@MikeGlass1969 Do you still have additional copies of the mechanical design practice exam for sale?

I've downloaded and started going through it. I suppose I'll be one of the lab rats who get to test this out by bringing it with me to the exam in April.

While I agree that it is nothing compared to almost everything else associated with being a professional engineer, I can't help but wanting it now, knowing full and well that within a week of getting it, I'm gonna be all like "psssh, whatever"

Looks like they finally updated with the San Mateo location: San Mateo Area San Mateo County Event Center1346 Saratoga DriveSan Mateo, California 94403United States https://www.smcec.co/

Just found this website in another post  http://www.ncsea.com/resources/licensure/ Regardless, I agree with StudEngineer, the best way to know for sure is to reach out to the GA board for clarification.

This website is definitely useful. My workplace is a mixed boat of mechanical/structural work. I'm taking the Mechanical PE Exam (Machine Design and Materials) this coming April. While I've been gaining structural experience while I've been here, my educational background is mechanical. I've...

Bump 'cause I've been looking for this for a while now! Thanks!

See, because of these posts, my next practice exam will consist of the sound of jackhammers being looped on youtube on my TV in my living room at max volume, using only my lap as a table! Gotta be prepared for anything lol

Well, that's good news! So now that you officially have your license...CONGRATULATIONS!  :multiplespotting: Isn't there some clause to where the first renewal period is free or prorated or something? I know I've seen some conversations about it on the board, but too many states and too many...

Nah, I'm on the east coast (GA) but a majority of my company's projects are out in CA. I agree on the stress part, but I just took my first practice exam after finishing my first pass through all the exam material this weekend. I forgot the kind of endurance that you need to build up to take an...

@ct27gt I don't know how long it takes, but I agree with you that it shouldn't be THAT long. I'm getting a little scared for myself. I'm taking the exam in CA in April. If I pass and the same thing happens to me, then I'm sure to get my license by 2021...

@Abogos the cut-off score changes with every test. I had once believed that NCEES took a sample of "average" licensed engineers in the field, have them take the exam, then whatever they average is that specific exam's cutoff score. But after minimally fact-checking myself, I may be wrong. Either...

That's crazy! I've been imagining what its like to take a test in a different field. I work in a firm with both structural and mechanical engineers. I'm taking the MDM exam, but have been contemplating doing civil/structural after I get my structural experience in.

I'm also scheduled to take the exam this April. My previous supervisor passed on his first try. He said that if you do every problem in the practice problems book, I'd be fine...but he is some kind of super genius, so I took his advice with a grain of salt... Along with the NCEES practice exam...

Having colleagues that past the exam tell you that you're working TOO hard must be the best feeling. Like a little reassurance that you are on the right path

All in all, SolidWorks takes the cake. It is the most economical and most accessible software for mechanical design, with a vast range of capabilities, from basic shapes to complex mechanical assemblies and then some.

I joined not too long ago, but I was definitely asking myself "Wait...where are the Industrial Engineers?" I'm not an IE (Mechanical), but I do work with several. I've just been looking for some information so I can pass it along to them. Glad to know that licensure helps across the board...

@fyrfytr310 I'll be testing in the San Mateo area as well. I looked it up and found this: Redacted - Correct Information below in another response   There were also a couple other sites listed around that area as well. You can use the link below to see the other site addresses and contact...
