Thanks again, my friend. Yes, I will share my experience from the beginning to the end of the journey. 

Thank you, you have been pretty active here on the board answering general questions, your experience helped me plan and prepare better, glad to be done. 

I just got the NCEES notification that I passed the MDM exam I took last week. I still want to shout “I passed” and I did do that when I saw the result. This was a difficult journey for me as it was for everyone out there who passed their PE exam or will pass sometime soon.  The key is taking...

Nice, congrats for passing it and getting it done. That’s great news. I also used PPI learning hub this time around, the 3 month subscription and it ended just before my initially scheduled exam date. I tried to do all the problems PPI learning hub offered in each area and took their diagnostic...

I started studying in December 2019 for my CBT MDM Exam on April 18th 2020 in California but my exam got cancelled and they scheduled me randomly for May 18 in another state And they emailed and said that the appointment is random just to make sure I have a spot to sit in for the exam and I will...

I actually received an email from NCEES today, my exam got cancelled, why did they wait this long to let us know? The soonest appointment I could find was in August close to my area, that’s 3.5 months out. They plan to reopen starting May 1st but I still doubt it. 

Anyone has any update from Pearson testing centers in the US?  the social distancing situation was extended through April 30th, so will the test centers for the CBT exam be closed until then?  Right now the Pearson website says April 16th but the last update was on March 16. 

All the testing centers in the US and Canada are closed until April 16, you should have gotten your refund by now. My CBT test is on April 18 and from the way things are going here in CA, it is possible the test centers will extend the closure date. do i qualify to reschedule the exam without...

Yup i meant the problem i was having wasn’t due to the manual, i know the manual itself is still being improved. 

Alright, Good to know the manual is ok. 

Also, have you noticed that the nomenclature is messed up or is it my pdf reader?  I downloaded the 1.1 version of the manual which is the latest and in the MDM section , which I prepare for, the parentheses or symbols are all messed up. Is anyone else experiencing this the problem?

I have taken the MDM test before and haven’t passed and they just converted it to CBT and they are saying they can still ask anything outside of the reference manual. I strongly think you need to know everything, I will study the MERM again and will also focus on the new manual. They can ask...

After I read your example I understood what you meant, so Texas’ result (Percentage) is not a direct ratio of earned points to 80. So I am wondering, if we know for sure 70% is passing for Texas then doesn’t this make the guesswork for cut off score easy? For instance in your example, that...

I did alright in materials section mainly because I had the MERM, I didn’t necessarily know the answer, I just used the MERM to get the answer, so what I am saying is that now that we won’t have the MERM what do we do if we get same type of questions, and memorizing all that stuff is going to be...

Oh wow, if you got 67% and didn’t pass, the cut score was definitely 54+ ??? i totally bombed the supportive knowledge section and it made a difference for me. I agree that focusing on the reference manual is a good idea but Materials is a big part of the exam, not sure if we need to memorize...
