Hmm first off, I recommend this book as your study guide.
Fundamentals of Engineering by Merle C. Potter
Second, are you still in school? If so, it can be hard to both study and work on school at the same time. My friend and I tried to study during the semester (ie. September), but wasn't productive.
Luckily, however, our school provided a one day review session for the EIT. You should check to see if your engineering department or maybe a club/engineering society (ASME, ASCE) at your school will provide such a review.
In addition to the one day review, my friend and I spent the 3 fridays before the day of test in october doing random problems in the most important sections, which the study book will tell you. These sections are worth the most points cuz they have the most questions in those subjects - Math, chemistry, statics and circuits I believe.
Finally, I dunno if you know this already, but the test is divided into a morning section and a general section. The morning section tests you on your general engineering knowledge on a wide range of subjects (the study guide will tell you). The afternoon section, however, has less questions I think but are tougher. You can choose which section you want for the afternoon session, based on your engineering discipline, ie. mechanical, electrical, etc. But I suggest you choose the General section for the afternoon as it is similar to the morning section but the questions are harder.
Btw, if you are in california (since I dunno how they do it in other states), if you get your results in an envelope that looks thin, you passed. You'll know you have failed when the envelope they mail your results in is thick, because they also include a form for you to fill out if you wish to retake the exam. And when you pass, they don't tell you how much you pass by, so don't bother asking, lol.
