Have you heard of testmasters? I took their EE class a year ago in Texas and took the test in CA. I had already taken the test once and the first time I took PPI (which was useless in my opinion). They offer Civil courses as well. I seriously can't say enough about this course. They tell you...
Anyone have a copy of IEEE 1106 and 450? I need these standards to create testing procedures for stationary batteries at a substation my company is installing. I know I can go to the site to download them for a price but wanted to try here to see if any of you fellow EE's had a copy. Thanks!
Hey Eringharvey the book I used this past April was Stephen J. Chapman's 'Electric Machinery and Power System Fundamentals.' The best thing about this book is that he's not a PHd so he explains things in "real engineer" talk. It's a bit pricey unless you can find a copy in soft paper back. Aside...
Hey Stuckin I just recently took the Testmasters course in Houston for the Electrical Power Section and I honestly can't say enough about this program. I passed on my second try which was this past April. The first time I took the exam I tried using The Other Guys and come test day practically...

I'll let you know. I'm taking the EE-power course in Houston this March. I took their EIT prep course and it was flat out the best prep course I ever took. They just drill you on problems until your eyes bleed (not sure if that's a good thing). I took PPI this past October and failed. We'll see...
I really do think this book is a very useful tool. Some of the parts I find pretty difficult to follow since the author skips a few steps. This is my second time taking the exam and I didn't use this book as much as I should have. The great thing about this book is the industrial type of...
Thanks a bunch dark night. I pretty much studied for 4 months this past April and didn't passed. The funny thing was that I felt confident I passed which concerns me. I'm going for another shot in April and hopefully I will get it this time around.
