Hi All, Happy New Year. I am wishing the best to you all in year 2021. First I would like to apologize not providing my feedback on my PE mechanical (HVAC & R) exam results in Oct 2020 because of various reasons but I am excited to share that I have passed the exam. I took the test late...

@santy and @martiansoldier Congrats to both of you to pass the PE exam. Both of you sounds like worked very hard and prepared for the exam really well and it finally paid off. Well done!!! I guess, couple of quick questions, 1. In case if you completely fill out the booklet in the first...

I have no doubt in my mind that you can actually see how many questions you have in the morning session and in the afternoon session. You can also skip questions and come back to answer them in a later time. I also think once you complete the morning session, you would be prompted to take a...

Thanks for your input JG3. Your detailed feedback on the CBT experience seems to be fairly accurate and valuable for the test takers. Like other test takers in HVAC & R and Thermal Fluid Systems (TFS), your feedback does match fairly well and help the test takers to prepare better for the...

@MAHMOOD ASLAM QUMMAR    Congrats!!! Mahmood on passing the HVAC & R exam. Any additional feedback on preparation for the exam would be helpful. I would like to know which study material you used to practice for the exam. Which areas you focused the most and which practice tests you...

 @Mecha CONRATULATIONS!!! I am glad you passed the exam. How many questions in the exam were there which does not require any calculations at all? Just curious.

Good luck to you as well. Please, do share your experience and the discipline you are taking the exam in?

I don't know at this time. My application is in process and expecting to hear from Board this week.

Oh great!!! Thanks for sharing. I would rather have a pencil with eraser but this would work as well. Thanks again!!! 

If anyone who took the CBT exam already can answer these questions that would help. 1. What has been provided to the test taker to solve the problems? Is it in the form of blank sheet of paper and pencil or erasable white board with marker? 2. Problems require to use Psychrometric charts, P-H...

Congrats!!! I am glad you passed the exam and good to know the overall difficulty level was medium and I believe solving PPI problems will help to tackle medium problems better. One question if you can answer that would be a great help. Was the morning session very different than the afternoon...

Has anyone taken the CBT based PE - Mechanical exam yet? I do not know anyone in my company I work for currently taking the PE exam because it is not required to have a PE license, however I know there are just a few who acquired a PE license long back and they have no clue about the CBT exam...

Thank you very much for sharing these details. This does help me a lot. I think it would be great if you have a practice problem book for HVAC & R folks that way a person like me have more choices to choose from. Thanks again!!! 

Thanks for your feedback on this. Looking at the HVAC & R break down on NCEES website, there are approximately 50% questions related to HVAC & R (Application) and the rest are supporting theoretical / Principles based questions. For example: Heat transfer, fluid mechanics and...

Hi all, I am looking for the best practice problem book with "EXAM LIKE QUESTIONS" for HVAC & R - PE exam. What I am looking for feel for the exam like questions difficulty level and not trying to get into lengthy solutions and details which would not be tested in the exam. I would rather...

You should be able to download without registering. it is open for public to download for free. Highly suggest to get it binded at a local store and use it like other hard cover reference manuals. It is a 500 page manual which is very focused in equations, charts and ASHARE tables etc and I...

I agree. The purpose of this post is to share the overall CBT experience without revealing details of the test. I would encourage not to do that either. The real purpose of this post is to provide the high level guidelines to help prepare for the CBT test more effectively.

As the Computer Based Testing (CBT) is implemented for all Engineering PE exams starting from April 2020, I would like to initiate a thread to share the experience on Mechanical engineering HVAC & R  and Thermal Fluid Systems (TFS) - PE exam as soon as candidates take the exam and share...
