What books can you bring for PE Mechanical Exam?

It depends on what state you take the exam in. For example, there are no restrictions in Virginia. You can bring in any book and you can bring in notes as well, provided they are in a 3-ring binder or otherwise bound. You cannot bring anything that is loose paper. However, in other states (Illinois I think?) you can't bring in any books that have problems and solutions, like the 6-minute solutions books. Some states allow books with notes written in them (like Virginia) whereas other states won't allow you to have any pencil marks in your books (like Maryland).

5. Trane air condition manual

6. Six Minutes solution (HVAC, T&F, Machine design)

8. NCEES mechanical engineering problems and solutions.

Forgot to Add.

You need a conversion book. Lindeburg has one available for about $25.00.

I was able to solve one problem conviniently in AM with the conversion table which

without it, i may have got wrong.

You can print Psych charts online and bind it securely.

You don't need half of the books on that list for the PE exam. MERM and ASHRAE books should be good enough. Books with problems and sample exams are good for studying but not necessary to take to the exam. In fact they might be a hindrance if you. Trane, Kaplan books -- no need to bring a bookcase. Bring the books you study with consistently and know your way around front to back. Don't bring in books you aren't familiar with, they won't help you.
