 Excellent refresher material October 25, 2009

Very good companion to the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for PE exam preparation. Many of the problems are more involved than you would expect for a timed exam, but they help to build the methodology required for analytical problems across mechanical engineering subject matter. I highly recommend this book as part of a comprehensive exam preparation plan.

This is a book of sample problems for the PE exam, except that they are already in the main book! The main book by the way is Awesome!

I worked through several of these problems before the exam. Most of the problems are harder than the problems on the exam, but that is a good thing.
This, and the on-line practice test from NCEES are all I used to study and I feel I was well prepared. The PPI problems help you get the knowledge of the material; while the NCEES problems give you a feel for timing, and what the exam problems are like.
The only thing that would make this more helpful for studying would be if it had difficulty or time ratings for each question. There were some areas of study I did not want to spend a lot of time on.
Don't take lots of books to the exam. All I used was the MERM (Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual) that accompanies this. It had what I needed to solve every problem except one.

I recommend this manual only as a means for working additional problems once you've exhausted your textbook sample problems. I just took the ME PE exam yesterday and the problems on the actual exam should take no longer than 5 minutes to work, IF you know what tools (equations, etc) to use. The sample problems in this book took me, on average, about 35 minutes each to work. 90% of them are far more difficult than anything you'll see on the actual exam.
I think time would be much better spent simply working the "easy" problems out of your old textbooks.

Book was fine condition but didn't get to do any of the practice problems before my exam, which I passed thanks to the reference book.
