For those taking the October, 2019 exam - this is the 9 week mark before the exam. Guess what!? You still have lots of time left to prepare! This is exactly how many weeks I had to prepare between when I signed up and when I took the exam back in 2017. YOU GOT THIS!! I wrote up my 9-week study...

I feel this is very accurate and agree with your thoughts!

Something else I did was condense my binders. I originally 'over-stuffed' my binder and it wasn't easy to navigate. I ended up making a second, 'auxiliary' binder where I put the same tabs, but put 'extra' or 'duplicate' info. So, say there were two nearly identical practice problems - I'd put...

I can't help too much with this as I haven't read the MERM (lucky me!). I didn't study from a book though (there's an electrical equivalent to the MERM, also massive and complex). I studied by doing practice problems and exams, then seeking info on areas I struggled with. I found the Eng Pro...

I started out with the idea for formula sheets - thinking I'd want a bunch of them in my binder. I quickly realized though that they aren't all that useful if you haven't worked problems with them and familiarized yourself. I went the route of focusing on practice problems and practice exams...

Hello! I'm not civil, but I did compile a list of resources that I vetted as best I could through research and discussions with others. There are a couple of Civil Exams in the Civil section at the bottom of the page. I think you are on the right track looking for practice exams! Do as many...

Hello! I just compiled a list of mechanical resources. You seem to have maybe not yet found the Engineering Pro Guides study guide and practice exam? His study guides have practice problems in them. I found his study guide & practice problems really useful on the Power PE. I also used his...

Links to all the exams I bought are located here. I also included some additional links at the bottom of that page to exams that I didn't buy, but wish I had. I may be missing a few in that list, but it covers a lot! Good luck! 😃

I did not take an online course as part of my studying. It is a really personal thing as to whether that style of learning will jive with you. I ended up taking a very hands-on, reference-material-prep focused approach instead of a review course. I think a big reason for this was that the review...

Hey! I laid out the order I did all the practice problems in in my step by step of my study method. In the write up, I detail out my thoughts on my order and things I would change. Also,  I wrote up some 'reviews' of sorts of the materials I used, to hopefully help guide people who are looking...

Thank you! I worked pretty hard on that, glad someone else is getting some use out of it! (realized this may confuse others - I posted a downloadable PDF of the table of contents I used for my reference binder on my website for others to use)

I have not taken his course. (stop reading here if you wish =P). However, I used his study guide and practice exam and found his material to be very useful and I liked it a lot. I imagine his prep course is of similar style/quality.

I did not take an online course as part of my studying. However, on this forum, I have seen a lot of love for the Zach Stone material. I used a lot of the Engineering Pro Guides material (books/exams) in my studying and liked his take/approach a lot. He now offers a review course, and I would...

That's where it was in October 2017 as well! (couldn't remember the name of the place until you said it)

I remember having a heck of a time actually getting an answer for the exact exam location. I ended up staying in a hotel near THIS trader joes. It wasn't a long drive from there to the testing area. I'm sure there is closer hotels, i'm also sure I was looking for the cheapest hotel, ha!

There's a section further down on the site that lists the 'full power PE package' and from that it isn't clear to me if/how they are different. I'm sure Justin will weigh in though! Supplemental Power References Exam 40 supplemental questions that specifically test NEC® and NESC® code...

Good luck everyone taking in October 2019!! You got this!! I passed the Oct 2017 Power PE, and wrote up my approach in a website format to share with people with they asked 'how did you pass'? My basic approach was to focus almost 100% on solving problems (vs. reading books or watching...

I actually applied for my license directly with the State I was in originally, and then started filling out the NCEES. This meant I only had to meet the direct requirements of the state (I believe it was 3/5 references had to be PE), instead of the broader conservative requirements of NCEES...

Congrats on the pass!!

I passed October 2017, and I wrote up my whole detailed approach in a website format (o.w. it'd be a multi-page wall of text in a forum format like this). Future test takers - PM me if you're interested or have questions. Congrats to all who passed April 2019!!!!!!!
