crunch time

[matt267 PE]

Well- maybe I got tricked a lot... But I didn't thunk it too bad (thermal and fluids). Then again, I've been having flashbacks the past two nights and have been questioning some of my answers (is there a 'doubt' phase of post-exam stress?).

Yes, "doubt" is one of the many phases. You're progressing nicely.

The doubt is definitely settling in. For me, the morning session seemed a bit harder than the afternoon session, but that was mainly due to me having focused my study on areas that weren't hardly included in the morning exam. Seems a bit reversed from how I imagined it would be.

Nah don't waste your time doubting yourself. It is what it is at this point. Enjoy your free time now!

"...It also publishes practice exams designed to familiarize examinees with the material they can expect on exam day."

I think they all get a good laugh anytime they think someone might have believed that.

Do we have anyone here who took Mechanical Systems and Materials depth exam for second/third time?

While we wait for results, let's head over to the "games" section of the site. The spamfest (aka 10K) thread is a tradition around here. Follow me: http://engineerboards.com/index.php?showtopic=25794

^What he said!

Just wondering. Who took the PPI mechanical practice exam before the PE? What did you get the first time? I got a 57% with HVAC as afternoon module. Thought it was hella hard. PE exam was easier... Thank God!

 

[denver1000 PE]

I did the ppi MD practice... got around 70 but to be honest I felt it easier than the actual exam. Maybe it was just the fatigue or something because I didn't bother simulating exam conditions or trying to do the am and pm samples back to back. I did finish it in about 4 hours.

Oh wow! If you got through the first half of the ppi exam without too much trouble, you probably did well on the PE exam. You thought the the PE morning was more difficult than PPI morning?

 

[denver1000 PE]

Nope the morning was way easier than the ppi. I honestly felt the MD afternoon session was harder than the ppi test. I don't know how I did to be honest.... felt ok after the test but now I'm feeling like I got chewed and spat out!

 

[DontStopBelieving]

Yeah after taking the PE I felt like punching everybody who told me it was easier than the FE. However I do feel it was easier than FE just way harder than I was expecting! ugh!

 

[denver1000 PE]

Well it was less of a grind... I took the 8 hour fe back in the day but there is no way in hell I would say it was easier than the fe!!!

 

[DontStopBelieving]

Yeah. I'd never want to take the FE again. However, if I failed PE, I think I'll get the best of it the second time roun'.

[denver1000 PE]

I think I got to learn a lot on how to interpret the messages here

I get some bad feeling as I read more msges on the forum. Ppl are saying am was good and they had to guess 2 or 3 in PM. If I were one of them, I would be super sure about my success. But unfortunately I am not one of them, I guesses many Today at suddenly one question came to my mind and I googled the answer just to find out that I answered it wrong :brickwall:
