How to Pass an Engineering Exam

eish I really need the tips...

What's your engineering major??

hahahahahah Tip 5 is BS. Nice video

These tips are true, but honestly if you weren't already doing them you would already have failed any attempts at taking even engineering pre-req classes lols.

And to be honest speaking from experience here, if you don't know shit you wont pass. That's part of the trouble with engineering, you wont get anywhere without actually understanding pretty advanced concepts and performing it on exams. These tips do dampen any blows from the grading pen however.

I'm honestly so glad I chose my job in the air force, aerospace ground equipment. A lot of what was covered in my tech school is soo similar to mechanical engineering courses. ( my major) The part where he talked about circuits, I learned about that in technical school

Tip #5 was me everyday in circuits!! Pretending there was no difference between parallel and series :') good times

DISCLAIMER: If you live outside of the US, let's say Europe, (where i feel studies like this are taken a bit more seriously) tip number 3 is to keep in mind, tip 4 might help you a bit personally, for the rest... yeah, don't do exactly as he says.... it'll give you at most 0.5 points of your exam's total 200 points if your teacher is in a good mood

The units you guys use are so wack. Slug/s?

Some of this depends on the professor. Some professors can be cut throat and just grade based on your final answer. However, it's always better to have something written down vs nothing. Even if your answer is just fabricated assumptions that follow some type of logic, it at least gives the professor something to grade and they will most likely throw you a bone for trying. Getting some points on a question is better than a 0.

love your tips :D

These tips are legit. I've had to learn them on my own but if you want to save some heartache just do what this man says

The tip about notes is useful, but drawing a pretty picture in an engineering exam won't save you..

In my university we are given the equations we need to use in the problems but we are punished pretty hard for mistakes that mess with the answer

thanks for these tips! what movie did you use for those short clips?

My engineering professor last year would give partial credit if the process you used was more or less correct even if the answer was wrong.

except when everything is multiple choice...

And as a physics major I just derive the book and "cheat"

These strategies will not work in Indian universities or collages

Why on my country there is only right and wrong? Its either pass or fail. Im asian.

Great advice, especially about assumptions.

Do any of these tricks on my exam and i would carve a big fat zero on your paper so fast your head would spin.

Another tip is trying to bait your teacher with a question. I've asked questions on exams so that my teacher thinks I have the answer at the tip of my tongue so he bumps me in the right direction when in reality I had no idea what I was doing.

try that in a level physics exam. when u get a U* shout at the genius who made this video

for civil all you need to know is sum of all forces add to zero lmao (i do mecha xD)

Gess which class im sitting in right now... its ELA, its ELA (sigh)

Except for the first equation, everything looked like it was from physics. Add physics to the title please. Luckily for me and my physics teacher (High school physics) let me write down all of the formulas on a notecard and she let us use them on the test. Of course, I rarely had to use it because we practiced them a lot on homework. I still memorized all of the concept stuff (like vocabulary stuff) though.

GOD our professor in statics says that an arithmetic error will cost us most of the exercise because "there will be human lives involved".

Bro you're too fast but helpful

im going for engineering for gcse's and im going to go into mechanical engineering at college if i can pass my exams
Im going to attempt to look atcsome engineering videos to help me keep in the mindset

Im a junior in hs thinking of going into Civil or Automotive Engineering. How hard are those fields, and is it even that hard?

Soooooo what if we don't get partial credit?

Those peasant units! Argh

Doesn't work when your profs only want 33% of the class to pass... 4 days of studying for nothing

Back when I was in college (real story):
#1: "The final number is wrong, zero" (Materials Technology)
#2: "You didn't apply any equation, zero" (Systems theory)
#3: N/A
#4: Notebooks? Are you rich or something?
#5: "Yes, but I didn't ask you that! Zero" (Diff Eq)

Try out my circuit simulator? Thanks! Track down circuit solver on the playstore!

In one day, I have my dynamics exams which I failed one time ..

Miss these types of videos on your channel.

is slugs/s an actual unit?? I can't even tell anymore the imperial systeem just doesn't make sense to me.

*-30 points just because. Also Engineering Professors.

why was there a chem question in an engineering vid? e.g. for electrical/mechanical will i still be needing some chem? i love both chem and physics and if i go for engineering (which i feel like i want to) i fear leaving chem behind forever

Always draw a sketch, write down all data and explain your steps.

This does take a lot of time but you won't mess up as quickly and it looks nice, which the professor mighr also favor your work

Imagine being in India . The examples he gave could be solved by a 10th grader easy.

Too bad a lot of these don’t work in online school

Based on the thumbnail, I expected a Key & Peele sketch.

Just came drom that situation where I prepared but fsiledmiserably
