Agreed. 80/80 would definitely have been very doable. Don't think I did quite that well, but I felt pretty good when I walked out of there. Very much on par with the difficulty of the NCEES practice exam.

Where are my results?!

Lots of high fiber food and maybe a laxative. Helps keep that "sense of urgency" for the PM portion.

With 6 minutes per problem I'm not sure how you'd have time to use anything besides MERM

I am fully confident that I will not use anything but MERM, my cheat sheets, and thermodynamic tables/charts. The rest is "just in case". Better to have them and not need them.

1. MERM 2. Thermodynamic Property Tables (a big bound version I got in college that I can't seem to find a reprint of anywhere) 3. Binder with :      - Personal "cheat sheets" with most used equations      - All of the Slay the PE free references (multiple copies of psychometric and mollier...

I just signed up for the pencil really  :D

Couple last questions/clarifications... We don't bring ANY writing utensils into the exam? I bought copies of all of the ASHRAE manuals although I never really used them. Is anyone actually bringing those into the exam? I can't see having time to look something up in those.  I am bringing my...

Planning on sitting down and doing the entire NCEES practice exam this weekend (giving myself the same format as exam day). I've been through that exam a few times already but I've avoided looking at it for the past month or so. Just been working on the Slay exam recently. Wednesday off of work...

I didn't want to say it, but I can't think of anything else it would possibly be for.  :laugh:

Don't forget your "length of rope" as recommended on the MERM exam day checklist. Not sure what it will be used for, but I guess it will become apparent when the time comes.

Just finished my second pass (first timed) at the first half of the Slay the PE exam. Managed to get 31 correct in 3 hrs, 34 minutes (77.5%). That was without guessing on the 6 problems I  skipped (didn't feel like I was getting anywhere on them). I only missed 3 of the problems that I actually...

I agree 100%. My method is always to first try to identify the equation that involves the parameter I am looking for. Then I identify what I do and don't know in that equation and work backwards from there.

Yea getting that exam authorization makes this seem like its actually going to happen! I have to get from Northern Colorado down to Denver in morning rush hour  :unsure:

I felt like the first half of the Slay the PE exam beat me up a lot more than the second half. I felt much better after getting through the whole thing than I did about 1/4 of the way through. But I definitely found some weak areas I need to work on. Particularly compressible fluid dynamics and...

I appreciate the input, but I like having it typed (much easier to read as my handwriting is terrible). I have written out all of the equations numerous times while going through practice problems. I don't see trying to limit to two pages as a "ridiculous goal". Keeps it concise so I don't have...

Here is where I'm at on my "cheat sheet" for the exam... Trying to keep it to two pages, but I keep finding new things to add.

I forgot to mention the 3 yr old we also have running around our house  :blink:

I'm on my third pass through the NCEES 2016 exam. I am averaging about 4 minutes per question now and getting most correct.  I stepped away from that exam for a bit though and have been working on the Slay the PE exam now. That exam has been killing me so far. I was feeling pretty solid after...

I'm hoping Slay the PE has licensing permissions for problems lifted from other texts...
