The real exam is drawn from a database. I don't know why there's only one, but the practice exam gives a decent representation of the real exam. 

Double-check the NCEES website, but last I read a few months ago was that the NCEES practice exam doesn't change. If you buy it a second time, you get the same exam again. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I passed the FE in March using Lindeburg's FE Electrical and Computer Review Manual. I'd recommend using your systems and controls books from school to supplement the manual Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Also, if you can get through the PMBOK once, it's beneficial. It's truly the cure for insomnia, but it's good to get your eyes on it.

I recommend both Head Start PMP and Rita Mulcahy's book. Read Head Start first to get an intuitive understanding of the process and it's logic. It's a pretty easy read, but I needed more depth to feel comfortable for the exam. That said, I'm particular and I'm generally not comfortable knowing...

Best of luck! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I barely (if ever) used the Camara book for studying, but absolutely abused it during the practice and live exams. I also recommend the Complex Imaginary exam books. I didn't have time to use the NEC code drill book and passed all the same, but I've heard good things about it. You'll...

Welcome neighbor

Thank you both

The phase angles are used for voltage drop equations, but are of particular importance if you have a complex impedance.

The fault between XL and XT2 puts anything beyond the fault (in this case, XT2 and Xm) in parallel with a short to ground. An impedance in parallel with a short to ground will carry virtually no current since the current will all travel down the short (the path of least resistance).

You're right. I don't know where my head was at the time.

The phase shift only applies when converting between wye and delta. Also, the VR formula uses the voltage magnitudes. Ea should be the generated voltage per phase.
