There is practically no difference between MERM12 and MERM13 unless you are taking the HVAC exam.  

Hopefully you have at least 8ft ceilings in your basement!   I made that mistake before....

Impressive!    Oh how I miss my pair of yellow WR16's.   Loved everything about that shoe even though I stress fractured in them.   My last set of WR's were the blue 17's that are in your picture.  I didn't like them at the start, they were such a drastic change from the 16's but I began to...

Sounds like a pretty good strategy to me...if you have the time to do both the MERM and Shigley's problems.   Now that there isn't any thermo/hvac to focus on, this may be a good strategy.   I didn't do any of the problems in Shigley's; only used it as a reference for the formulas, better...

AWESOME!!!!    

I'm a big fan of Mizuno Wave Riders.   I have had about four pairs now.   I made the mistake on my last purchase and switched to Brooks Launch 3.0.   I hate them!   I get horrible blisters on the back of my heel and have to really be careful on how I lace them up and what type of socks I wear.  ...

I'm a recreational runner.   Last organized event was a 1/2 marathon back in Spring 2014.  Actually trained for the same race in 2013 but gave myself 3 stress fractures in my right heel only 5 days prior to the event.   After six weeks immobilized and three months of PT, I came back strong...

Don't worry about the size of your textbooks or amount of them.  There were people coming to the exam with wagons of textbooks; literally, there was a guy pulling an old 'red ryder wagon' stacked with books!  He had them all lined up, organized, tabbed, with even pull handles on them for ease of...

I haven't used it in my career either but it was the textbook for my Machine Design course back in college 19 years ago; not sure if I had any retention from that long ago.   Although I consider it a must for the MDM test, even more-so now that it is 100% depth.   I literally read this book...

Shigley's is a must.   Machinery's Handbook is also needed.   I never touched Roark's for either the prep or the test.   You'll probably need a good supplement for Vibrations,,for the MERM is lacking greatly in this area.   I used my old college textbook in addition to 'Schaum's outline for...

Not all industries.  

I just saw in the OCT2016 forum that you passed!   Congratulations!   

Very sorry to hear about your result.  Keep your head up, you'll get it the next time! More hours of self-study...I really think that is the key.  The review course helps but I'd view it as a supplement at this point.    Others gave great advice above and there are several proven study plans...

My company would NOT pay for a thing; exam fees, prep material, travel, PTO....nothing.   Although they were supportive during the prep phase by understanding that my ability to put in OT was limited and gave me no issue when taking PTO, as required.   I passed the test in April and had my...

Honestly though, do you really think those PM questions on the PE exam make you a better project manager?  They were almost a joke, if you ask me. 

When I went thru this in the spring, I kept telling myself that every day that I spent waiting on results was a day of not having to prepare for the exam in the event that I didn't succeed.  

haha, just wait until the week when the states start posting results...talk about being unproductive at work.   Get used to rhythmically hitting 'F5' on your keyboard for the duration of the day

Definitely will need your supplemental references: ASHRAE for HVAC, Shigley's for MD, etc.  I looked back over the new MD spec sheet.  I'm surprised that the area of vibrations is only covered in the 'principles' section (AM).  Also noted that 'Codes and Standards' is now included in...

Hmm, I missed it earlier...but anyone notice that they switched the name of the MD exam yet again!  I took the 'Mechanical Systems and Materials' exam in April.  Now it is 'Mechanical Design and Materials'.  

Wow! Econ is still covered under all three morning sessions.  Project Management only is in MD.   I have mixed feelings on this.  I spent way too much time studying areas outside of my expertise that I know I will not use in my line of work.     But I like the general ME PE stamp and feel that...
