1000 Hour Exam Reviews |
| |
|
|
Which
skills do you have to develop in order to pass the exams |
| It is never
made clear exactly which skills you will gain. |
|
Our review
system will develop exactly these 2 critical skills:
1.
Problem-Solving speed: can you
solve a problem in 2.67 min for eit, 6 min for pe
2.
Problem-Recognition skills:can
you recognize 10,000 problem-types ? |
| |
|
|
How
exactly are these skills developed |
Conventional products say that they wont re-teach what you should have
learned
in school, they will show you tricks and tips and shortcuts to solve
problems.
If you get any other problem on the exam then you are in trouble.
|
|
We train you to
understand the fundamental principles and give you practice in applying
the principles.
There are very few fundamental principles in every engineering course,
if you can understand the principles, then you can handle virtually any
problem, with enough practice.
We dont teach tricks or shortcuts, our program is large enough to teach
you the fundamentals. |
| |
|
|
Where is all the work done |
Other products
say that most of your work must be done on your own
outside of the product.
Why even purchase the product if you will be on your own most of the
time. |
|
In our system,
all your work is done inside the system.
It is more than just lectures and problems, it is a structured
study-system where everything is organized and sequenced, so that you
can focus all your efforts in learning the material. |
| |
|
|
Do you need to pre-study before signing up |
| Other products
require you to do extensive pre-study on your own before registering. |
|
We teach
everything from the ground up; with our system you can start cold. The
system is primarily designed for users out of school many years. |
| |
|
|
quantity of instruction |
All
conventional exam products offer around 30 hours of instruction.
They seem to assume :
a perfect world in which users learned perfectly in
school
that users perfectly retained the material
you only need 1
or 2 hours per course-subject to master the material
Dont have time for a few weeks of instruction ?
There are also weekend
fly-in courses, which will " prepare you " for your exam.
Some providers claim that if you study only 15 minutes per day with
their product you will be fully prepared.
It always makes you wonder about who is more unrealistic:
the course-designers thinking that they can teach all the material in 30
hours or
the students thinking that they can learn all the material in 30 hours.
|
|
We know that
most students did not learn the material well in school, only cramming
for exams.
Most material is forgotten immediately after the final exams,
and very little is retained after graduation.
The half-life of
engineering knowledge is 2 years,
you lose 50% of your knowledge every 2
years.
After 10 years, it is all gone.
Preparing for the exams does not involve refreshing, you cant refresh
what is not there, instead a structured rebuilding of your knowledge is
necessary which involves re-learning most of the material.
Therefore we
designed 1000 hour programs which are designed to rebuild your knowledge
and skills.
Forgetting is a big problem in engineering, if you dont use it, you lose
it. |
| |
|
|
quality of instruction |
Conventional
products are built or taught by professors and consulting engineers.
We have experienced how horrible each one can teach, professors are mainly
researchers and consulting engineers are specialized in practical
designs.
Neither one are trained or licensed instructors, lacking formal
backgrounds in instructional design or pedagogy, and both use the
traditional lecturing method where you watch someone do problems.
They have a complete lack of understanding of how engineers prefer to
learn and about the learning and retention difficulties.
|
|
We develop our
training system by drawing from our large base of talents:
engineering subject matter expertise,
content development, instructional design, training methods development,
technical writing,
graphics design,
programming,
lms / cms development,
audio and visual production,
wbt / cbt training services,
web design and development and IT / Network
administration.
We dont use traditional lectures, if you want to make an engineer fall
asleep in 5 minutes, then give him a lecture or a textbook to read.
However, if you can make the engineer solve problems, they will be up
all night trying to get the answer on their own.
Engineers thrive on doing things on their own.
We have developed a problem-solving training method in which you do the
work, we give you a structure in which you can practice solving problems
by the thousands.
We give you an environment in which you will be surprised by your
productivity. |
| |
|
|
who is working the problems |
The teaching
method is instructor-centric:
the instructor does all the work, and the user is a passive observer |
|
Our
training-method is student-centric:
You do all the work, we only give you structure and guidance |
| If
you only watch someone work problems, it is a complete waste of time ! |
The
only thing that builds your exam-skills is if you do problems yourself ! |
| |
|
|
full-time commitment |
Conventional
products are delivered by individuals who do this as a
side-line.
They have regular day jobs and license exam prep is only a part-time
activity.
Your career and learning-needs must be taken seriously.
