The FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) Civil Exam consists of 110 questions. Managing your time effectively during the test is crucial to ensure that you have sufficient time to address each question. Here are some strategies for effective time management:
1. Understand the Format: Knowing that there are 110 questions over approximately 5 hours and 20 minutes of actual exam time, you have an average of about 3 minutes per question.
2. Pacing Strategy: Plan to spend no more than 2-3 minutes on each question in the first pass. This pace allows you to go through all the questions and answer the ones you're sure about, while identifying those that need more thought.
3. First Pass: Answer easier questions first. Skip questions that you find difficult or time-consuming and mark them for review.
4. Use the Review Feature: Most computer-based testing systems allow you to flag questions for review. Use this feature to quickly revisit the questions you skipped in the first round.
5. Manage Difficult Questions: Return to the more challenging questions after completing the easier ones. Now you can spend more time on these, as you've already secured marks from the questions you were confident about.
6. Keep an Eye on the Clock: Regularly check the time, but don't obsess over it. It's important to stay aware of how much time is left so you can adjust your pace accordingly.
7. Avoid Getting Stuck: If a question is too time-consuming or difficult, it’s better to make an educated guess than to spend too much time on it. Remember, there is no penalty for guessing.
8. Practice Timed Exams: Before the actual exam, practice with full-length timed practice exams. This will help you get used to the pace you need to maintain during the actual exam.
9. Familiarity with Reference Materials: Be well-acquainted with the FE Reference Handbook. Knowing where to quickly find information can save valuable time during the exam.
10. Relaxation Techniques: If you find yourself getting anxious and losing focus, take a few deep breaths to relax. Staying calm is key to maintaining a good pace.
Remember, the goal is to answer as many questions as correctly as possible within the allotted time. It's not just about speed, but also about efficient time use and maintaining the quality of your answers.
