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!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
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 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