Conventional products use engineers who are highly skilled bridge
designers, power plant designers etc, who teach eitpe material a few
hours per year.
Their expertise is to be respected, and if you need to build a nuclear
power plant to power your house, go to those experts; if you need to
prepare for your professional exams, then seek out an organization who
does eitpe exam preparation only.
Ask any conventional eitpe instructor how many hours per year they teach
eitpe material, the answer will be around 10 hours. |
|
If you need
brain-surgery, do you go to a podiatrist who also does brain-surgery
part-time ?
No, you seek out the best brain surgeon who only performs brain surgery.
When you have highly specialized needs, you seek out highly skilled experts
who practice in the activity full-time.License exam
preparation is our engineering specialization.
We dont build bridges, we
build the people who build the bridges.
We combine engineering science, instructional design, pedagogy, learning
theories, algorithm development, internet, IT, web design, programming,
and many more disciplines into the most effective exam preparation
systems.
|
| |
|
|
course access |
Conventional
products require commuting to classes, this is a complete waste of your
study-time.
How many problems could you have solved during your commuting time ? |
|
Our system is
designed so that all your available study-time is used for the only
thing that matters: solving problems.
In our system you can study under any circumstances, you can work
online, offline or even without computer, the only hardware required are
pencil, paper and brains. |
| |
|
|
Integration |
Lectures are
distinct and separated from doing homework.
You listen to endless hours of instruction, then when you try to solve
problems you get stuck and you are on your own. |
|
Lectures and
doing homework are integrated.
We give you the algorithm, then give you problems to work, after each
problem, we discuss the problem.
The problems increase in difficulty so
your skills keep developing. |
| |
|
|
Private Tutoring |
How many
questions can you ask in a live class ?
There is no time for
interaction with the instructor, you can ask only
a few questions per
lecture with a few seconds of explanation.
When asking follow-up questions, the instructor and other students
become impatient and you become afraid to ask questions.
In these products, the course-developers are not accessible, you are on
your own. |
|
Our training
system includes private tutoring in 4 ways:
via email
via customized files
via
live phone
and via live web-conferencing.
You interact personally with the
course-developers, and you get individual attention. Follow-up questions
are not an issue. |
| |
|
|
practice exams and feedback on where you stand |
| |
|
In our system
you get feedback on your progress by taking exams in many levels:
mini exam within a whiteboard
formula drill at the end of every whiteboard
chapter exams at the end of every chapter
final exams at the end of every course-module
am and pm practice exams at the end of the program |
| |
|
|
study time |
With
conventional products, most of your study time is not spent in working
problems but in organizing material.
Users build a mountain of material:
class notes, study-guides, textbooks, videos, dvd's etc.
Ten years later, the user is still stuck in that mountain.
To sequence learning-units properly is very difficult and
time-consuming.
It disrupts your concentration every time you shift your focus from one
medium to the next.
Just trying to read from two books is difficult.
More than 50% of your study-time is wasted in organization your
material. |
|
The fundamental
law in the universe is: There is never time to study engineering.
This is true when you are in school where you are too busy to try to get
out of school and get a job, and on the job, there is even less time.
With family life, it usually takes major peace-negotiations and
concessions to be granted N hours of study-time.
We know this, and with our system, you study around 2 hours per day, and
you can break it up, a few minutes in the morning, during lunch hour,
etc.
Our system is designed so that you can study anywhere: online, offline,
or no computer |
| |
|
|
Study-logistics |
Live classes go
too fast, and overload you with too much material.
The reference manuals are formula books, they are not designed to study
from
Text-books are too detailed.
Dvd's and videos are too short, with only a few problems. |
|
With our
system, you only look at one spot: all the information is on your
screen.
The only other place where to shift your eyes, is your sheet of paper.
Our program is much more than lectures, it is a structured study-system,
where all your work is organized and sequenced, we did all the hard work
to organize everything, you focus all your efforts on learning the
material. |
| |
|
|
Program Structure |
| There is no
structure, learning does not proceed linearly or sequentially, but in a
haphazard, spaghetti-like manner, going from one medium to the next,
and you never know exactly what your weaknesses are until you take the
exam. |
|
in part 1 you
learn the course-modules
we teach you the algorithms, and you learn by hand-solving the problems
you check your progress by taking exams
you learn the equations by practicing formula drills |
| |
in part 2, you
take final exams in all the course-modules |
| |
in part 3, you
work the am and pm practice exams |
