After having a momentary irregular heart beat 'cause I was thinking, "did I sign up for the Power module for the afternoon session?" :blink: I called ESLES to verify this: We select which module we want to work when we start the PM portion of the test - the test booklet has all the...

Any thoughts on whether a standard dictionary would be useful? I saw it on someone's list... I'd like to not bring two boxes of books... :p10940623:

What is a Tap - it is not in the definitions - but table 210.24 gives a wire size for Circuit wires and for Taps.

What is the NEC referring to in Art. 210-4 Multiwire Branch Circuits? Also, in 210.4(B) it uses the term "yoke" - what is a yoke? :reading:

I have the NEC 2005 Handbook, tabbed, and the NEC 2005 (codebook) - is there any need to bring both to the exam? Looks like I can just bring the Handbook?

What sections of the NEC will the questions come from? My guess it to look thru the conductor ampacitys, grounding, service entrance requirements - it is a big code book - do questions come from all over? What is your advice on studying the NEC?

If a person's PE was obtained in one discipline, EE for example, can that person practice as an ME, assuming that the person has studied and understands all about what they are designing/sealing?

Well, only 9.4 days left.... gotta ask another one! :rolleyes: (and I found the superscript/subscript buttons B) In a three phase unbalanced delta load, the total real power is either: the sum of (Vp-p2 / R) for each phase, or the sum of the I2R of each phase or leg. Both equations...

I'm confused by Camara's EERM. I've always blown off admittance because I can always take the recripocal of R and X and get them if a problem requires. However, I'm looking at the formulas in chapter 27, AC circuit fundamentals and it gives the formulas: G=1/R B=1/X These I use, as I said...

Have they removed illumination as a topic from the EE Power Depth Module of the PE? I don't see it listed in Camara's EERM.

I don't use the NEC in my job - I work for an electric utility (we use the NESC). Therefore, I know little of what is in the NEC. Do I need to bring a copy of the NEC into the exam? Will I need to look up a lot of stuff in it? :f_115m_e45d7af:

If you are one of those who just passed the EE PE, please tell us humble FE's what the secret to passing the PE is please! Or at least tell us what study material you used, and what you thought of it! :old-025:

Any tips for maintaining alertness for 2 x 4hrs.? I'm starting to freak out about trying to remember everything, and now I'm thinking about how to keep my brain focused. Lots of caffeine = lots of bathroom breaks? What did everyone do - any recommendations to make it 8 hrs.? :winko:

Questions for all: What were the facilities like when you took the exam? Did you have nice chairs, large tables, good a/c, or more like a dungeon? Where did you take the exam? Anyone take the exam recently at the Miami Hyatt Regency?

The NCEES handbook says that 5% of the General afternoon test is on biology - the Lindeburg book has nothing on biology and the $1200 worth of DVD's I bought from Dr. Blank has nothing on bio. I know 2.5% isn't much, but I'd sure like to know what to study. 5% of 120 questions is 6 questions -...

Can you bring a seat cushion into the exam? I believe I can think better if my butt doesn't hurt. :whipping:

Any tips for Dynamics - especially rotational dynamics? I've just about decided if I come across any questions on rotational dynamics I'm probably just going to guess and go on... I'm an EE, graduated in 1978 (yep, you maybe were mamas little baby then, or even daddys little squirt). I was...

I have been working thru many problems studying for the FE. I keep making stupid mistakes - just dropped the decimal point in an intermediate result - of course I get an impossible answer. Then I spend time looking for my error.......AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGFFFFFKKKK!!! I feel pretty damn stupid...

Anyone want to sell your used Dr. Blank FE/EIT videos? Anyone that used them have any opinions on them? I've been out of school for 29 years and I'm getting ready to start studying for the April FE. :p10940623:

I just learned about ENSYS.NET, a company that has an online review program for FE and PE exams. My girlfriend called them, and from her discussion with them, they say they are geared to those of us who have been out of school for a long time, and need to relearn, not review. Anyone out...
