    NC initial licensure

    Do they not let you know if they don't have everything they need? If the application is denied, do they just lay it aside and never contact the applicant? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    Chapter 25 Compressible Fluids

    I agree. And the MERM was sufficient for me. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    Time Gap FE to PE

    I took the FE in April 2010.  Just passed the PE in October 2017.  It was my first try, but I wish I'd had the option to take the PE in October 2010.  There are a few things I've learned in my work experience that helped me on the exam, but it wasn't worth having to re-learn all the stuff I...

    Chapter 25 Compressible Fluids

    I wouldn't worry about it.  It'll be a lot of work for not many points on the exam.  There's a reason it's usually thrown in as an afterthought in most fluids classes.

    NC initial licensure

    NCEES transmitted my info to NCBELS on 12/30.  Still waiting.

    If you passed, what review course did you take?

    Self-study only.  Passed ME TFS first try.  >90% of my study time was just working NCEES and Eng Pro Guides practice problems over and over and diving into the MERM when I hit problems I didn't know how to work.

    Deceptive Exam

    If it was easy, everybody would be a PE and it wouldn't have any value.

    How I Passed the Thermal / Fluid PE exam

    Another thing I did was to write the units for the answer choices beside the answers before I started working on the problem.  That served as a final reminder to check the units on my calculated answer against the units for the answer choices.  If you don't pay attention to your units, you're...

    How I Passed the Thermal / Fluid PE exam

    Passed TFS October 2017.  I finished undergrad in 2010 and have been working in power generation facilities ever since.  I've worked in coal-fired plants and simple cycle and combined cycle combustion turbine facilities.  I don't do real design work and don't do a lot of calculations.  Here's...

    OCTOBER 2017 PE EXAM

    TFS taker here.  I thought it was a little harder than the NCEES practice tests, but not a lot.  I studied the 2011 and 2016 tests, 6MS, and the eng pro guides study guide and test.  I thought the morning and afternoon were about the same difficulty.  Maybe I was just less nervous in the...

    Feel good about how you did on the exam?

    For Mech TFS I had the MERM, Crane 410, Keenan's steam tables, a binder with SI steam tables, unit conversion book, and a binder with the MERM index, 11x17 psych chart and some misc cheat sheets I made with frequently used conversions/formulas I found myself using while studying.  I only cracked...

    Feel good about how you did on the exam?

    Sounds like you civil guys have it a lot harder with respects to required references.  I had all my stuff in a little tote bag like you get for collecting freebies at a conference.

    Feel good about how you did on the exam?

    That was just me personally, so take it with a  grain of salt.  I think it had more to do with my strong subjects being light on the practice exam, but showing up more on the actual exam.  I don't know if that's really accurate, but it feels that way. I think the phases described in the OP are...
