Thanks. I had checked the site but was putting my last name in the first name box :oops: Licensed! Active!

My letter said I would get something from the state within 90 days. That was only about 5 weeks ago. PA numbers are on what site today?

I was extremely anxious the night before, but managed to calm myself down. I told myself that there's nothing else I can do at this point, that it's only a test and I can retake it next time, and that I've been preparing and studying the material so as long as I can identify it I can solve it...

I read through the MERM and did the in-chapter questions and end of chapter questions during my study. I generally followed the schedule that PPI generates, but did each module a bit faster so I would have time at the end to focus on my depth and weak areas. The PPI schedule goes right up to the...

I'm right around $900. About $500 of that is in books, around $300 in application and test fees, then another $100 or so in miscellaneous supplies. Worth every penny and can write-it off on my taxes for work related costs.

I couldn't imagine that. My wife ran her first marathon last October and the time that she put into training was unbelievable. I couldn't imagine sitting down to study after a long run day. Hope you passed and good luck with the marathon training.

October 2010 was my first opportunity to sit for the exam, but I waited until the April 2011 administration on purpose. I know myself and the time that I put in over the winter would not have happened over the summer. Too many things going on to dedicate the time required, for me at least. I...

I'm waiting until I get my license number from my state. Unfortunately I live and passed in Pa, but work in NJ, so my business cards/email signature will have to wait for me going through reciprocity too. But the hard part is definitely over. Waiting for formalities is a lot easier than waiting...

Agreed. It was great to see the different strategies that people use and decide which one you know will work best for you. We all study differently, but with the mystery that shrouds this test, it's nice to read some reassuring words from people who have been through it before. Also, knowing...

My wife is very, very happy that I don't have to go through the studying again. She was a great support for me telling me to just study for 30 minutes when I didn't want to study that night. (Those 30 min inevitably turn into a full bore study session once you get going.) She also put up with...

I took the April 2011 ME exam with HVAC depth. Books that I used to study and would recommend as references during the test: MERM MERM Practice Problems Lindberg also has a Quick Reference book that I found very helpful. HVAC Six Minute Solutions All four ASHRAE books NCEES Sample Exam, if...

Inappropriate to do a few victory laps around the office? :party-smiley-048:

Email came in about 20 minutes ago. PASSED!!

I walked out of the room feeling very confident so the first couple of weeks wasn't too bad. Then you sort of forget about it. Then someone asks how you did on that test that you were preparing for forever and it's back in your mind, but you can't quite remember the questions and start to doubt...

I was just glad that it wasn't PPI pushing a review course on me. It's been nice not having those targeted emails for the past couple of weeks. Also, I filled out the survey.
