haha. Thanks! I guess the only important thing is that we passed. Congrats again :)

ah ok. I'm 99% sure my state doesn't do that. The only thing on their site I can do is look myself up in the license database.

how do you know the % correct?

Just saw that I passed!!11

to be honest, there are only a handful of questions in the morning that require you to only utilize one of these tools. For example, "units and conversions" really just gets rolled up into the normal ME questions. You'll get a normal ME-type problem with units that will need to be converted in...

I believe it changes every year. Also 48/80 is extremely low...In all honesty I wouldn't want the passing score to be 48/80. You are only picking and choosing a few posts out of that thread. There are people in that same thread who stated they got 53/80 and did NOT pass.

I obviously can't give specifics but I will say that the NCEES practice tests were not very representative of the real thing (at least compared the test that I took) in my opinion. As I stated earlier in this thread, I flew through the NCEES practice tests in a combined 6 hours or so the first...

Yep. I did one last run through of NCEES HVAC+R full test, one last run through 6MS HVAC full test, reworked 6MS MD breadth, as well as cleaned up some of my notes and reference materials this past weekend. Probably about 20 hours over the weekend - I was struggling though since I am so burned...

I agree there as well. The MERM is good enough to cover the areas that aren't your depth. I will say however, that anyone who is HVAC+R depth should really spend a lot of time with the ASHRAE books and sample problems other than what comes with the MERM. The MERM is very light on HVAC and...

I agree that having the separate index is not really that helpful. I thought it would be and I actually printed out the index as well as some separate pages from the appendices when I first started studying...however I quickly noticed it was easier to just flip within the same book than start...

I have heard that the T&F 6MS is the worst. The HVAC one was very good - probably the best practice exam tool I had outside of the NCEES 2008 test.

cool. How similar to the real exam was the NCEES practice morning portion in difficulty? I just took the morning portion of the NCEES exam for the 2nd time and got 39 right in 2.5 hours. Of course there were probably 5-6 problems that I got right mainly from remembering studying the answer...

Just to be clear Tim, you are saying that during preparation for your 2nd attempt at the PE you scored a 37/40 + 30/40 on the practice exam prior to the real exam correct?

How long have you been studying? What is your depth?

I believe that ASHRAE 84 says that the mass flow rates of the entering and exiting air streams should be the same (at least when they test the efficiency). The formula that NCEES posted is simplified because I believe the mass flow rates in that problem were already about equal. If the mass...
