<ul> <li>My best advice to all of you using the NCEES practice exams as study guides is to know how to work the problem as it written, and every other possible problem that you could possibly derive out of that problem.  I.e., if it asks for the voltage for some given circuit, know...

Seems like you guys have an answer, but for what it's worth, NEC section 250.53(A)(2) states that if the first one doesn't get you to less than 25 ohms, drive the second one at greater than six feet away from the first and call it a day. And by the way, who stole section 250.56 out of my 2011...

Looks like everyone is tracking pretty true to the Excel file. Mass picked up a few days since last year. That means VA stinks and it will probably be late Dec/early Jan.! What could possibly take them so much longer than other states?

The process here: 1-Look up results 2-Discover that no results have been posted for VA 3-Remember food in refrigerator from Christmas luncheon 4-Eat a snack 5-Lightly entertain working 6-Remember that I haven't looked up results in the last few minutes 7-Repeat 1-6 every 10 minutes I...

Can't get into MyNCEES this morning in VA. Just keep getting spinning wheel. Updating? I can say for sure that while I really want to see "PASS" on my results, I am very happy for all of you that have gotten the good news so far, and for those whose good news is yet to come. Congratulations...

I will begin by stating that I fully understand and agree with the confidentiality aspect of this process. BUT, what I continue to have a problem with is that manner of which our specific proctor/spokesperson communicates the information concerning the "agreement". I went through several stabs...

Yep, and that in itself was kind of a shock. I was expecting to go into an extension of the morning session, but felt like the difficulty level jumped noticeably.

I can honestly admit that I squandered precious time when I should have been working problems in preparation for the exam. I felt pleasantly surprised after the first half, and thought during lunch that if the afternoon were at least as fruitful, I'd be getting the "Congratulations" version for...

Maybe this is a last minute panic attack, since I already walked away from this one before satisfied that had it down, but... Why doesn't the abbreviated version as provided in Ugly's or Ferm's work for this problem? Their shortcut version states that Vd=(Sq rt 3*K (for copper)*L*I)/cm...

Thanks for the info!

Well, even though I have enough tabs in this Camara book to sink a ship, I've heard enough of my co-workers (mechanical) say that having a hard copy of the index of your main reference book(s) (Lindeburg, Camara, etc.) in your binder is a valuable time saver. With that being said, has anyone...

I know we're down to the wire, Aerofrank, but someone clued me in on an excellent cross reference of NEC, and you get a second book of calcs, tables, etc. for $50. It's called Ferm's Fast Finder, and it's basically a cross reference of the NEC in the most commonly used key words for every topic...

Super. Thanks for the help!

Here's the low hanging fruit for the day for somebody: Question 501 in the latest Electrical: Power NCEES sample question book asks for the voltage magnitude at the secondary terminals of a single-phase transformer, provided resistive load value (kW), voltage at the load, distance from...

310.16 includes raceway (conduit), cable, as well as direct buried.
