ABSTRACT
According to data by the CA Board for Professional Engineers and Land
Surveyors, the recent passing rate of the EIT/FE exam has been less than
49%. At the same time, the number of candidates for the EIT exam has been
growing. It is a known fact that only a small percentage of candidates
are able to pass the exam on their first attempt. The majority of
candidates who pass this exam succeed only after several attempts. Many
candidates quit after their first or second attempt and never take the
exam again. Learn the secrets to passing the exam on your first attempt.
In this course, reasons for the low passing rate and strategies for ôsmart
studyingö are discussed. The course emphasizes key strategies for passing
the EIT exam; in particular, ways to answer a question without it being
solved. Utilizing this strategy can make a big difference during the exam.
Time management during the EIT exam is also a major component of the
course. Tools necessary for the candidates to take to the exam and how
to maximize their potential is another topic included in the course.
Finally, the available resources on the market are introduced to the
class.
