Ha ha ha.
gEEk,
I used the following reference material for the exam:
Power System Analysis, Grainger/Stevenson -- Great resource for this exam.
Electric Machinery and Power System, Chapman -- Has all the fundamentals of power and motors
Handbook of Electric Power Calculations, Beaty -- Great reference for all kinds of power and lighting calcs.
EC&M's Electrical Calculations Handbook, Paschal -- Has some very useful equations, tables, and diagrams.
NEC, NFPA -- The handbook version was very useful for the exam.
NCEES Power Practice exam -- I spent most of my time working the problems in this book.
Complex Imaginary Practice exams -- They have a set of exams. Problems are much easier than the real exam but they review important information.
Electrical Machines, Drives and Power Systems, Wildi -- I didn't use this to study but was very handy for reference on the exam.
Misc. documents -- I had a binder full of miscellaneous information for specific topics that I thought might be on the exam.
Hope that helps.

Haha, I know, I've been through the state.Dude, we barely have running water in Alabama. :bag:He's Alabama, guess they don't have a thread.
Congrats on passing!I did not have the same ref. material, but if I had to take it again I would use archian99's stuff. I was wishing I had the Wildi book BADLY. I did poorly on the drives problems due to a lack of good ref. material.
Can't comment on the Wildi book, but everyone on these boards raves about it. In its' absence I used Electric Machinery Fundamentals by Chapman, which is a decent substitute as I was able to find alot of useful formulas during the exam.
