I wouldn't skip any of those chapters. You may see a question on those systems during the AM portion of the test.
That said, don't kill yourself over those chapters. Just be familiar with them.
I went through each chapter of the MERM, from about chapter 14 to chapter 60 or so and then did the Engineering Econ chapter which I think is past 60 if I remember correctly.
Hope that helps

^ I agree!
I would't skip any MERM chapters except for the last few (control systems, plant engineering, econ, and ethics). I would do those as well if you have time (in that order).
MERM is basically your AM test, and some stuff that will help on the PM, I would suggest having a couple extra references specific to your depth.

"Be familiar with" meaning just reading the chapters, or should I be working all the problems in the practice problems book as well? I have been working the problems for each chapter, but with 2 months to go, I want to wisely divide my time.

I would do the problems, but don't spend alot of time killing yourself over them. Try them out, if you don't get them right then look at the solution to grasp the concept. That was good enough for me.
The most important thing about the exam is knowing where to find information in your references....that's why I wouldn't blindly skip these chapters. It's good to have an all around familiarity with the majority of the MERM.

once again, I agree W/ mechguy.
The most important part of preparing for the test is to know how to approach a problem, this is why doing as many of them as possible is crucial. A major part of this is knowing which information is superfluous, they will give you information that does not pertain to the problem, and it takes some dicipline to ignore it.
The second most important thing (and it is a very close second) is knowing your references. The faster you can locate the equation you need, the better. I recommend tabbing, the shaggy method seems very effective to me (although I did not use it myself).
