Top for me, maybe?

Are we there yet?!?

SPAM!

I took MDM. Definitely agreed that afternoon was more difficult than the morning session. Feel pretty confident about AM, not so much about PM. My eyes started to cross after opening the PM exam booklet.  :blink:

I'm somewhere between Phase 1 and 2. I feel pretty calm in general, but I do think about some of the questions every now and again. Took Mechanical-MDM. The Morning session was great, but the Afternoon was a bit tougher and had many questions in my weaker areas. All in all, I'm just getting back...

Whoops... It only took me 10x looking at that sketch to realize that pinned connection. Another silly mistake to avoid during the real thing this Friday. Thanks for your help @Castaway81

Ah, I see... So the reaction at the column isn't R=0.375*w*L (from propped cantilever equation in MERM Appendix 51.A)? Is that because the end on the wall is pinned instead of built in?

Hey errrbody, So I've been crunching on this one over and over. What is it that I'm missing with the buckling check? I keep getting a FS of 2.66. Is there an eccentric component that I'm missing to the bending (MERM equation 53.14)? I've attached my work for reference (sorry if it seems a...

Less than a week out! How's everybody feeling? Keeping it together? I've settled in nicely with my new 4 status. More problems, more problems... Amazon failed a delivery of another practice exam over the weekend! My nerves are only getting worse and worse!

Theme of this week: Every other problem has me switching from a 1 to a 4 and back. Its a vicious cycle of feeling absolutely competent, then questioning why I do these things to myself

@daydreambeliever I was just thinking to myself "Maybe we should add a #5 - "Dead on the inside" category", especially for post-test trauma

Really awesome process! I'm not one for acronyms, but I will be trying this out going forward with my structural design problems. 

Oh boy, less than a month... I'm sitting somewhere between 2 and 3. Going through the "strengthening of weak points" phase. Burning through the rest of the practice problems I have, and completing the last set of tabs I need on my reference material. Gonna take another practice exam next...
