What did it cost me to prepare for the FE exam?

Ten years out of school, I found the FE exam to be among the worst 8 hours of my life.� Profit by my example--don't wait so long.� Take it while you're in school or just graduated, whether you think you might need it or not.� You'll thank me later!

Buy the FE Review Manual!� Start studying 6 months in advance of the test to ensure you have enough time to pace yourself. read every chapter, work every problem.� Take at least 2 sample exams at least one week before the actual exam.

Here's what it COST me...�� It may be overboard, but that's what I needed to prepare.
