Definately bring the ASHRAE books. I brought the Trane manual, but didn't use it.

ASHRAE books

What is your depth?

The ASME DVD's are terrible. Don't waste your money. I did get valuable information from the PPI CD's. They give you hints for the refrigeration process. They also simplify some things.

I followed the schedule in MERM. You don't need as much time as they give you for each chapter. Also, don't waste your time reading each chapter in depth. I wasted so much time reading and trying to understand. Skim the chapter and do the problems.

I have one that I used for the April 2010 exam. I'll sell it to you for $5.00 + shipping.

I'm in Florida and got the pass email around 4:15pm on June 3, 2010.

I would agree with what you have listed. I took HVAC depth in April and thought it was harder than the 2001 & 2008 Sample exams, but not as hard as SMS or Lindeburg. Good luck!

She said they just mail it, no additional fees. She said it was more like 6 weeks, not the 4 I had said before. So, I'm assuming middle of July we should have our numbers and certificates. YAY!

One of my friends that took it in October said it was only like 4 weeks. When I look on the website it still says waiting for score. Does everyone's say that still? I would think they would have scores by now.

I used the PPI review DVD's and found them VERY helpful. They gave tips and tricks to save time on problems, like refigeration.

I have all the books I used for sale on Ebay. The best book I had was the Lindeburg Engineering Unit Conversions. It saved me alot of time becuase it has direct conversions. I also thought the 2001 and 2008 Sample Exams were very helpful. Much more than the Sample Problems in Merm. You also...
