Now that I think about it, I believe i saw a problem similar to that on the NCEES practice exam.  I haven't worked that specific problem yet, but it's good to know that that problem type is something to prepare for.  Thanks for the heads up on this! Also, I have found that the AISC beam tables...

I've bought the textbook, and also have electronic access.  But i can't print any of the pages to organize some of the important figures, charts & graphs.  Copying from this huge thing is a bear.  Gonna tab, tab and tab some more.

Are you planning on taking a review course at all?

I've got sort of a hybrid started already, but it is geared toward MDM takers in Oct vs. those who have already passed the exam.

I have always thought that the Unit Conversion book would be good for Thermal/Fluids.  Do you remember what unit conversions in Lindberg's came in the most handy for MDM? 

Good info!  Wish we had a "How I Passed" for MDM.  I'd like to know the major differences in what references were actually used/needed.

As far as references to bring to the exam, I'm planning on the DTC binders & MERM, maybe the NCEES sample exam and SMP.  I've got an older machine design book from college (Fundamentals of Machine Elements), but it is riddled with errors, so doubt I'll bring that.  Anything else, and i'm not...

Thanks!  I don't have the MERM tabbed out yet, but it is on my list.  There is soooo much information in the appendices, that it really is a requirement.

I'm in the middle of the solid mechanics review at the moment.  I'd really like to have a cut sheet with area moment properties, polar moments, etc. on a single sheet or even 2 sheets.  I've printed off the beam tables from AISC at least (although they are pretty small).  So i'll probably put...

NICE!!!  I'll be taking the exam at the same location.

Jeez...you guys still don't have the results?  The wait is going to suck something fierce!

I'm starting to get used to it and into somewhat of a flow.  When I first started, the printing out and binding of things was throwing me off.  Felt like I spent more time organizing, buying binders & tabs, etc than brushing up and practicing.  I'll say one thing, MDM covers a LOT of material.  

Just a general thread for MDM test takers signed up for October 2018.  I've recently started the DTC Mechanical review course.  Anybody else getting ready for this exam?  

That's some funny chit.  It brings up a question though and i haven't looked into it, but slapping on a pair of noise cancelling earphones would be nice.  Has anybody tried using earplugs to block out noise?  I can also see there being a lot of foot tappers.  It's been so long since I've taken...

Or maybe you get a piece of paper telling you that you kicked its ***.  How was the overall set up in OK?  I'll be in Edmond myself in October.

Yep, i'm dreading going back to "school".  I've been out of that mode for about 12 years.  I'm signed up for DTC, so maybe that will get me back into study mode.

I'm getting nervous for you guys.  It sounds like you are all on top of it, though.  Good Luck, guys! My turn comes up in October :/
