When I went through the MERM in a month, the weekends were instrumental. I would go through several chapters each weekend. Keep in mind some chapters are very short and only have a couple problems. Keep pushing through it then work tons of problems. Good Luck!

Reread my first post... "I would spend one month going through the MERM. This will be a rigorous month but you’ll need to read each chapter page by page and work all the problems except the 1 hour problems in chapters 14-58 & 69 and read only (do not work problems) in chapters 61, 62, 63...

All Right!!!! Mike you were the last one I was waiting on to hear if you passed. Congrats! I am so happy for you! Kinda reminds me of the day I found out. Thanks for all your help!

I was in the 36% of repeat takers that passed the Mechanical exam!

The only way I would work the 1 hours problems is if I had worked all the other problems in the MERM and other books (ie. the three 6-minute solutions)

The first month I spent about 20 hours per weekend and 4 hours per night going through the MERM. In the few months after that I would take some nights on the weekend off but not many. I had too many problems to work to take a lot of time off but it is important to take some time off.

After I spent a month going through the MERM I had zero self confidence because I only got about 25% of them correct. Then I started working the other problems and over time I got to the point of getting about 90% of them correct. I NEVER moved on to the next problem unless I completely...

Advice/How I passed/My Experience :2cents: I’ll update this thread as I try to recall the things I did to pass months ago. I took the HVAC afternoon in October 2009 and passed. :PASSED2: I took the exam and failed in 2006 even though I spent about 400 hours studying for the thing. It...

I skipped the 1 hour problems...most of them envole things you will not see on the exam. Skipping them gives you more time for shorter problems. Once you finish all the MERM non 1 hour problems then work all the 6 minute problem books and the sample exam. I read each chapter of the MERM...

:thumbs: I couldn't have said it better myself!

Work as many problems as possible. Work the MERM problems in the relevant chapters, the 6-minute solution problems, and the problems in the sample exams. Work all those problems and if you finish work them all again. I know this isn't the easy study method but this works every time! Review...

Turns out the pass rate was lower but not quite as much as I thought.... http://www.ncees.org/Exams/Pass_rates.php

Congratulations Buick455!!! I must say, I have been checking this board daily to see your passes post. Besides myself, I was pulling for you more than anyone! Congratulations again...you will remember this day forever! You have worked so hard for this and you deserve all the excitement that...

Yeah it's recognized in the DOE world. The company is going to pay for it so I think I'll go the PMP route then I'm going after the LEED certification!

I'm getting my record set up now with NCEES. It is a pain but in the end I think it will save a lot of time. I have no idea if I will ever need a license in another state but in this mobile economy, I'm betting I will.

Congratulations Yingli!!!!!!! I was hoping you would pass! Now, I'm really hoping Buick445 and chaocl pass this thing also. I'm really pulling for those guys! I'm very surprised POPAC didn't pass this thing....I seriously thought he knew this stuff better than all the rest of us. I'm sure...

I'm thinking now that I have passed the PE, I may join PMI and take the PMP exam. Has anyone done this or plan to do it? With what I'm doing here at work (mostly project management type stuff) I think it will be relatively easy. Any thoughts or advice? :juggle:

I dont understand...what am I missing?

Those ASME DVDs were made by University of South Carolina professors and they are absolutely terrible!!!
