Taking the PE Exam with ThermoFluids depth in April

[navyasw02]

When you say you ordered practice exams, did you order the NCEES exams? If not, do that now and take one of the practice exams immediately. You'll see that it's a lot easier than the practice stuff you're working with. Also do nothing but problems from here until the exam. If you can do about 100 problems a week, you'll be fine.

I ordered two exams; One from NCEES and one from Lindeberg. I have not received either. I wanted to work through the SMS modules before the practice exams but I'll consider doing one of the practice exams first. 100 problems a week sounds tough as some of the problems take me over an hour to complete. Few take less than a half hour.

Buy every NCEES exam you can, they're closest to the real thing. The 2001 and 2008 can be found used floating around. Every other practice test, problem set, etc is way harder. I think doing one of the NCEES tests will ease your nerves a bit.

I received the 2008 exam and you're right, it does not seem too difficult. I'm looking to buy the 2001 sample exam. I found this one on Amazon but I cannot tell whether it is the right one.

Do you know? Thanks

That's the 2008, the 2001 has a blue and white cover. You probably wont find it on amazon, you'll have better luck getting it on ebay or here from someone else.

K, I think I found one. This issue is not seperated by discipline (T/F, HVAC, or MD), is that right?

No the 2001 & 2008 have all three depth sections. Also the 2001 test has a disk with sample problems on it as well. I did not see a disk with the 2008 test.

They did not break them up until this year (which is a really lame move IMO). I can't really justify spending $70x3.
