    Easier than I thought! I took the Electrical afternoon section instead of the general engineering, I think it was the best choice. Most of the problems are more of a trick question than anything else, if you don't know the theory you will wind up doing unnecessary calculations. You have 4 hours to answer 120 problems in the morning session, and 4 hours to answer 60 problems on the afternoon session. Electrical problems in the afternoon section covered from DC/AC circuits, current mirrors, simple op-amp circuits, root locus (control systems), three phase problems, communications, digital electronics etc etc, I think it was a huge help for me that I took extra classes just for the heck of it like digital electronics, data structures, Communications Theory 2, Digital Control systems, and my degree is in Power Generation and Distribution, and most problems were related to that (3 phase loads, power factor correction). I'm stoked since only 68% of the EE who took the exam on October 10' passed. Now this October I will take the PE which for me morning and afternoon section are both completely about electrical engineering. The only part that sucks is that after I pass the PE exam I need 5 years of experience under a licensed engineer before I can get my license.. but what the heck nothing comes easy you have to crawl and go through hell to get it... :)

    Were you doing anything crazy? Or did this happen during normal driving? As a fellow FJ driver with a spacer lift this worries me

    Your mom should treat you better and make real cookies. IMO those pre-made cookies aren't good for anything but eating the dough raw. At least then you don't have to worry about real eggs making you sick. Ain't no real eggs in that shit.
