Yes passed the mech. mdm! Is it really considered the hardest of the mechanical paths?

It was not easy. To that I agree. I am just happy my efforts brought success. Lots of time sacrifice away from wife and kiddos. So happy I will not have to do that again. My wife is happy too!

I took it also and passed on my first try. I had friends recommend that I take the thermo test saying the scope is narrower. I've done "machine design" related work every since college, so I stuck with that.
Two weeks before the test I took the ncees practice and bombed it, I figured out where my mistakes were, but it completely discouraged me. The tricks got me on simple problems. The week of the test, I had come to the conclusion that I would be retaking it. The morning session went fair, I think I had to guess at 2 or 3 problems. I fully expected the afternoon session to be harder. But when I had about 30/40 questions answered with no guesses, it hit me that I could possibly pass. Then as I finished the last problem at 12 min. til, I almost shed a tear. I didn't have to guess and got what I felt was a legit answer for each question. I felt really good leaving. 6 weeks of waiting shed a little doubt on it, but I was very happy to see the pass yesterday.

I some how passed. Been out of school for 11 years and squeezed in as much studying as I could the two weeks before the exam inbetween moving into a new house and taking care of two kids. Not sure what I'll do with my PE license, it isn't worth a raise at my job, but I am damn sure proud of myself. That was a hard test!
