I think all books are allowed unless they are "solutions" books. For example, I took Mechanical in IL and all books were allowed unless the were solutions books, the exception was MERM or EERM. Notes are not allowed even if bounded as far as I know. Tables, Charts, etc., must be bounded if brought.
Wow, glad I am not talking the exam in Illinois!Here is the pdf for Illinois that explains what is NOT approved. http://www.idfpr.com/dpr/apply/FORMS/PE_SPEC_Exam.pdf
it wasn't that bad. the state is all about copyright infringment hence the no photocoping textbooks/manuals and binding them. just bring the stupid books with you, you are allowed as many as you want. also I really don;t see how having 6 minutes solutions or other problem books would help you all that much other than to try to pigeon hole a problem and that would probably take just as long as trying to solve the problem.Wow, glad I am not talking the exam in Illinois!Here is the pdf for Illinois that explains what is NOT approved. http://www.idfpr.com/dpr/apply/FORMS/PE_SPEC_Exam.pdf
In October, Schaum's guides were NOT allowed. Handwritten notes were NOT allowed. But surprisingly, they were allowing binders with printed material. I wouldn't count on that though, since the rules seem to prohibit material not copyrighted and publisher bound.I just checked with the IL testing center (Continental) and NO handwritten notes are allowed!
Hopefully I'll get a response from them as I have copyrighted e-books and I would like to print and bind one or two of them to bring with me.In October, Schaum's guides were NOT allowed.
