Engineering Exam Prep is a free, daily podcast by OpenExamPrep covering the most in-demand engineering licensure exams — including FE Fundamentals of Engineering, FE Surveying, and the full PE catalog (Civil, Civil Geotechnical, Civil Construction, Civil Transportation, Civil Water Resources & Environmental, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Architectural, Agricultural & Biological, Control Systems, and more). Each 5-minute episode breaks down one exam topic with worked-style examples, NCEES Reference Handbook callouts, common exam traps, unit-conversion gotchas, and memory tricks to help you pass on your first attempt. No fluff, no filler — just the concepts you need to know, explained the way the exam tests them. This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation for everyone — from EITs studying for the FE to working engineers preparing for the PE.

Engineering Exam Prep
FE Mechanical Exam Prep 44, Stress Transformation and Mohr's Circle
Sep 13, 20264 min
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - How to construct Mohr's circle from a given plane stress state to find principal stresses. - The critical NCEES sign convention where positive (counter-clockwise) shear stress is plotted downwards. - The relationship between physical rotation (theta) and Mohr's circle rotation (two-theta). - How to calculate the maximum in-plane shear stress, which is equal to the circle's radius. - The analogy between stress transformation and strain transformation, including the gamma-over-two requirement.

FE Mechanical Exam Prep 43, Beam Deflection and Elastic Curves
Sep 12, 20263 min
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - How to use the standard beam deflection tables in the NCEES FE Reference Handbook to solve problems quickly. - The strategy of applying the principle of superposition for beams with combined loading scenarios. - How to correctly identify boundary conditions for supports like pins, rollers, and fixed ends. - To spot common exam traps involving unit conversions between feet and inches, and psi versus ksi. - A mental shortcut to verify the sign of your answer by visualizing the beam's deflected shape under load.

FE Mechanical Exam Prep 42, Flexural Stress and Transverse Shear
Sep 11, 20263 min
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - How to apply the elastic flexure formula (σ = -My/I) to find normal stress in beams. - Where maximum normal stress occurs and how to use the section modulus (S = I/c) as a shortcut. - How to use the transverse shear formula (τ = VQ/Ib) and why shear stress is maximum at the neutral axis. - A memorable mnemonic for stress locations: "Normal people live on the edge, but it's sheer madness in the middle." - How to identify common exam traps like calculating the first moment of area (Q) and choosing the correct moment of inertia (I).

FE Mechanical Exam Prep 41, Torsion of Shafts and Angle of Twist
Sep 10, 20263 min
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - How to apply the primary torsional shear stress formula (τ = Tr/J) and identify where maximum stress occurs. - The correct formulas for the polar moment of inertia (J) for both solid and hollow circular shafts. - The most common exam trap involving unit conversion (RPM to rad/s) in the power transmission formula (P = Tω). - The method for calculating the total angle of twist for shafts in series by summing the twist of each segment. - To be vigilant with units for torque, length, and shear modulus (G) in the angle of twist equation (φ = TL/JG).

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
