This is a pretty high stakes exam.  Sure, you be fine in most cases and no one questions it.   But if the specter of irregularities is ever raised, do you want to be in that position of having to defend a choice you were flatly warned against in a fight against corporate entity who is know to...

I'm assuming that sketch is supposed to be a center tap on the 480V delta leg?

I actually found the Wildi's book to be mostly / entirely relevant.  Its also not heavily theoretical and worded in simple language making it easy to breeze through.  If you can manage... Id recommend it all. The other book, Power System Analysis..., now that I'd recommend just finding a...

If the question asks for the NEC, you use the NEC.  If the question doesn't ask for the NEC, you use Ohms Law (with impedance).

I'm guessing Rebecca B and her boyfriend broke up... she hasn't logged in since the Friday she made this post.  No more then 5 minutes after she made her post none the less!  

I don't believe I offered any material for sale...   I think you are talking about Surf and Snow. Unless you are asking for copyrighted material or similar.  My mailing address is 935 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20535.  Please address it to the Intelligence Division (i know, Its a corny...

I'd recommend all of them.  Every test you have time to take. They all emphasize different skill sets and knowledge.  For me, the least useful was the NEC Code Drill , but I've used the NEC every day for the past 11 years.  Its kind of my thing.   Just realize the problems in the sample...

It should be noted that no sample exam will take you 8 hours to complete. The majority of the sample exams are rudimentary / fundamental and can be completed (both their "morning" and "afternoon" sessions) in about 3-4 hours time.  Some even quicker.    Still, its a enormous time sink, but...

Unless he gets the NCEES Survey email a week or two after the test date.  If he gets that, NCEES was so disappointed in his test score they actually lit in on fire and threw it in the trash bin out of disgust.  (There may or may not be maniacal laughter in the background as they dance around it...

Most of this is pretty good.  Resources are pretty cheap (outside of the code books). https://www.electricalpereview.com/recommended-references-resources-electrical-power-pe-exam/

Well you could... no... not going there. But realistically just being patient, flexible, supportive (and provide a kick in the *** if he stops studying).   Its an incredibly nerve racking prep session.  You should expect that: He will become increasing nervous, frustrated, and self-doubting...

Are you asking for free stuff?  Or asking what to use?   There is a post that covers generally what people have found (including myself) to be fairly useful in the PE power forums...  I'll try and dig it up and post it here.  

This I think is an overall bigger issue then just the #metoo movement though.  In general, we assign pretty and marketable faces (male and female) to rally the common folk behind.  Then *que surprise*  we find out that the individual (whether it be a sports star, politician, religious leader...

Informative Annex F of the National Electrical Code.  

If you follow the sample NCEES sample questions, you will be in good shape.  But keep in mind which year the NCEES has active for each document you bring.  They will not ask from an "old" code year and the latest edition may not actually be what the test is on.  (They haven't generated new or...

Always good to ask the board.  Full Disclose:  I actually don't know anything specific about TN per say. I was mostly just teasing about Tennessee in particular.  :)  

Yea.  I heard some states like Arkansas and Tennessee only allow computer printed text even though its not officially published as a requirement.   Would really suck to be in one of those states and show up and have all your notes confiscated.     :hung-037:

Generally speaking I have heard that hand written notes are not permitted and get collected. I guess in part, how can a proctor prove you didn't write down test questions or answers in a pad filled with hand written gobbleygook?

Because the testing facility is supposed to make sure the environment is fair for all takers. The ncees specifically permits only certain items, so you put the proctors in a situation where they are supposed to interpret what ncees may or may not have intended and also create a advantage for...

Never mind... I'm not sure where my head was on that!
