StillNotA PE, Dr. Tom's class was very helpful. I am convinced the T&F exam is the way to go. Work lots of thermo practice problems. I worked the NCEES 2001 and 2008 sample exams problems over and over. I worked the T&F sections as well as most of the HVAC problems. Many HVAC...

Krak, I did take the exam last October. I do not even recall seeing one on my exam. I have not been real active with this site for the spring exam. I have just been craming and find time to cram. However, I have followed a few of your threads and it sounds like you are ready for the exam...

Krak, I am taking the MD in a couple of weeks. I am starting to get a little stressed thinking about it. The fillet weld problems in Merm seem pretty straight forward to me, but when I pick up shigley, I thing maybe the more difficult problems seem to take a long time to work. Maybe I...

Well, I have just now felt like signing on and thinking about last Friday's exam. I am pretty sure I did not make it. I started out well. I worked several morning problems and thought this is not too bad. However, I was successfully working problems, but time was my enemy. I had to...

Surfer, I too am taking the MD exam this October. So far I have been reading thru the MERM trying to get into the right frame of mind and get a good understanding of the basic theory. I have also been working thru the HVAC and MD 6MS breadth sections. I plan to work the TF breadth section...

How long have you been studying? I am just starting and wondering if I am going to have enough study time between now and test date. I am starting to consider holding off until April since I am just now starting to study. I plan to study all MD,TF and HVAC in hopes of doing really well in...

Now that you mention it. I rarely use the unit conversion buttons on my HP. I think I am getting anxious because I am just now starting to gather my gear for the exam. I might look at the HP33 because I am use to HPs. I guess it really does'nt matter too much, I just need to start...

I am starting to study for the fall ME Exam and looking at calculators. I am use to a HP48 with unit conversion buttons and interpolation program. Are there any NCEES legal calcs that perform these functions? Please let me know what you all think? Seafever
