FE Exam Prep: Standardized Test or Different Every Time?

AI Thread Summary
The FE exam is not a standardized test with questions drawn from a fixed bank; instead, each exam is uniquely created and may vary in content. This means that mock exams may not perfectly reflect the actual test experience. Test-takers can expect different versions of the exam, which can impact preparation strategies. The testing environment is typically structured and formal, similar to other standardized testing settings. Understanding these aspects can help candidates better prepare for the exam.

Im planning to take the FE exam and would like to get some info. For one, is this a standardized exam in that the questions are generally taken from the same bank (similar to the way FAA knowledge exams are) or is each FE exam individually created and used only once? I just want to get an idea of how closely mock exams will relate to the actual test. I have been out of school for some time and strategy will go a long way for me in addition to academic preparation. Thank youi for any info you can provide!

I have been to that site and familiar with the general information regarding the exam. I was hoping someone could give me some insight about what taking the test is actually like. Are there multiple versions of the test handed out to each student sitting? What is the testing environment like? etc.
 

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
