 A good choice to boost confidence just before examSep 22, 2009
By Eddie
A great way to prepare for the actual exam especially for HVAC depth. Lindeburg's MERM is very light on HVAC topics but this six-minute book fills that void. Demonstrates good practice of using the ASHRAE Handbooks as well. There is also a decent covergae of qualitative questions as well. This is great since the real exam does contains some qualitative problems. A little bit more difficult than the real exam but it is well worth it. Highly recommended!

A Must-Have for HVAC-R Depth on the Mechanical PE ExamDec 19, 2011
By Gorbag
This book provides 85 questions that are very similar in length and quality to the kinds of problems you will find on the real exam. If nothing else it stresses the fact that you should be bringing your ASHRAE hanndbooks as well as possibly a few ASHRAE standards to the exam.
I made myself take this exam 3 times before the real test date. Each time I sat myself down and actually took the exam front to back only allowing myself two 4 hour sections to complete it. It really sharpens your timed test-taking skills. By the 2nd or 3rd time you take this test you should be able to finish the entire thing in 4-6 hours. At that point you should be wholly prepared to answer any exam question they'll throw at you in 6 minutes or less.
I think I only saw 1 error in my book and it was minor and already covered in the errata.

a must haveOct 06, 2010
By mech girl PE
When I took the exam in 2008, this was one of two books that I had on my desk with me for the majority of my references. When I went to turn my test in, I noticed people from all discipines also had this book on their desks. This book is great because it goes over almost every type of problem you'll have on the afternoon exam. If you go through these solutions and figure out how they came to the solution, you'll be thoroughly prepared for the afternoon exam.
Accurately portrays the actual level of difficulty of exam questions.Dec 30, 2011

Studying for the PE Exam, I used the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual (MERM), "Practice Problems for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam" and "Mechanical PE Sample Examination" by Lindeburg in addition to this book. I noticed that the level of difficulty of the questions in the books by Lindeburg was far greater than that of this book. However, after taking (and passing) the exam, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Six-Minute Solutions book accurately portrayed the actual exam questions, unlike the books by Lindeburg.
My advice: use the MERM in conjunction with the Practice Problems by Lindeburg first, then move on to other practice problems / practice exams by Lindeburg. By this point, you'll be in full panic mode. Then, move on to this book last and realize that the exam won't be anywhere near as hard as Lindeburg made it seem! Good luck!
