Obviously this is a personal decision, but I am hoping for some input from those who have taken the Power and/or Electrical & Electronics exams to help me decide.
I got my EE degree about 10 years ago and I have not sat for any PE exams previously. My work experience has touched on some topics listed on both of these exam specs from NCEES (as well as a little bit of Civil), but without a lot of depth in any particular area.
It appears there are a lot more options in review courses for Power, but I have little to no practical experience with 3-phase, medium/high voltage or rotating machines. I also felt more comfortable with the DC circuit analysis than AC when I took the FE exam in April, and I know I could brush up on things like Boolean algebra again pretty easily.
On the other hand, the Electrical & Electronics exam appears to cover a much more varied set of topics, which appears to be challenging to prep for in only a few months.
I noticed that most of the posts on this board are related to the Power exam. Is there a reason that so many go that direction? Sorry for the long-winded first post. I appreciate any input or advice you can offer.
