Wow, just finished it and let me say no one was boasting about the difficulty.
Both morning and afternoon section I had about 12 problems unfinished.
I think the main problem was that the problems I knew well, still took quite a few steps to solve and so I ran out of time. This was especially the case in the afternoon Thermal Fluids section. I am going to used it to help me hone in on problem areas. I also think it made me more aware of just working problems you know you can solve and skipping the ones you can't see the solution easily.
Ended up with a score of 41/80.
I have the NCEES Sample Exam as well and I plan on working some problems during the week in 1 hour sessions. I am hoping everyone is correct that the real thing isn't as tough (as the Lindeburg) or I am dead meat.
