i did electronics, but what i learned from studying was that the more references i had, the better

I have both of those books but did not use Glover at all. It's seems like it's a decent book but much of it was duplicated in other references. Also, like some other college texts, it's not geared to teaching you how to quickly solve PE style problems. It's trying to teach you theory. I found Graffeo's book to be very helpful. It gets right to the point. Very good info on wattmeters, lighting, and motors - among other stuff.

BTW, I actually ordered Wildi after I took the test and wish I'd had it during the test. I passed anyway but I would have been more certain about certain questions. Explanations are very clear and concise. Doing some of the problems should have you well prepared for the PE.
