I answered all the MD PM questions with 10 minutes to spare but that doesn't translate into confidence. I got reasonable answers for most of them. Only stumped on a few but I am very worried about the "factor of 12" or 144 or 32.2 type mistakes that are very easily made. I tried to be super careful about units and *think* I did a good job. But who knows. 6 minutes average on that PM is DEFINITELY a rush job. Hard to be sure that every i is dotted and every T is crossed.I'm surprised at how many people here took the Mechanical Systems depth. Nobody else who did Thermal & Fluids wants to comment? Seriously, I got my ass kicked in the afternoon and I would feel fantastic if someone could share my misery.
Hearing someone say they took MD depth and "solved almost 36 and still had 30 minutes to check" is making me shit a brick. That was NOT my experience with T&F depth.
There were also several that I had no idea initially how to approach so I was figuring it out during the exam. I am wondering if NCEES anticipates a hack like me finding what seems to be the right equation to plug and chug and using the wrong one. Like I said, I got answers that matched choices but that doesn't mean I got them right. I can see the potential for lots and lots of that. I don't think finishing the test with a few minutes to spare guarantees success.
