EIT Exam Afternoon Session Question 3

[Martinelli21]

For the EIT Exam afternoon session, should I take the general test or discipline specific (EE)?

I'm an EE who has been out of school for 5 years. I'm taking the EIT in April. I've been studying using the Exam review book by Lindeburg. I am thinking that the general test in the afternoon would be better since most topics are covered in the review book. Has anyone used that book? Are the afternoon session questions similar to what is in the book?

What are the questions like in the afternoon session? Any help or information about each session is appreciated.

I used the Lundburg books for both the EIT and PE exams. Read 'em and work the problems from cover to cover.

I took the EIT last semester and, in the afternoon, took the general test as an EE. I found the morning section to be very easy (I got done in 1.5 hours out of 4 hours) and the afternoon to be extremely difficult (got out with not much time to spare). I recommend taking the specific exam if you are good at the control systems/info systems side of EE, otherwise spend a lot of time working the more difficult general problems. Good luck.

I would recommend the discipline specific (EE) test (that's what I did). Your next step is the PE test - so keep your focus on the EE stuff.
