Tuesday night spam

It’s a complete train wreck. You have to zoom in to get decent resolution of the lines, but when you do so, the humidity and dry bulb axes are off-screen. Like wtf? It would be ridiculous if a question requires using the SHR protractor. I guess you’d have to use the miniature white board as a...

Agree with you 100%, I will be adding this to my long list of errata and email them about it.

Sue them for what? What are the damages?  You don't even know if you failed or not!!!! Will you still sue if you passed? If I'm a plaintiff's attorney and I'm to take your case in a contingency basis, you'd have to show me how you would have definitely passed if they had only asked 8 - 10...

I think we agree more than you think ;) My point was that those of us that went to grad school, have a definite advantage even though none of the PE exam problems are at the complexity level of what we did in grad school.  Its because we really know the fundamentals, i.e. the undergrad level...

In its first iterations, the PE exam had human beings grading your work. It was a tough exam because you had to use real engineering judgment, reasonable assumptions, and rely on your reference materials. They were real design problems. Then NCEES went to scantronic, multiple choice format so...

You don’t need any of that. Haven’t you seen the official specs? https://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/PE-Mech_Thermal-Apr-2017.pdf
