I found out at 5:15 tonight that I passed the power exam on my third try. I am in Louisiana and they were one of the last states to release today. I really thought I was going to have to wait over night for results. I made a 47/80 October 2018, 49/80 April 2019 and passed this time. I also took the FE exam in February 2018 and failed and in April 2018 and passed. So this was my 5th test within a two year window and I’m 11 plus years out of college.
I was really ready to give up after the April 2019 test. But I decided to give it one more shot. The difference this time is I took Zach Stones class. I still thought I failed and really wasn’t excited about getting my results back. But I think I was very close to passing both of the previous times and Zach’s course helped me get over the edge. I found myself in the live classes picking up on little tid bits here and there that I was not doing correctly. I also found that the way he taught 3 phase circuit analysis made it much easier. And I guess it was just enough to get me the Pass. Because one thing is certain, that test is fricken hard. I really don’t have much advice except to take Zach’s class if you failed and do as many practice exams as you can.
This forum has been very helpful as well. I will definitely stick around to help out where I can.
Congrats to everyone who passed. For those who didn’t it’s not the end of the world. I know it sucks. And I would know after receiving multiple fails in the last 2 years but all I can say is don’t give up and keep trying. For those still waiting for results I’m rooting for y’all.
