SOLD!

I have a practice exam for sale, the NCEES Mechanical Systems and Materials.  ISBN #978-1-932613-60-5 (I bought it 2 years ago and the cover looks identical to the one on the NCEES website for what it's worth).  It's a clean book, hardly used only once.  These sell for over $50 with shipping on...

Also, the practice exam material was nearly identical to what I saw on the test.

My overall total score last April was within 2 points of my practice exam that I took this winter.  I'd say it's pretty accurate.  I only wish I was you and missed 6 questions per session.  Try missing half of them! 

Thanks guys.  JHW, what twists me up on the test is when they take one theory and mix it with another.  Say for example, a thermo problem using steam to push a lever that generates a force based on right angles and velocity.  There's so many variables it ends up getting the best of me.  I went...

Thanks for the great advice, guys.  I'm going to take a different approach to my final studies and write out the solutions step by step like some of you mentioned, learning as I go.  I'll keep you all posted. Mike

KRF,   I noticed you are having the EXACT same problem as me, almost down to a tee.  I took the practice exam this past weekend and did terrible.  I decided to make the following thread on here...

Thanks for the advice I appreciate it!  I'll continue to review the exam sample problems, their solutions, and do the 6 minute solutions. Mike

Hello All,    I haven't been on this site since I last attempted the Mechanical Systems and Materials PE in April of last year.  I made a valiant effort to pass the exam early last year.  I took the School of PE course, I studied as much as possible in my free time, essentially gave up a lot...

Thanks for the advice BLG, no offense at all. I thought the notes would help me, but it wasn't even worth bringing them.

Also, I may try and get a full refund from School of PE, the material was way off and my class notes were essentially useless.

Failed here too, first time....37/80. I had less than 2 months from exam approval to study, and put waaaay too much faith in School of PE. If School of PE was worth it's salt (and the $1,000 spent), I think I'd have scored better. I did every practice problem and troubleshooted wrong answers...

Epically failed. I guess there's next time...

I love how at any given point there are 22 people lurking on this board right now. It shows something LOL.

PA Board be like: "Goteem! HA!"

This really sucks. I hope I don't have to do this again (my gut's telling me I will after that dreaded afternoon session).

What about the warm liquid goo phase?

Thanks, Jesse.

Somebody above mentioned that there was a "snafu" last year with respect to grades that were passing and should have failed and vice versa. I'm sure some big whig government nutjob put some plan in place to have a meeting between PCS, NCEES and the state to make sure it doesn't happen. Of...

I got the same e-mail from them. This is torture, I just want it over with whether or not I passed!
