Overall

Bought in conjunction with the Lindeburg Practice Problems and the TI-36X Pro calculator. Passed test my first attempt, would highly recommend. I took the NCEES practice exam from the official FE website and made a 60 on it but still passed thanks to this review guide. I took every "summary diagnostic exam" the two days before the test, really helped. The only sections I didn't feel prepared for was circuits and dynamics, however, I did not take either course in college so that plays a big part. (Posted on 12/11/2015)

The best. Review by Amazon.com Customer

Overall

I am a huge fan of the Professional Publications, Inc. (PPI) series of manuals and this is no exception. It’s worth the price tag because if you amortize it out over the length of your CAREER it’s probably one of the best investments you’ll ever make. These guides are thorough and tell you exactly the right amount of information you need for any given topic; need to brush up on Power Cycles and Entropy in a few hours? This will help you with just enough math.

The book is divided into 14 Topics, covering everything from Dynamics to Ethics and Professional Practice. You will have to purchase the practice manual seperately — but it will be worth it. (Posted on 5/7/2015)

Methodical, excellent quizzes & examples, but badly bound Review by Amazon.com Customer

Overall

ISBN 159126443X (FE Other Disciplines Review Manual, 1st ed.) is a quite comprehensive and methodical step-by-step guide addressing all the aspects through 14 mini exams, one per each covered areas of knowledge, as chemistry, dynamics, statics, etc. with the content full of mathematical formulas, schematics, diagrams, tables, etc. on high graphical level in black, white and blue. 14 separate areas are thoroughly covered to sufficiently review the preparation to FE exam.

Its 656 pages of a larger than the standard size for the series are clearly divided into 14 parts and 48 chapters. Each diagnostic exam on several pages is followed by explanatory summary with practice quizzes called examples. The sub-chapters are clearly divided into paragraphs in a graphically appealing form. The sub-chapter titles and subtitles are boldfaced in blue and their content often highlighted also in blue. This graphically enhanced structure allows to easier grasp the pages at 1st glance. After the initial reading, the emphasized parts can be skimmed through just for warming up.

The front pastedown (endpaper) contains an access code to the Web interactive version of the book with updates to more practice online on the companion website. Approx. 79 pages of the book incl. index are shown by the Amazon.com's "LOOK INSIDE!" function. What cannot be seen is that the book is well printed on excellent paper, and the flimsy soft covers, which are unfortunately typical for the series, are prone to creasing. However, it could be expect that a way over $200 book is hardbound to preserve its value over a longer period. (Posted on 5/7/2015)
