Here's my quick and to the point summary on how to study: practice problems over and over, know the materials that you plan to bring to the exam, and develop a method to find the information you need quickly. Now for a more extended version: I started studying 16 weeks out - as soon as I found...

Many people will say you need to prep both, because that is what NCEES states. This is just my personal experience - I did all my practice in US only and maybe several examples within the chapters I worked in both units. When you take the NCEES practice test, you'll get an idea of where the SI...

You can get one here: http://www.coolerado.com/products/psychometric-charts/ There are plenty of other printable psych charts, if you search for a pdf. I had mine printed in 11"x17" and folded for the test.

Just found the index pdf: http://ppi2pass.com/Docs/bookInfo/MERM/MERMindex.pdf

Andreyshka, the version currently sold by NCEES is 2011. From what I've read, this is the same as 2008, but the 2008 version gave you all 3 depths in 1 book, here it's split between 3 books. The breadth section is the same in all 3. I only purchased the MD book, and found these problems to be...

Any "Mechanical Engineering Design" by Shigley should be fine. I read a lot of people use old versions. This is the one I used on the test: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0072921935/ref=wms_ohs_product. Be sure to study with it, not just bring it. The book is loaded with equations and you...

Nagall, sorry to hear you'll be doing this again :( I'm curious to find out how you're studying. Have you worked through all the practice problems that you had, over and over? I had all the same study material as you listed (except for test masters material) and nothing beyond that. I...

Pass the mechanical MD!! Sooooo excited and relieved!

I was wondering the same thing... the last group was much more active, why aren't we? And I have to say to the April group, thank you guys for all your posts, I've been reading and re-reading them throughout the last few months :) Definitely keeps me a bit calmer and more hopeful, knowing...

I'm right there with you! Check out this old post on your same question: http://engineerboards.com/index.php?showtopic=13341 I used Appendix 24.C (Superheated Steam). Find h at P_atm and T=600 deg F. Mollier diagram gives the same result. Just a few more days left :)

Thanks, that's what I'll do!

Lindeburg**

I'm taking the MD depth in about a month and finished reviewing the MERM a few weeks ago. I went through all the the 6MS (full MD and just breadth of HVAC and T/F) and have been a little overwhelmed with the difficultly of some problems. I decided to take the practice NCEES (2011) test this...

I think I will end up doing the same for the Lindeburg exam. MetsFan - did your go through the breadth of the other 2 SMS? By the way, what's with all the very negative reviews for SMS on amazon? I've only gone through the MD one (half way done) and I agree that some problems are very...

Thanks for the test taking tip. I will practice that when I sit down for a full practice test of the NCEES questions. Just a few days ago I finished reviewing all the chapters that I wanted to cover in the MERM. "Finished" isn't exactly accurate, I'm realizing now that I learn and remember...
