I'm not sure about everyone else, but firstly, I'm glad its over! )
I thought the morning session was tough, I skipped to all of the NEC and low hanging fruit problems first, but for some reason it took me longer to find the NEC questions in the code than it did on the practice tests and that made me feel behind and rushed. I ended up flat guessing on a couple of questions at the end which I never did on any of the practice tests(NCEES, CI or Spin Ups)
I felt the afternoon was a little more straight forward and I was a little more settled and focused after the lunch break. Hit the low hangers and NEC questions again and got thru a little faster than the morning. Still guessed on a couple at the end, but felt a little less rushed and had more time to work the more difficult ones.
Overall, I thought the Power test was not very close to the practice tests, just my opinion. I thought the practice tests focused on some areas that were supposed to be a major portion of the test and there were not as many questions on those portions. I never scored under an 80% on any practice test, but I'm thinking 70% is going to be pretty close for me...I hope I made it and hopefully if you're reading this then you made it too!
Good Luck!
