First Class Applied Mechanics
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2016 3:33 am
Hello,
I am studying for the First Class Applied Mechanics exam. I spent a lot of time going through the Reeds book, chapter by chapter and then going through all the Second class questions, and went through some of the First Class questions before getting frustrated/intimidated/mad at myself.
So as a way to test my skills, I decided to attempt the First class questions supplied in the Diesel Duck Library.
This only made me much more frustrated/intimidated/mad at myself!!
I understand that there is more than one way to answer these questions, but a lot of time I feel as though studying the Reeds book hasn't provided the means to solve some of these questions.
Martin has mentioned that the exam is heavily based on the Reeds book. So what I'm wondering is: Are the questions in the library worth spending time to learn these other methods?
Can anyone provide some insight wether the questions in the library are close to what I should expect to find on the TC exam? Or should I stick to reeds and not get distracted to the library questions?
I feel overwhelmed every time I sit down to study and feel like I am no closer to being ready to write this exam than I was a few months ago.
I can't imagine I am the only that had these questions when studying for this exam and hoping for someone who has written the exam already could provide some insight for a good studying strategy.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
