Is The Electrical Engineeer's Guide to passing the power PE exam by Alexander S. Graffeo PE a good study tool there are a lot of book out there but for people who have pass the test find this book useful?

 
I passed the April 2014 exam, using the Graffeo as one of my main study guides. Heck yes it is a really good reference.

 
The book has two parts. The reference material and a sample test. The reference material is good. Nicely organized and a little of everything. But the sample test is not so good. It has a few errors and does not explain answers very well somethings just repeating the problem's answer word for word as its explaination rather than explain why that answer is the best.

So if you are going to get it, get it because you want to incorporate the reference material into your studies and do not get it for its sample test.

 
reference book is good for some section..NEC is not so good but illumination, 3 phase analysis , some of the machinery is decent...

binding on the book sucks...my pages literally fall apart. I have to get it to fedex to rebind it

Good source. Lighting section is good and he offers a fresh perspective on several topics. I recommend it and it came in handy during April's exam. BTW, Graffeo appears to be very diligent about sending out corrections.

I am selling mine too...I have to rebind mine since the original binding sucks. So mine has a ring binder

 
Has anyone got a copy of this book for sale? I was hoping to get it since I seem to hear a lot of good things about it.

Thanks in advance!
