That's what I did, worked great. I used a full size pullman (not the carry-on size) In retrospect, a carry on pullman is really enough. More than that, and you don't have time to get to it.

Ack! I'd just typed out a long post and got an error when submitting and lost it! Ack! I'm not going to type all of that again, so I'll be very brief. I studied for about 120 hours and must have passed by the skin of my teeth. I think 120-150 is probably average for most. Some do more. If...

Doh! Just such a scenario is what I was freaked out about. So I checked the testing location with the ELSES about two weeks before the test...just to be sure. Then I doubled checked that I knew where it was (even though I already knew) on Google Maps...just to be sure it wasn't in a different...

How'd it go for everyone? I was thinking friday, "Man I'm glad I passed last April and didn't have to be stressing out about retaking this thing now." It brought a little smile to my face... :beerchug: As a note, don't stress too much now. I was 99% sure I didn't pass and I did, and...

I live out in the Spokane Vally, South Barker Rd. If you are a skier it's within 1.5 hours of 5 difernt ski resorts (most of them are smaller, but Silver Mountain is geting larger, and Schweitzer is very large) Where did you drive over from? From Seattle?

Well, I passed my first time through last April, so apparently whatever I did worked. I read through this exact thread in March to get ideas. Myself, I: 1) Took Thursday Afternoon off, and just came home. I spent a couple hours doing some reading in the MERM, then a few hours organizing my...

Not that it's a big deal to work with SI units, but there's a certain "feel" that you don't have for SI units that you do for US Standard units. You instinctively know what a pound, PSI, gallon, foot, etc. are like. But a Newton?, a Pascal? cubic meter per second vs. cubic ft. per minute? I...

Just wondering how it was coming for Aamy. I took and passed the ME PE in April, and am just getting a warm fuzzy that I don't have to take it again, because I was really sure I hadn't passed after walking out of there. And I don't mean like these guys who just say they were feeling like they...

25 in the morning and 20 in the afternoon....what are my odds? doh! :(

(ME-Thermo/fluids) I thought the MERM was probably good for 80% or so. But as I ran out of time both sessions and had to guess a fair amount, maybe that's inaccurate. I had a Cameron book with me that I found pretty helpful for the fluids problems, especially the NPSH stuff that the MERM...

I took the ME-Fluids/Thermo Exam. Two things, A. it wasn't has bad as I had it made up in my mind. I was totally psych'd out for it, but I knew more than I thought. B. I don't think I passed. it wasn't so much that I didn't know the problems. It was that I totally ran out of time and had to...

This seems extraordinarily paranoid, but do double check which morning disapline you did (mechanical, civil, etc), and when afternoon depth session you did. in the afternoon, they had 3 depth sections in the booklet, but only one place for answers. I didn't even think about it until I was...

White Pencils with Red Capitol Lettering.

The time management part really hurt me. I completely ran out of time both sessions and had to guess a fair amount at the end so I at least had an answer for each before they called time. I went in thinking I'd go through and do all the easy problems first and go back, but then I'd hit a...

Two things, A. it wasn't has bad as I had it made up in my mind (ME-Fluids/Thermo). I was totally psych'd out for it. I knew more than I thought. B. I don't think I passed. it wasn't so much that I didn't know the problems. It was that I totally ran out of time and had to guess on...
