Subjects Covered in Master of Science in Civil Engineering Examination

On reviewing for the examination, one must be aware of the hierarchy of the subjects. I am beginning to further realized why the exam is scheduled in 3 days.
1. Day 1- Mathematics consisting of the following subjects:
         a. Advance Mathematics
         b. Numerical Methods
         c. Matrix Analysis of Structures

2. Day 2- Major Core Subjects
         a. Finite Element Analysis
         b. Structural Dynamics
         c. Continuum Mechanics

3. Day 3- Elective Subjects
         a. Advance Reinforced Concrete Design
         b.Prestressed Concrete Design
         c. Geotechnical Subjects - (in my case) Ground Improvement

It is really a must to review first Mathematics subject because you will not be able to understand the Day 2 subjects. On the other hand, Day 3 subjects can be reviewed separately. Most of the time, since every structural engineers are designing structures in their career, Day 3 subjects can be the least prioritized.
