Want to take the PE Mechanical exam

Summary:: Passed the FE, ready to take the PE.

Hello,

I had recently passed the FE exam, ready to start studying for the PE Mechanical exam. Does anyone recommend any specific study material? I just recently purchased the PE Mechanical reference textbook and looking into purchasing some study materials, but not sure which ones.

Would you recommend taking a class? Someone suggested Test Masters , however looking at their website it looks like they don't have any live video courses available for the PE Mechanical. I know three PE's and they all told me taking the class is well worth the money.

I wanted to hear more suggestions before I get pretty serious in my studies.

Do you have the required working time as EI to take the test?

Nope. You don’t need it though. You can take the exam right after taking your FE, however you can’t acquire the license until you have your five years of engineering experience.

In that case, I would recommend "Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Manual", as well as "Practice Problems for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam", both books written by Michael R. Lindeburg, PE.
