E N D
PE Exam • Studying for the PE exam is an achievement that not all people can boast about, since it is a rather complex process that requires strong willpower, perseverance, and desire to improve, especially for those who have to study and to work, and on top of all, manage a family. It would be a lie to say that everyone can study and work when they have children; however, changing some attitudes or creating a couple of positive habits becomes much less complicated. • Taking into account the following tips, the study process will be much easier and more bearable while working as a parent. No matter the age or economic conditions, it is always possible to achieve the proposed goals, having a clear plan and being patient.
1. A calendar is a valuable tool • Use a calendar and put your daily activities on it. Now, it is important that you set this calendar in a place that is observable by you, as this will serve as a visual reminder of pending activities. • Currently, there are various applications for your smart phone that are used to plan your daily or monthly activities. Some have built-in alarms and even send reminders to your email. • Whether you use an app or opt for the most classic (the calendar hanging on the wall, for example), you will see that you can study and work at the same time in an organized way.
2.Take advantage of every moment You can work and study if you consider every minute of the day as valuable. For example, during the working day, there are free moments to drink coffee or to transport yourself. Use these moments to carry out research activities, review or advance other assignments. This way, you will move forward with your academic obligations quickly!
3.Use better study methods • Mind maps and summaries are very effective in understanding and covering topics in a short time. It is proven that understanding is much more useful for learning than memorizing pedagogical materials, so its practice is one of the best tips for studying and working. • Likewise, applying the salient aspects of what you learn, as a daily topic of conversation, for example, allows you to become much better acquainted with the information you assimilate.
4.Don’t neglect your health • Combining studies and work can be exhausting. Therefore, set aside time each week to do some outdoor activity, go to the movies or play sports. This will avoid anxiety, the feeling of fatigue, and you will see that you can work and study alternately. • If you have achieved evening admission to UNAB, try to sleep an average of 7 to 8 hours a day. It is proven that the brain replenishes energy and learns information in these periods for an adult.
5.Communicate your activities to others • Most companies are interested in the academic improvement of their staff. Therefore, be frank and explain to your boss the schedules and implications of the career you are studying. You will be surprised to know that some companies offer hourly advantages so that you can study and work comfortably.
6.Seek spousal support • Having a supportive partner here is essential. Communicate your needs to them, make them understand your priorities. Their role is critical because they will need to cover up for you in areas where you cannot show up. • Establish the fact that you cannot physically make enough for the family, and they would need to step up and take responsibility for household chores and other tasks at home. This means looking after kids, checking payables, getting groceries, often cooking, etc.
7.Distraction free hours • It is ideal to have a couple of hours reserved for you. This means you are locked in a room without a notion of the rest of the world. It also means that you may have to power off your phone, silent email notifications, put out all distracting sounds, and especially ask your family not to bother you for these hours. • These are power hours where you will crank up your brain activity to a notch. Your energy and sweat will be consumed more than average, and this hustle will help you actually do some hard preparation for the PE Exam.
8.Plan • This is the most important point of all. You must plan ahead of time for the preparation, keeping room for mistakes, fallouts, and moments of distractions, etc. Having work and a family can often pull you out of the studying zone while you are most concentrated. While this is not a significant problem because you would be mentally prepared for this and create compensating hours for the lost time. • Your studying plan may be entirely different from an average attendee of the PE Exam.
9.Get the NCEES PE Reference Handbook • While we have made it clear that you must purchase and study from the right source materials, and the NCEES PE Reference Handbook is hands down the most resourceful guide, you can find. All successful candidates spent hours and hours scouring this book and committed enough time to it. You are more or less in the same situation, and you must resort to it in every studying session. • For more information about PE Electrical Visit us.
