This review is from: Practice Problems for the Mechanical Engineering Pe Exam: A Companion to the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual (Paperback)
This is an absolute must have for anyone taking the Mechanical PE. This (and the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual) is the only thing I used to study for the exam and passed the first time. It shows the solutions to all the practice problems in the MERM and works them out in great detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Things to know before purchasing this manual and sample exam, March 25, 2007
By 
This review is from: Practice Problems for the Mechanical Engineering Pe Exam: A Companion to the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual (Paperback)
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 dissapointed to read that the Sample exam is not reflective of the actual PE exam. I too just bought this for the purpose of taking a timed practice exam but now will send it back and find a more appropriate practice exam.

"I was going to take the PPI ME sample exam under timed conditions but thank goodness I flipped through it first. As soon as I saw the SI units I knew it wouldn't be representative of the NCEES exam, at least in that regard. I saw it as being pointless working problems in the SI system since they won't be on the real exam and all my studying has been in the English system."

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!
