    Machine Design & Materials Oct 2018

    I think that the NCEES practice exam is representative of the actual exam, see the link and excerpt below.  According to the NCEES the practice exams contain questions from past exams.   https://ncees.org/exams/exam-preparation-materials/ NCEES practice exams help you determine what you...

    HVAC Test Taking Strategy

    I know several people who have done @gomeybear's method, but with @Audi driver, P.E.'s variation.  They speak very highly of this method.  I also know a few people that have gone through each question in order.  These people spent way too much time in the morning session on a few problems and...

    Mistake on TFS Sample Test?

    Gotcha @ValonaBrau.  Good catch, I missed where it stated "water", I just read the "head".  You can email NCEES and hopefully they include it in the next errata.  They updated their HVAC/R errata based on this last post, but I had to email them and it took from August 2017 til March 2018 . ...

    Mistake on TFS Sample Test?

    @ValonaBrau The term feet of water is used to describe the pressure created by the water elevation.  In order to convert from feet of water to pressure per square inch as you have stated with the 0.433 conversion factor, you must use the density of water.   For example, 1 cubic inch of water...

    @Surf and Snow thank you for the feedback and glad I could be of help.  Just to ditto @Szar i think you should remove that blackburn link.  I am very paranoid about copyright infringement ever since that article from NCEES came out.  So just watch...

    ENGPROGUIDES

    I would say my exam is about the same difficulty level of the actual PE exam, but I understand that I am biased.  I think the wording of my exam problems may be a little more straight forward than the NCEES PE exam.  The NCEES PE exam will try to trick you and give you erroneous information. ...

    Pinpointing Shortcomings

    @BirdGrave and @bobbilly  First, thank you for purchasing my exam.  I wouldn't get down, many other test takers have had similar experiences earlier in their studying.  I think it is because the material in my exam is designed to be within the NCEES outline topics, but not covered in the NCEES...

    New NCEES Power PE Outline - April 2018

    @bripgilb  sorry for the delayed response.  The last outline I have before this April 2018 version was titled April 2009 version.  There were updates along the way to update the NEC version.  Other than the NEC changes, it looks like the last change to the exam specs was 9 years ago.

    How I Passed the Thermal / Fluid PE exam

    @Vel2018  1.  With respect to the 11 x 17 psych charts, it all depends on your eyesight.  If you feel comfortable with a smaller psych chart then that should be sufficient.  I have helped some people that have difficulty interpolating with the smaller charts.   2.  Here is my opinion on the...
