I work in consulting now but I worked at a mechanical contracting company before. The job at the mechanical contracting company included having me work in the feild for a year. Pretty rough but I now have experience most consultants don't have. Now as a consulting engineer in South Dakota we...

You have to do both.

Yes, I meant economic questions. Must have had a brain fart moment :) They seemed harder than what was in the MERM. We never really had any of the economics other than a quick passing mention in school so it was hard for me.

I second this! If you don't know it now only two days before the test you are not going to know it Friday. Get some good sleep, clear your mind, do something you enjoy since you probably haven't done it for month because of studying. You will do fine on the test.

Funny as it is, the money sections are the parts that caught me the most off guard. They turned out to be much harder than I thought. Also when I took the test there were more manufacturing questions than I expected but since I had a three year internship while in school in a factory that did...

Hee hee, you couldn't help but post something about the cut score??

What topics in the afternoon gave you trouble? Maybe brush up on those. I took the HVAC and refrigeration section and passed the second time so I might not be able to give you really specific tips. I am a very strong supporter of taking the last two or three days off to relax your mind. You...

Remember it is always good to take the last couple of days off to rest your mind.

I second all the books above. I would maybe include the Lindberg 500 worked problems and the 6 min solutions so if you get stuck it might be able to give your brain a jumpstart.

I am afraid you are going to get people recommending both but I would recommend the 6 MS problems. I found that they are the closest to the actual test questions. The MERM questions are good but they are much harder and more detailed than the ones on the test.

I agree with you Lomarandil But Spsukenyon if you think it will work then I guess I would say go for it. It will cost you precious time and may cause you to fail but you could try it. Also I don't think I have ever heard someone brag that their passing grade was higher than another persons...

Believe me, as someone who took the test twice, you don't want to endanger your chance of passing the test on a equal distribution guessing.

You are kind of right :) The problems in the Lindeburg book are harder and more lengthy than on the test but you still need to do all the steps required to get the final answer but they will give you more information at the start than in the Lindeburg book.

I believe you have to use gas tables when it is superheated. But it is just a guess. I don't have my books anymore.

I would be careful with the fundamentals book. After the 2001 version all the weather data and some of the R-factors and some of the equipment typical loads were taken out of the book and only put on the included CD. You won't have a computer available so the book might not be helpful.

Whoa, that went south really quick for me!

While this isn't probably what you want to hear, don't worry about the cut score. If you study and shoot for the cut score you will fail the test. I know since we are all engineers and we like to be in control, it is hard to let control go, but focusing on the cut score will lead you to...

SD results came by mail on Saturday 5/25.

Anyone heard about South Dakota results. Usually not a lot of people on here from SD.

I agree with the consensus here too. This was a big sticking point at the college I went to. There the degree was Manufacturing Engineering Technology. While the college is ABET accredited and the Manufacturing Engineering Technology degree was a bachelors of science degree, it is not an...
