Reading this is like deja-vu, even down to the threats.  

Def, My hat's off to you.   I worked in the energy industry (nuclear) for 15 years.  I fully understand how intense and demanding that industry is.  That was the reason why I haven't attempted to take this exam over the years (even though my registration was submitted and approved back in...

I don't know about everyone else, but I'd find that preparing for this text in the summer months; with longer daylight hours, nice weather, vacations, and just the increase in 'summer related' activities like yardwork, etc. wouldn't be as productive.  I already made the decision that if I were...

I'm in a similar place...same story with my wife..she feels I'm ready and has had enough of this lifestyle.   As the exam nears, I feel everything but 'ready'.   I finally finished going thru all of the MERM practice problems.  No new problems from here on out for me, only reflecting on what I...

I found this link helpful for econ: http://www.peexamquestions.com/category/basic-engineering/economic-analysis/ Note there is other good info in there for test prep.  The heat transfer section was helpful.    I also worked thru the 'FE Sample Exam'.  Only takes a few hours to do, but their...

Yep, I rented it from Amazon...but found that I love it.  It will be a beneficial book to have post exam.    Have to look up how much it will cost me if I don't return it by May.   There are a three or four econ problems in the 6MS book that I know well, plus the problems on the ncees practice...

You are probably right, it just bothers me that I can't grasp this topic.   I looked at it again over lunch, it is starting to sit in.   I guess I just can't grasp that single problem stated above.  I'm ok with the examples in the actual MERM and the problem in the 6MS book.   I think I have a...

Tony, Yes, I'm working the problems in the companion book (practice problems) as I work thru the MERM.  Sorry, should have said that in my earlier post.    I'm not touching the PPI practice test.   My focus is on completing the 1st pass thru the MERM/PP's and then going back to review the MD...

I guess I should clarify with a problem that I'm stumped on: How much HCL should be used as an initiator in PVC if the efficiency is 20% and the average MW of 7000 g/mol is desired? Solution jumps right to 5 mol HCL/mol PVC based on the mer for 20% efficiency.....how was this obtained?    Mer...

I'm having a hard time comprehending polymers for the MD exam;  the degree of polymerization, mers, etc.   If it is a plug and chug problem, similar to the one in the 6MS book..I'm ok, but I am clueless on most of the others.   It just isn't sinking in.  Does anyone have a link to a good study...

I think we are all feeling the same pain.    The Easter holiday does through a monkey wrench into the equation.    I guess it is good if you don't have any plans to visit family for the holiday, it would be a benefit with the extra day off work to study....but that isn't an option for me.   I...

I can't help too much, for I'm in the same boat; taking the exam this April.    But I can share the time it took to complete the first pass of some of these: MD 6MS 1st pass: 35 hours  (Note I did this fresh out of the gate, without even a review of the MERM.  Being you have a good solid...

Sounds very similar, but I 'was' very efficient with the 6MS problems...but it has been 4-5 weeks now.. We'll see how it goes when I get to the point of review.       I'm in a similar spot with the PP's, they aren't sinking in as well as they should.   I keep making dumb mistakes like entering...

Been quiet here this go around, but I'm sure there are many that have been living in the books nightly like myself.    How is everyone doing?   What have you been focusing on? Myself; I have been following Ram's approach but for the MD specific exam.   I'm currently grinding away on the 1st...

I registered for the test on December 7, 2015, which was the first day of enrollment.    However, my application was approved way back in 2007.  It's a long story, but I went thru the application process, was approved, but never registered to sit for the exam due to a work conflict....and here I...

Thank you for the response!  This makes me feel better. Regards, Kevin

Is there anyone from PA who registered to sit for the April 2016 PE exam who still doesn't have 'Scheduled' listed in their ncees profile?   My status is still at 'Pending Board Approval'.    I called PCS and I was confirmed that I'm good to go...but I still don't have this confirmation in...

You are scaring me!   I'm preparing for the MD exam.   I'm on my second pass thru the 6MS MD book and I haven't had a need to use any ASME codes.    However, Shigley's is a must for the 6MS MD problems (mostly for bearings).  However I've found a few inconsistencies between Shigley and...

I've been looking for it as well, but am not hinging my studying on having that practice exam.  I'm taking the exam this April as well, but MD depth.   Many thanks to the post by Ramnares providing guidance for a good study approach.  I'm using his technique.   Right now I'm almost thru my...
