1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing review material., November 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Quick Reference for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam (Paperback)

I also bought this book as part of my review materials for the PE exam thinking that it would be a comprehensive summary of the equations used in each chapter. It is not. Maybe 20% of the material is provided. I didn't even bring it with me to the exam. You're better off making your own review sheets and spending your money on tabs for the Reference Manual (which is VERY good).

2.0 out of 5 stars Quick Reference for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam, January 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Quick Reference for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam (Paperback)

At first glance, this book appears to have omitted many useful equations. I purchased it to save the trouble of preparing my own quick reference "cheat sheets". Looks like I'll still have to prepare them.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is a good book, but I don't find myself using it., March 20, 2006

This review is from: Quick Reference for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam, Fourth Edition (Paperback)

It's true, all the equations are here, but since I used the big book (Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam) for all the studying, I find it easier simply to look back at that book for the equations. I suppose that if I learn all the things in the big book well enough that I don't need it, that this would be a good, handy, quick reference, but I just don't find myself using it. The big book is all I need.
