Best Advice

[Blu1913]

Ok folks so here is my '.02' about the best advice to give:

ALWAYS USE YOUR CALCULATOR!!!

I'm excellent at mental math, but i have found after 6 hours of doing problems...i find myself screwing up easy addition and subtraction. THerefore, I have made rule with myself that all math will be done witha calculator...even if its 100*.01.....

:true: (a mental answer of 10 will really jack your answer up...)

Be sure to bring a phone with you so you can call your coworker for a hint, and to order a pizza as the AM session winds down.

Why would anyone phone a friend? I was planning to just bring them all with me. In the long list of things I can't bring, they never one say I can't bring my team of academics to help me. In addition to academic help, I also plan to use them to unload my car just in case the NCEES-provided porters are too busy.

Your an engineer. One studying for the PE. You don't have any friends.
