Dear ASCE Community,
I took the FE Civil Exam twice-my first attempt on March 3, 2026, followed by a retake on July 22, 2026.
Unfortunately, my diagnostic scores have remained almost unchanged, and I am unsure how to adjust my preparation strategy for the next attempt.
So far, I have:
-
Practiced consistently and solved hundreds of problems
-
Used PrepFE, Islam 800, Iqbal, and School of PE materials
-
Watched Mark Mattson's FE Civil videos
-
Tutored first-time FE candidates for nearly a month
Despite the time and effort, I am struggling to identify what is holding me back.
I would sincerely appreciate advice from anyone who has faced a similar situation:
How did you improve after multiple attempts? Should I focus more on concepts, timed practice, the FE Reference Handbook, or exam-taking strategy?
I am sharing my diagnostic reports for context. Any honest feedback or study recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
in the FE Reference Handbook.
Thanks for reading my post.
Regards,
Zeeshan khan
