I took HVAC and passed this October. Seeing in that you took the time to do all the PPI problems, the time you studied seems reasonable. I took one look at them, and pretty much skipped the entire book. Only skimmed the reading and then just did the realistic problems. From NCEES and 6MS

What did you do hours 200-800? Yes there is lots of material, but unless you just solved the same problems over and over, I can't fathom this much studying. Maybe you got a perfect score?

Do you work in HVAC? I also took and passed the test, but used much less materials. Obviously a pass is a pass, maybe you scored higher.  I used the MERM, tabbed with the index printed, and the four ASHRAE books on the test. Also had a few cycle cheat sheets. To study, I did MERM problems, Six...

Mechanical HVAC - Pass 1st Attempt No course was used. I did a very standard protocol of go through entire MERM, try the problems, make a cheat sheet and tab. Then I completed Six Minute Solutions, NCEES Practice Exam, and the PPI practice test. Out of everything, the NCEES practice was by far...

Random question for anyone and everyone out of curiosity. Let's says results come 10 AM Friday. Do you not tell anyone and wait until after work to view them? Maybe you have multiple coworkers who took the exam so they might be more aware results came out. I wouldn't wait. No chance.

If a 70% is a passing score, then sure I can see how a 49/80 is passing. I have very little knowledge about scores so I really don't know. But it just seems from other threads that guesses at passing scores are higher

How would you think 49/80 isn't failing? I know this cut score thing is pretty much a mystery but I think the conversation starts above 50, minimum. If a raw percentage near 60% is passing, the PE exam is pretty worthless, in my mind 

Can I ask what you got in April? If conservatively you still have a failing score this time, yet it was much easier, well......I'm not sure that what you say makes sense to me
