I failed HVAC for the first time. Anyone passed/Failed? if you passed, how did you study and what materials did you use?
can you fix the dates?I failed October 2017 36/80 (46% scaled score). Studied MERM and Lindberg mechanical sample problems and 6 minute solutions (waste of time).
I failed April 2017 48/80 (62% scaled score). Focused on MERM sections that I did bad on in October 2017 and took Testmasters course.
Passed October 2018 (85% scaled score). Retook Testmasters course, studied NCEES practice exam (took it 3 times until I mastered it), studied EngProGuides Mechanical HVAC/R Study Guide, EngProGuides Mechanical HVAC/R practice exam (took it 3 times until I mastered it), and EngProGuides Mechanical HVAC/R references practice exam.
The EngProGuides material is what made the biggest difference for me. It was my best reference during the exam and I did not use the MERM at all.
Tips:
- Limit water consumption during the exam to avoid wasting time in bathroom breaks
- The 4 ASHRAE books are a must
- Bring a wrist watch to keep track of time
- At the beginning of the exam, rank problems by difficulty 1-3, with 1 being easy and 3 being hard. Do 1's immediately, then 2's, then 3's.
sorry, I had October and April mixed upcan you fix the dates?
i’m confused
says you passed October 2018sorry, I had October and April mixed up
