i am in the same boat.  it's near impossible to study at home with kids yelling/crying wife yelling at them.  and working full time.... what's discouraging sometimes too is some of the practice problems in books/sites are soo lengthy and difficult.  It's necessary to work through them to see...

that is a good recap.  i generally followed the same thing. but i would say, do not ignore too much generators.  the analytical questions on the exam might be difficult if you ignore it.

i brought and will bring again, plenty of notes and paper with pencil on them.   they  provide a pencil during the exam and you CANNOT write on anything but the test booklet during the exam. of course you can write on the question paper during the exam, how else would you plan on solving the...

one last thing i would mention.....i brought a decent amount of books to the exam, some i hadn't opened in a while, and 1-2 that i had opened maybe once since owning them a good idea to do, maybe a week or two before the exam, go through everything you're bringing, even if quickly.  you'll...

yes i had post it notes in my NEC book to mark pages, no one checked and therefore no one cared.

easy.  480/2 * 1.73 = 415

when i took the exam, they didn't check binders or notes at all.  i think they just checked calculators. if during the exam you have loose sheets of paper and a proctor notices then i suspect you would be in trouble, or if they notice you writing in one of your books or binders.

i've also found this book to be a good resource.  I didn't have it prior to failing my first time.  i'm glad i have it now i got the solution manual and found that the problems in each chapter are good practice i've skipped a few chapters that are either irrelevant or do not count for much on...

I took the free trial and signed up for a month.  I really like their site and teaching styles.  The examples seem to be much closer to exam style and "tricky" than most others I've reviewed.

The NCEES practice exam is very specific on it's NEC questions and states......"According to the 201X NEC..........." then asks the question. I don't remember exactly, but I don't think the actual exam asked the questions in this same manner.  I hope this isn't divulging too much but I think it...

NY did not look at our notes to see if they were handwritten or in pencil/pen

Double checking on this - For any conventional transformer, used as an autotransformer, there are a total of FOUR configurations that could be used. i.e. a 480/120 could be used as a 480/600 or 480/360 or 120/600 or 120/360 Anyone disagree?

Thanks rg1.  appreciate the help

Ugh feel annoyed I can't solve this.... help! This feels like a good question for the exam

Thanks Szar for your response.  However, I'm still not getting it. I've gone through all the examples I can find, and all the literature on it I can find. I have no issues calculating the right answers for Boost configurations.  For Buck, sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't.  The books...

And......I finished both the morning and afternoon sessions an hour early during the exam.  Unfortunately I had a huge retirement party at work an hour away that I was late for; huge networking event within the company, and I had to be there.  So could've also been a bad thing too

Thanks for the replies.....I found the engineering pro guide materials after the exam and said, if I failed, i need to buy these.  Needless to say, after reviewing them, they may have been the difference in me passing the exam. Oddly enough, I have compiled so many review questions from other...

Ideal 25kVA 480/120V 1PH transformer is to be used as an autotransformer supplying load from a 480V source If it is in Buck mode, and the coils are carrying rated current, the max KVA load the transformer can accomodate is? 75kVA answer I came up with 100kVA Is somehow "coils carrying rated...

Going for my second try in October.  I failed with a 48.  I had about 2 months to study while having a full time job and young children, so I contribute most of my failure to lack of time to study (but company paying for test so take it and fail or maybe pass, instead of waiting another 6...
