    Do I need more practice problems?

    I understand budget too, but imagine having to take the test again? You would have wished you spent the money on the books (which you can sell when you are done) instead of another exam registration fee.

    Do I need more practice problems?

    I thought I would give my feed back on the Six Minute Solutions: Mechanical Systems and Materials, 2nd Edition. I didn't think it was that bad. I did the MERM companion problems first, so I was more prepared than if I just went in cold. I think I averaged around 8-10 minutes on my first pass...

    North Carolina is Out!

    That is awesome. Looks like it doesn't take very long after they tell you that they have your completed application.

    North Carolina is Out!

    I have no idea how long this will take. I had to have all my transcripts and references sent in again. I requested transcripts be sent to my house at the same time in addition to being mailed to the state board so that I can verify they actually got mailed out. I still haven't received the...

    Is the Machine Design and Materials exam less popular?

    North Carolina does say that you need 3 of your 5 references must be from licensed PEs and that half of the required time (so 2 years) must be under a professional engineer. I passed the PE machine design and materials exam this past April and I am going through the application process right...

    North Carolina is Out!

    I applied last year before they announced decoupling and they sent my application back around October with a letter telling me they decoupled and to apply after I take the exam. I emailed them and they said they would hold my transcripts, references, and my FE verification (I took FE in a...

    North Carolina is Out!

    Anybody from NC mail in their application or hear back yet? I mailed mine in the day after memorial day. With this being the first session of decoupling I am not sure how long it is going to take for them to process the applications. I am thinking giving them another few days before I e-mail...

    Asking for a raise after passing the PE Exam.

    My current job does not require a PE license and we have over a dozen engineers but we all practice under the industrial exemption. I expected nothing and was content with that. This was more a personal goal more than anything. I was a bit shocked yesterday when my manager asked me to send...

    Why can't we all be like Texas

    I also don't give a damn about my score.  There are a few questions that I felt were very tricky and want to know the answer too, but it's definitely not keeping me up at night.

    Are you keeping your study materials / exam references?

    How many of you that passed are going to keep your exam references/study materials? I took the Mechanical Machine Design & Materials exam and I purchased the following for the exam: 1. Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual (MERM) 13th Edition  2. FE reference Handbook, 9.4 edition...

    For those passed the PE exam under Decoupling , Did you update your resume?

    I posted a screenshot of my NCEES dashboard showing the green pass to my LinkedIn feed, but other than that haven't done anything. Heading to the notary after lunch to get my application notarized and mailed off. This is the first exam session for NC with the decoupling going into effect, I hope...

    Self Studiers - What Resources did you use?

    I did the Machine Design & Materials depth. I used the MERM, FE reference handbook, Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design, the machinery's handbook, and a binder full of worked practice problems, notes, and pages from a few choice sections of college textbooks for areas I felt the MERM...

    What are your Non-Passing Scores? Too soon?

    I would try to shoot for 80/80 when you're studying. I know that seems ridiculous/harsh, but especially now that it is no longer breadth + depth on the mechanical exams I think the expectations might be higher. If you go into your prep thinking "I can afford to miss these topics that I am not...
