mechanical specialty study guide. I've only been out of college for 6 months, but I still found this book to be confusing and unhelpful. Its basically only good for practice problems because the review sections are WORTHLESS. Even in the practice problems throughout the book I found numerous typo's and mistakes in both the problems and the solutions. I haven't tried any other book to compare it to, but there has got to be something better...
