    State Boards Giving out personal info?

    I get mail from them all the time and I'm not even in the Civil field. Like why!?!?!

    State Boards Giving out personal info?

    Coincidentally after applying for licensure by comity in a few states recently, I'm getting emails about CE courses and physical mail from stamp companies, etc. Some Nigerian phishers also seem to have gotten ahold of my email and I'm receiving multiple emails from them each day. I do not use my...

    Tips for Maryland Test Takers

    Interesting. Anyone else take it April 2018? If I'm recalling correctly, I brought a wrist watch and they would not allow them. They had the large countdown clocks the whole exam so maybe that's why. But it would be nice if they were consistent!

    HVAC Reference Material version

    Yes, I did have one reflecting the older format. I might have looked at a few problems but didn't really take it as an exam. Once you get a good handle on the type of problems and topics that will be on the exam you can pull practice problems from various sources accordingly.

    HVAC Reference Material version

    I took the exam last April and started out with the 1998-2001 set before I found a co-worker to loan me the newer set. I would say it is better to have the newer set but it's hard to say if it would be the deciding factor between pass and fail. If you can rent or borrow them, get them! Shelling...

    HVAC and Refrigeration Advice

    I had a very similar reference list. I did not have 6MS but I had the Engineering Pro Guides HVAC&R practice exam and various notes/equations from the Eng Pro Guides Technical study guide.  A little late to get his study guide but I would look into the practice exam. He also has an...

    HVAC Test Taking Strategy

    I at least tried every problem in order. If my progress stalled I moved on immediately (super important!). I "finished" each section with plenty of time to go back to the 5-10 questions I couldn't solve the first time.  I would definitely solve the ones you feel good about first time around...

    I'm still celebrating

    It was a great way to kick-off the summer, finding out right before Memorial Day weekend. I'm riding this high as long as I can...lol.

    HVAC Pass rate

    I just passed on my first try. I also used the eng pro guides study guide and practice exam. Almost bought the references practice exam as well and I'm sure it's a good one. Being familiar with the ASHRAE books is crucial! Make sure you tab the important sections and think about key words when...

    State License Roster / Lookup

    But...but...I'm so used to being a nervous wreck. I don't like this feeling of normalcy! 🤣

    State License Roster / Lookup

    I just checked MD, still has me listed as an EIT. They said I will get my # in the mail within 2 weeks. I wonder how long until it's on the list?

    How are you celebrating if you pass?

    Stop asking relevant questions lol.

    How are you celebrating if you pass?

    Think I'll still get a raise if I stroll in fashionably late the next day?  :B

    HVAC/R Exam in April, 2018

    I felt and still do feel pretty good about it. But of course the self doubt is starting to set in. Maybe I made a bunch of dumb mistakes etc. Although it was a lot different than practice exams and problems I did, I felt it was more straight forward with the wording.  Hoping to God I don't...

    Watches?

    Yep. The timers were nice to have! But I'm still butthurt I spent $11 on a watch from Amazon  :laugh:  It shouldn't be that hard to make the rules more clear on the exam authorization.

    HVAC/R Exam in April, 2018

    I'm with you! AM there were only 2 I had to completely guess on, PM there was maybe 4. I'm sure I got some others wrong as well, but overall I left feeling more confident than expected. Kind of scares me!

    How many references are you bringing?

    I think with the format change a few years ago, the exams are now more in depth. I'm studying for the HVAC&R exam and have come across countless problems that I need to reference the ASHRAE books.  I'm bringing: -2017 ASHRAE Fundamentals -2016 ASHRAE HVAC and Equipment -2015 ASHRAE HVAC...

    Watches?

    I guess it would be NCEES. Yes, it's in MD.

    Watches?

    Thanks guys. You'd think they'd be a little more clear on the subject. But I will bring an analog watch and put it where I am told lol.

    Watches?

    The information regarding watches on my exam authorization is rather conflicting. Top section: "1. No...watches....or any other electronic devices may be worn on the wrist. 3. The test site will have large timers available to keep track of time." Bottom section: "Wear a watch and turn off the...
