[Equest-users] BEMP Exam

[Ömer Moltay]

Hi Kristy,

Thanks for the information. Your response now made me worry about the 
calculation part. What kind of calculations are required and does this 
mean that various equations have to be memorized? Just going through the 
ASHRAE Fundamentals section these days (especially Chapter 19 and the 
other chapters on heating / cooling load calculations), are there any 
questions that would require memorization of the information here?

Greetings,

Omer Moltay

My biggest challenge was that I felt there were too many questions for the time allotted.  I didn't have a chance to actually read and calculate every question.  I ended up passing, but felt very short on time.  I hope this helps you set your test-taking strategy.

Is reading and understanding everything once sufficient or should things like equations etc. be memorized? There is so much information in the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, I am not sure how to be selective regarding the chapters.

It provides a bit more information about which chapters of the reference material are relevant, but I find the study guide also not very indicative of the level of detail they want.
