    Doing a couple refresher problems, but mostly spending the day with the wife. I am gonna finish tabbing tonight. Leaving tomorrow for the Cities.

    How many references are you bringing?

    I am bringing the MERM and the Unit Conversion Book. I made my own equation sheet and appendix binder. I am not bringing any other references because I didn’t use anything else during my preparation.

    TFS NCEES Afternoon vs Morning Difficulty

    Hello everyone, I just completed my second pass on the NCEES practice exam. I had nearly the same score this time. This is really disappointed because it pretty much implies I have been spinning my wheels this entire time. I have noticed the afternoon really kills me. Is there any non-standard...

    Yes, I understand this. I got caught in the frenzy so to speak. The slight panic does not help.

    TFS practice problem of the week...

    I can't get anything else other than 0.024 kW. What am I doing wrong? h1=1404.65 Btu/lbm Use s1 as 1.8245 Btu/(lbm-R) to find X2 as 94.55% h2=hf+X2*hfg = 1060.13 Btu/lbm h2' = h1-eff*(h1-h2) = 1142.8 Btu/lbm Shaft Power = Delta h = 82.68 Btu/(lbm/hr) = 0.02442 kW/(lbm/hr)

    Practice Exam Difficulty

    One thing that helped me recently with my effort on the NCEES practice exam was to ignore the data and focus on what was asked. I was always took a physics approach of start with what I needed to solve for and then fanning outward to find the missing constituents. One thing that really bugs me...

    I have a pretty neat update. I completed my first mock NCEES Practice Exam 4 hour - 4 hours today. I completed the morning with a junk ton of time left and only missed 5 questions I completed the afternoon with about 10 minutes to spare (that included writing my letter answers on a separate...

    I did all of the relevant MERM problems. I got skewered by the SlaythePE exam. I am working on the Companion problems. Family and work makes it really hard to study more. I am gonna do the best I can and I hope to get it.

    Practice Exam Difficulty

    When you say that the heat exchanger problems were too much, do you mean that for the actual exam or for the Slay the PE exam being too much?

    Practice Exam Difficulty

    Here is what is interesting. For just about all of the subjects, it is hit or miss if I "get" the problem. It doesn't seem like any one area is especially bad for me. It is like me being 50% with all of the subjects. I just received the Companion Problems to the MERM so I hope to seal up my...
