The five areas in bold — Mathematics, Circuit Analysis, Power, Electronics and Digital Systems — carry close to half the exam between them. The study plan weights them accordingly. Ranges are per the current NCEES specification; confirm against ncees.org before you register.
Every question in the bank belongs to exactly one of the eighteen areas above, with an explanation written against that area’s reference material. Nothing is filed under “miscellaneous.”
Your study plan allocates sessions by two weights: how many questions an area carries on the real exam, and how weak your mastery of it currently is. Heavy and weak comes first.
Mastery is scored per area against your exam date, so the gap between today and ready is always specific: which topics, how far, and how many days you have to close it.
