Passing The PE After Only ONE Month of Studying Time with Connor Aycock

Passing The PE After Only ONE Month of Studying Time with Connor Aycock

🚨 This PE Exam prep timeline defies EVERYTHING you’ve seen so far! 🚨 We always mention that 3 months is the minimum, but exemptions exist…and Connor Aycock did it in ONE month! 😱 👇

That’s exactly what you read, believe it or not.

After moving to a new state where the rules on when you can take the PE after passing the FE are looser, Connor had his chance.

In May 2024, his boss challenged him to take it immediately. After realizing the timing was perfect and that the best window for him to take the test was June 2024, he went for it. 💪

He condensed his exam prep into a jaw-dropping four-week schedule (Whats?! 😨), blocked off his study time, and gathered the on-demand resources he needed to bust through the material.

After 4 and half weeks, he took it…and passed it! ✅ 👷

In this episode, he dives into this (unbelievable) journey, hits on all the things he did to make it possible, talks about what the exam was like and the most challenging parts of it…

…all the way to the ONE THING he would’ve done differently that you can learn from him and do it right in your own exam prep.

If you’re preparing for this exam as well, this episode is a must-listen. 🎧
