I used it as one of my reference books for the PE exam. I found it very helpful to find general stuff such as moment of inertia formulas, equations for beam deflection, etc.
I used the FE Quick Reference for the Mechanical PE Exam and it was helpful to answer a few of the morning questions. I tabbed the FE Quick Reference with the same color subject tabs that I used for the Quickr Reference for the Mechanical PE exam.
Good luck!

I solved every problem on the last two exam attempts with the MERM with the exception of one or two problems that I can remember.
In working the six minute solutions and NCEES problems I made an index of all the references I used by chapter. Then I went back through them and when I finished I only used the MERM (>90%), Shigley (bearings and gears), Marks, Machinery Handbook, my College Statics book, and the Lineburg conversions book. I guess the point is the fewer books you use to work example problems the better as time is a big factor on this exam.
