I get 643 in-lbf by using the principal stress eq due to a moment and torque from this link (also found in the MERM but i don't have it with me right now): http://www.nptel.ac.in/courses/112107146/lects & picts/image/lect34/lecture34.htm I'm not gonna worry about this one too much though. 

Relax?! Ha! good one.  :D I got the authorization email today. Mine says 7:15 for Chicago/northlake. I live about 30 min away so i'll probably leave shortly after 6.

Here's one that doesn't make sense to me. (I am assuming there is a typo and they are looking for the max moment). I don't get a value close enough to any of the possible answers.

i was nervous taking the NCEES sample exam in the comfort of my own office lol. I'm doing alright on the practice exams but I still don't feel like i am ready yet. My plan for the next two weeks is to go through the practice exams again. Then during the final week I am going to review any areas...

Yes those we my first pass scores for all 3. I still want to go through them all once or twice more. I'm only taking this exam once! I tried to pm you regarding this practice exam, but it says you are not able to receive messages. 

I have taken the engrproguides, NCEES, and this practice exam so far. I would definitely agree that this its the most difficult of the three. My scores have been 83%, 74%, and 70% on the three exams respectively. Although i got unusually lucky on a few problems on this exam with guessing. The...

I think there is an error in this problem. The problem statement says the weld has a 3/16" throat but the figure shows a 3/16" leg. Your calculations look to be correct for a 3/16" weld leg. If a 3/16" throat is used, the max allowable force comes to 3387 lbf. Answer B. Do the rest of the...

I think you have it backwards. Shear stress due to torsion is zero at the center and increases to a maximum at the external fibers.

D. The bending moment due to P2 causes a normal stress distribution at cross section a-a. At point A the magnitude of normal stress is zero and therefore independent of h.

Can you post the problem?

Ah i got it now. I though the problem statement was trying to be tricky so i neglected bending stress. Good problem, thanks.

A.  But the problem statement says "a load P=3 kip" and the figure shows 2 load P's which would result in a combined load of 6 kip and yield a thickness of .1 in. Unless i'm missing this completely...

I got C as well. I'm studying for MDM so it took me an extra couple of minutes to stumble through the water density tables

I purchased the Engineer Pro Guides MDM practice exam. I took it a few weeks ago. I found the exam difficulty to be a little easier than the NCEES practice exam. I attribute this to the fact that I also have the engrproguides study guide (i read the entire book) and some of the practice exam...

I purchased the practice exam but have not taken it yet. I did take a quick peek at the problems and they appear to have the same level of difficulty as the NCEES practice exam. I'm about 75% done with my review then I will be digging into the practice exams. Also check out Justin's review...

Thank you for the words of encouragement Sebas and congratulations on passing!  I will be taking the MDM PE exam in April 2018. I am 6 years out of college and I work in Industrial machine design. I took the FE this past September and figured that I may as well keep pushing and take the PE as...

I will be taking the MDM PE exam in April 2018. I am 6 years out of college and I work in Industrial machine design. I took the FE this past September and figured that I may as well keep pushing and take the PE as soon as possible. While not necessary at my current position, I feel that being a...
