Hi Luke, There are certain equations that can't be found in the NCEES Mechanical Reference Handbook like the expansion tank equation. But I still think it is important that you understand the concepts behind the sizing of an expansion tank. Here is a recent email I received from someone about...

The overall pass rate for the new CBT exam is 71% as of January 2021. https://ncees.org/engineering/pe/pass-rates/ We have been keeping track of the pass rates on our website.  No April or October 2020 paper/pencil exam was given, so we only have October 2019 and April 2019 to compare the new...

Yeah, this one is a little tricky.  The term reactance, gives you the "j", which gives you the 90 degrees.  Motor:  Power flow from terminal to internal voltage.   V_internal = V_terminal - ( 1.05 angle -18.19)(0.9j)

This is something interesting about the CBT exam.  As many of you know, the Mechanical PE exams transitioned to CBT in the beginning of 2020.  Someone just failed recently and sent me their diagnostic report.  He found that his score was out of 70 instead of 80 due to the pretest problems.  This...

@DuranDuran, @speakeelsy, @DilutedAr18  thank you very much for your feedback, it is very helpful to me.  It sounds like I need to add more conceptual questions and less calculation intensive problems to my practice exams.  I can definitely see how my exams are more geared that way and with the...

@akyip  I don't check engineerboards as often.  You can email me for quicker responses.  Anybody else who has purchased an Engineering Pro Guides product, please email me and I can get back to you quicker.  Thanks again for the support!

Thanks @akyip  & @Zach Stone, P.E.,  I have made the revision to the exam and added it to the errata.  

The NCEES Power PE Handbook for the upcoming CBT exam has just been released.  I was wondering what you all thought about the content that was released.  One big thing that stood out was this statement, " In addition to the PE  Electrical and Computer: Power Reference Handbook, the exam will...

I have been asking the engineers from our HVAC PE class to take surveys after they take their HVAC PE CBT exam.  Please see the results below.  Also if anyone else has taken the HVAC PE CBT exam and would like to contribute their feedback to their survey, please see the link below.   2020 HVAC...

My theory as to why there is an uneven amount of problems between the AM and PM session is that the first half includes the Basic Eng Practice (4-6), Thermo (4-6), Psych (7-11), Fluids(3-5), Heat Transfer(6-9), Energy/Mass Balance(4-6) and Heating/Cooling Loads(7-11).  The second half includes...

Congratulations @MAHMOOD ASLAM QUMMAR and everyone else who passed.   I am posting some information from one of our students in our HVAC class who took the exam a couple of weeks ago and passed.  I thought the part about the format of the exam was very interesting.  Our student lost some time...

@daydreambeliever The October 2019 PE was the first time we provided an online version of our Power PE class.  Please see the raw survey results below.  We keep our feedback anonymous and ask for ways to improve.  Some of the feedback was difficult to hear, but we definitely are incorporating...

NCEES just released their pass rates for the October 2019 exam.  https://ncees.org/engineering/pe/pass-rates/ For context, I have the last pass rates.  Feel free to check my math, but it seems like this test was harder than previous tests. October 2019 - Overall pass rate - (1106 x 50% + 726 x...

NCEES updated their pass rates.  https://ncees.org/engineering/pe/pass-rates/

This is the latest that I have from my survey.  I'll post the link once I finish my analysis of the results.  I ask people to put their score in terms of number of correct as opposed to percentage.  In my opinion, the 55 is probably a percentage, as opposed to 55 out of 80.  

Sorry for the delayed response. I use the final exam in the last four weeks of my class. We do a simulated exam broken up into 4, two hour sessions. The problems are different from the full exam. The full exam is used during the first 8 weeks of the class.

That is probably another area where you can get some easy points.
