As the PE exam is now US and SI units there is a fair amount of conversions that are needed which makes it interesting when you brain is fried. Make sure you have a good conversions book with you. For example, last night I was working a problem that required the speed of sound in SI units and the conversion needed was: R= 287 J/Kg - oK = 287 M2/s2 - oK.
The book I use is "Engineering Unit Conversion" Fourth Edition by Michael R. Lindeburg, PE
The only problem I have with this book and the MERM is the bindings are either poor or I am just wearing them out as the pages are starting to come out.
