Anyone else studying for UDEE in the next month? Want to study together
Taking my UDEE - Uniformed Division Entrance Exam exam in 4 weeks and trying to find people at a similar stage to keep each other accountable.
I study better when I have someone to compare notes with. Currently going through "udee study guide" and working on my weak areas — specifically around udee practice test.
My schedule: 90 min of focused study every weekday, full practice test on weekends. I review every wrong answer and try to understand the why, not just memorize the right option.
If you're in a similar prep window and want to:
- Compare practice test scores weekly
- Share resources that actually helped
- Talk through confusing questions
Reply here or message me. Doesn't have to be formal — even just checking in once a week helps me stay on track.
Where is everyone at in their prep?
Worth mentioning: the udee study guide covers exactly the areas people tend to struggle with most.
For anyone finding this thread later: the UDEE is passable with consistent effort, even working full time. I studied 63 minutes a day for 13 weeks. The udee study guide kept me honest about where my gaps were instead of just drilling things I already knew.

I'm in the same boat, four weeks out and honestly the biggest shift for me was stopping myself from just highlighting the correct answer and moving on. Now when I miss a question I force myself to figure out exactly why each wrong answer is wrong, not just why the right one is right. It takes longer but it actually sticks.
If you're working on the reasoning stuff, I've been doing the udee critical thinking and logic 3 practice test and reviewing every distractor option after. Some of the wrong answers are wrong for really specific reasons and once you see the pattern you start catching them in real time. Would definitely be down to compare notes if you want to keep each other accountable.
Failed my first attempt back in February and honestly it was a wake-up call. I thought I could just skim through the material and wing it, but the reading comprehension section destroyed me. What actually helped the second time was slowing down and really drilling the question types instead of just reading passages over and over. I also stopped studying alone for hours and started doing timed practice sets to get used to the pressure.
If you're four weeks out you've got enough time, just don't waste it the way I did. The math wasn't as bad as I expected once I figured out which concepts actually show up consistently. Good luck and feel free to compare notes, happy to share what worked for me.
I failed my first attempt last year and honestly it wasn't the content that got me, it was the pacing. I didn't realize how fast you had to move through sections until I was already halfway through and way behind. Second time around I focused way more on timed practice and drilling with flashcards to build speed on the stuff I already knew so I wasn't wasting time on easy questions.
The study partner thing genuinely helped me too. Having someone to check in with kept me from skipping sessions when I wasn't feeling it. If you're four weeks out you've got enough time, just don't let yourself go through material passively. Good luck, you've got this.
