A good academic debate none the less for us keyboard jockies, haha

Hi Locke, but I understood that it is actually DORA that releases this info, hence everyone refreshing their DORA portal. Do you think there is software between NCEES that ports the information directly into DORA's portal? In other words, what if DORA got the info earlier today, and they are...

Audi, What would be the recourse path be to challenge NCEES on a question in general? Unless I am missing a process that was described to me previously, it seems that NCEES has the deck stacked in their favor against challenging them. One would have to remember the full question details for all...

Locke, why 3PM MST? Wouldn't we wait until 5 PM MST?

Wildfire, that was today and has been my experience to a tee- no one knows what you are talking about and those that do don't pick up the phone, return VM's and the few times they did respond to my emails, they did not understand / address my question. I then re-iterated and clarified, all to no...

Thanks Chiidog. On my way back to office to find account info, login and perpetually refresh, haha

RB, lol. Sorry for the apparently ignorant question, but is this DORA site one that you privately access through an account, or public facing? I'm onto the DORA site when I get back to the office this afternoon. Thanks.

Wildfire, where is that screen shot from? Your NCEES account?  I called DORA and they stated that I will find out via email, so I am confused as to what is the fastest way to get confirmation. Not helping matters is DORA's lack of responsive communication / availability. Hey Monty, looks like...

Thanks Audi.

A potentially easier solution is to highlight over what you have written in pencil. I then used erasable pen to make the rest of my notes.

That wouldn't be nerve wracking! Thanks John.

Thanks John. A level of dorky detail only another engineer could appreciate. WRT to #2, I meant do you get a fresh blank booklet for the PM? Or are you working the whole day's problems in one book? (Not the actual problem statements book).

Forgive me if this has already been covered, I searched and didn't find. Also, this perhaps should be posted in a different section. Can someone explain in detail about the size and form of the exam booklet so I can know what to expect? Specifically: 1) Are the problems in the same booklet as...

Thank you both for your feedback.

Thanks for the feedback and well wishes! Yes, slightly newer to the forums. I had seen passing mention of the format change, but it didn't hit me until 1 week ago when I took the PPI exam after the NCEES exam. What do you think the rationale was behind the format change? I agree that it seems...

Thanks SacMe24. Johnny, I was frustrated / surprised to learn this 2 weeks out from the exam. I had ordered all of my reference materials this last spring. MERM's outline of course reflects the old test format, so I spent most of my time on fluids and MD&M, with a sprinkling of other, just...

Just found the thread on the exam format change(http://engineerboards.com/topic/27390-new-mechanical-pe-specifications-for-the-april-2017-exams/) and this now makes sense. With that being said, besides the 2016 NCEES practice exam, what is another practice exam that people recommend that I can...

Hi Dr. Woop, Thanks for your reply and for sharing, I appreciate it. With that being said, can you comment on the fundamentals of my question as it pertains to the PE exam? I think that the total area is used for calculating the direct shear (F/Atotal), but still don't understand the...

I am taking the Machine Design & Materials Mechanical PE Exam in less than 2 weeks. I took the 2016 NCEES practice exam a week ago and passed. I generally felt that it was a "good fight" and some problems I knew, some I figured out, some I struggled with and made educated guesses. I studied...
