Ok, so like the rest of the Oct. '07 PE (Electrical) Test takers, we are gonna spend the next few months (mind you, the rest of the summer) studying.
I have some good questions that hopefully someone can answer:
1. Has anyone found any good PE EE sample exams on the web? There's gotta be some posted somewhere. Or for that matter, commonly used theory notes for the EE test.
2. What is the difference between the NEC Handbook vs. the NEC Code Book? Which is more useful and why? For example, did you use it to reference some Power Afternoon questions?
3. Did anyone find using the IEEE (red, blue, green, etc) book helpful as useful references?
4. Does anyone know what the major differences are in EERM's 6th edition vs. 7th edition? Is it worth to get the 7th version?
5. In Illinois, are we allowed to bring the Schaum's Power Systems Book to the exam?
6. Have you noticed any tricks/trends/patterns in making eliminations of choices right off the bat? For example, answer choices that are not similar in format with the rest of the choices.
7. Do you remember some odd/unheard-of/uncommon PE afternoon topics that they threw at you and you couldn't find anywhere in your reference books you brought with you? For example, FOA transformers?
Ok that's all I can think of for now. Good luck for those who haven't received their April '07 scores. I have a couple of colleagues who are going through the same mental torture of waiting.
