Added an EE salary

@Baconator said in a different thread that the cut score was 57.. But maybe he was talking about the pass rate because that's what it ended up being..? Who knows 

Protective Relaying by Blackburn was pretty good. I read part of it, not a bad read.  Also, I watched a ton of YouTube videos posted by relay vendors about protective relaying and that helped temendously (especially understanding reclosers, etc.). 

Whatever name is on your "Approval Letter" from the WA DOL should be what you use (as they say that is the name that will appear on your wall certificate). I am still waiting for my license number, I called them yesterday and the guy said he was working on Civil at the time, Electrical would be...

See, I saw numerous people taking the Electrical Power PE that had almost no references, an NEC code book that was 7 years old, or not even having the NESC.. It's literally impossible to answer 20 percent of the questions without the proper references for the power PE. They are full of it

I think I got them all right too, there was one question in particular though... it pissed me off. It was meant to trip you up. Wish I could go into more detail buuuut obviously I can't.  Prior to studying for this exam I had never touched any code before, so I thought that the Tom Henry's...

I thought the code questions in this exam were very tricky (especially that ONE B*LL SH*T question). Do you have Tom Henry's Code Index? It's amazing. It saved me and helped me pass. My most used reference during the exam for sure.  I also had a book on protective relaying that I read a bit and...
