Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Helpful for Studying
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - not representative of exam grade questions
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Didn't get to use it
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.
Rating: - Things to know before purchasing this manual and sample exam
The practice problems are all written in SI and English units yet there will only be in English units on the Mechanical PE exam. All problems have both units, however if you are interested in becoming proficient with conversions this may actually distract you. This could be confusing to someone studying and trying to improve the ability to work in different systems.
Be particularly aware of the sample exam. The following quote is an excerpt from a forum on the exam which I just read. I am ... Read More
Rating:  - Good PE Review Material
I recommend this book if you are studying for the PE exam. The problems are numerous and relevant. The solutions are easy to follow.
You do NOT need to have Lindeburg's study guide to use the Practice Problems. He does refer to the appendices in his study guide (steam tables, etc) by page number, BUT if you have the reference elsewhere (which you should), you can do all the problems in the book.
