FE Exam Mindset (And How to Get Things Done Today)
Today we touch on your FE Exam Mindset.
Research has shown us that the biggest barrier to successfully completing anything is just getting started.
It has been well documented that when individuals are presented with a large, complex project (studying for the FE Exam), they are more likely to simulate real productive work by focusing on small, mindless tasks to fill time.
Essentially, we tend to do anything but put some real focused effort in to what we really should be doing.
Does this Sound familiar?
Understanding our minds natural tendency to put off productive work – or let’s put it in more familiar terms – procrastinate, is the first step in really making progress in our own journey.
This is where your FE Exam Mindset comes into play.
Whenever we head off towards a goal, regardless of what it is, we need to establish a “Quick Win” to help build our morale and give us a sense of achievement and enhanced momentum towards our ultimate goal.
Instead of focusing on fully preparing for the FE Exam, start small by simply applying for the exam, or scheduling your FREE FE Strategy Call.
Whatever that “Quick Win” may be, just do it knowing that you will begin leveraging the natural benefits of incremental steps towards a larger goal.
This sense of achievement will aid in building your morale and give you enhanced momentum towards the ultimate goal of passing the FE Exam.
In today’s video, we are going to take a deep dive in to the depths of the natural mind and put in to place a impactful strategy to circumvent what it naturally wants to do.

How to get your FE Exam Mindset Right
If I may be so bold, I am curious, are you feeling stuck?
Often when I first start working with an engineer preparing for the FE Exam, I hear one (or many of these) statements:
- I’m not sure that you can fit it into your busy schedule
- I’m overwhelmed just thinking about it
- I’ve started in the past, but couldn’t follow through (for one reason or another)
- I’ve given up on passing the FE Exam altogether
- I feel like I’m too old to get it done
- I think it’ll be too much work to relearn all the material
- I feel burned out after years of trying without much to show for it
