Passed, Yay! Filled out your Survey too.

Took the MD&M, I felt like there were too many questions that weren't covered in my study material.  What I mean is, there were questions on obscure areas that were referenced in the material as maybe a paragraph or two, but not in major areas or not in much depth.  I was surprised how...

MEC, Thank you!!  Also, thank you for the reminder about setting my Calc to Rad instead of Deg.

The solution for problem #536 begins by having us use the formula:  µ' = µ(sin(Φ/2)) ÷ (Φ+ sinΦ)   They help us by making sure we know to convert the angle of 80° to radians,  80° = 1.4rad But when I put that into the equation, I don't get the same answer the book gets (book has 0.864, I get...

Thanks!

Just wanted to point out that I have found several errors in the book.  Most of the errors are in the answers for the problems.  The incorrectly show how to answer the question and the answer they get doesn't jive with the way they show how to do it.  This may cause frustration for those that...

I meant to say that I bought the Machine Design and Materials book, not the MSM book.  MSM is what they called it before 2017.

I'm bought the new book when I registered for the exam (saved a few bucks that way).  I took a quick look through it (I bought the Mechanical Systems and Materials) and I saw 28 new questions.  The questions are in a different order than the 2011 book, so it threw me off at first.  Even if I...

CPY, you might want to edit your post, you're kind of giving away too much from the exam.  We're all wanting to know as much as possible, but it feels like your list is too informative where it skirts the line of what we share about the exam.  However, I too feel like I studied for a different...

I was surprised at how much material was on the test that wasn't really part of the study material I had purchased.  Lots of questions about things I didn't study for.  I kind of felt like I could have had half of my Summer back (put less time in to studying) and I would have done just as well...

We've all put a lot of time in to studying over the last 3-4 months, it will all pay off tomorrow.  Good Luck!!

Thanks Ken. 

I was able to message NCEES but this morning and they quickly replied with an updated Exam Auth form. They also mentioned that they'd notify the proctor at my test site just in case. Very painless. Ram, for whatever reason, I set up my NCEES account with Andy, not thinking it needed to be my...

I was reviewing my NCEES account and under my account name and mailing address it says Andy.  However, on my FE license it says Andrew (it also says Andrew on the envelope that they mailed my license in).  So, I guess I'll call them in the morning and hopefully I can get this fixed in time.

Since it's an Elite Plus card, they'll know I'm for real.
