Crushing the Civil FE Exam After 11 Years and 4 Tries with CEA With Angela Concha

Crushing the Civil FE Exam After 11 Years and 4 Tries with CEA With Angela Concha

Going for the FE a few years after school is already tough. But 11 years, with three failed attempts in the track record, and facing language challenges for coming from a non-English speaking country?! 😨

That’s exactly what Angela Concha did! 😮

Angela is a civil engineer in Ohio who came to the U.S. from Venezuela and passed the FE Exam as a student of The Ultimate Civil FE Review Course.

In this episode, she dives into her FE prep struggles. From why self-study and other renowned (and expensive!) prep courses out there didn’t work for her…and how she turned things around.

Her journey is a big lesson on the single most important trait you should have if you find yourself in the same shoes of having to retake the exam: Grit!

So, if you’re in the same shoes, and especially if you’re a latino or latina engineer on your way to becoming a licensed PE in the US, this episode will inspire you to push through! 💪

Go check it out! 🎧
