At least for me, I am going to spend more months December-February.March studying at the minimum to reinforce concepts because I didn't study for an exam with none of my references allowed. TLDR, I am not taking it right away, and delaying until February/March. I want to make sure I have a...

Yeah not sure if I will sign up to take it December right away. While knowledge of the concepts is the same, in a way, its a completely different exam. I will need to practice using the PDF document and that alone to solve practice problems now and pretend as if nothing else exists. Formulas...

The rate things are going, I would not be surprised if the fall one is also pushed out. My company had 5 different Waves we planned on returning people to company property with. Wave 1 was in June and Wave 2 just started in July but they already canceled Wave 3-5 for the rest of the year. Our...

I find myself in an opposite corner actually, I use the NESC every day but I have never seen the NEC /NFPA until I started studying for this exam; needless to say it was an eye opener. I think the tips above are definitely great sections, nothing of value from me to add.

Yeah the cram exams are no joke. I have learned a considerable amount just from them. Especially relations between equations I hadn't  considered and when I saw it I almost face palmed at how obvious it was...

Whoa 50%  pass rate? Is that the lowest it's been for first time takers ? Just curious

Nope. I work for a utility company so the PE isnt even required for anything and it's never used. We dont even have the NESC on hand because we have it distilled into our standards book so anything NEC and NFPA was foreign to me until I started studying.

First time 48/80. NFPA in Amazon cart now, to burnt ( literally) after the spring 2020 exam

48/80 Failed first time. When I saw the two categories that got me me the most I wasnt surprised. The NFPA questions I know I missed the 4 or so and thats my fault for taking the risk of not buying it. Then batteries got me on devices. Overall just disappointed but seeing my score j am ready...

We won't know. If people guessed correct on a lot of the conceptual questions it will probably be 55-59. If everyone as a whole did poorly, probably 50-54. Just my thoughts.

I had to random guess on about 8 total and an additional 5-6 were educated guesses? I simply just didn't know the answer and I wasn't able to find a reference on some or I couldn't find a way to link my equations to a solution. Confident on some of the math but their baited answers could have...

Wow, that EPER exam kicked my butt. I did ok on the Eng Pro Guide Exams and the NCEES exam but EPER one got me good... I really need to sit and thoroughly cover some of the solutions and reevaluate my understanding.

@cupojoe PE PMP and @Ken PE 3.0 Thanks for the input and suggestions! I was able to find more specific information about one of the topics previously mentioned, here in these forums: This thread and its attached PDF helped for the Transformer Ratings: Thanks for the advice TNPE, I will take...

Good Evening, I have just begun my studies for the Power PE and I just purchased the book by Graffeo. However, I did notice quite a few people mentioning several key topics that were missing. I was wondering if any of you have found resources to use as reference / studying for these other...
