May be a silly question. They provide you pencil and eraser? How many pencils do they provide you? How about the sharpener? 

Curious what the font size is of the actual exam? My eyes are borderline right now so wondering whether I should carry reading glasses. The font size is very comfortable in NCEES practice exam. If the actual exam is close then I won't need reading glasses. Just curious  Also, can you take 2...

Power flows from Gen to Bus A to B to C. If there is fault in CB 6 then CB 8 can not be back up. If power flew in both directions then 8 could be back. I think in above case, if 6 fails to open then 4 should be next back up. Since 5& 6 are in the same zone. 

I am going through complex imaginary code drill problem book. In the answer key, the page reference number does not match, code reference does match. I wish both were correct that way you can verify your answer. Can someone confirm this is problem or I am missing something.  

My only problem with this book is, it is wordy and author has solved problems like you write text book in lines.   Problems should look like problems not text. In any case, I would spend little time in looking over so you know where to find the information as the information is presented in a...

I'm going through Wayne Beaty second time and finding it useful. For those of you, if you have time and looking for more practice, please get this book, may be able to find under 30 bucks on ebay. I did not like it the first time because of wordiness but as you prepare more, you also know more...

Have you used anything besides CI drill book to prepare for NEC code problems? or Just reading and following the CI drill guidance and then work all the practice and this should prepare you for the code problems?  Code is my weaker area. Thanks

So far I have done Spinup, Complex Imaginary, Graffeo, ENgPROguide exams. A lot of people know spinup is very basic, leave that aside. Even in the other practice tests, I have not seen problems on equivalent diagrams of induction motor, transformer, AC/DC motors. Iron losses, copper losses...

katy,  I haven't even started preparing for code problems yet for April exam. I just got CI drill book and busy with going through other material. If you allot a week or two to code problem is that enough? studying 1 hour on weekdays and 5-6 hours on weekend. I bought Tom's Index, did you use...

Thanks Katy, that's very helpful summary.  So it looks like you can write on your question paper? Is this correct? When do you bubble answer sheet? As you go? or at the end? or you can bubble 5 or 10 at a time?

Going from paper based to CBT will be a huge change. I'm thinking it will take few exams before they figure out the right difficulty level where certain percentage of people pass. Kind of like curving or relative scoring.  This may be advantageous for folks like us as we get to try paper based...

Wildi is a great book. It covered concepts but then immediately it is followed by examples which is what we need for PE because PE is more going to be about solving problems. First few chapters are great but when it gets into power electronics then I find Wildi goes on and on and I ended by...

You are right about this. I may have different opinion but I will agree when you make an logical argument.  If you have time then you have time and you will never know how much time you have until the exam is over.  It is better to use it searching than not do anything. I encourage people to...

You are not making it easy 😂 I made up my mind that if you can not find from 4-5 reference material then chances are that 1. You won't know where to find 2. You won't be able to find 3. You won't have time to find. 

People recommend a lot of things. I bought Ned Mohan and I am not even going to read it, it is so dense in theory which will be way beyond the PE exam. We should buy the books which are recommended by a lot of people. Handful of people can find anything useful doesn't mean it is for everybody is...

Could you care to share what you found useful and easier to read over grainger? 

I'm thinking of the below 1. NEC code book with Tom's index 2. NESC 3. NFPA70E 4. Graffeo 5. Wildi 6. Grainger 7. Camara 8. FE electrical and economics sections.  8. Personal binder I think this should be enough, what do you guys think? If you can't find something through these many...

Electrical Machines drives and power systems by Wildi's book is superb. It is the only book I am enjoying and learning from it. Wildi has given a lots of good problems and answers at the end of each chapter one can expect to help with concept understanding.  I can't believe someone can write a...

why can't we create a group here? learn/share from each other?
