Anyone know what the cut score is?

I will say that I was very glad to have had a copy of the NESC with me for this exam. 

^ This. I want to say that I feel good about my chances of passing, but I don't want to say it out loud because there is the very real chance that I won't pass. I do remember feeling this same way following the FE, and I wound up passing it.  My friends at work (all of whom are PEs) are having...

Not real sure how to say this, but it seemed to me that the exam didn't exactly follow the exam specifications. Did anyone else feel that way?

That is an amusing post, and probably does a good job summarizing how I felt leaving. My friends at work are doing their dead level best to assure me that I failed the exam and that I should start studying now for the October exam since the pass rate for repeat takers is even less than first...

I don't know if I passed or not, but I hope I did so that I don't have to sit through this again. I feel like someone took my brain out of my head, and did a ground-n-pound on it when I left the exam room.

I felt like the afternoon session was harder than the morning. Either way, it was a brutal test, in my opinion. I honestly don't know if I passed or not, but I sure as hell hope I did so that I don't have to go through it again. Ugh...

Oh, I see. Looks like the calculation of impedance for 440-ft was left out of the post for brevity. 

You are right that a single phase feeder is two wires (hot and neutral [plus ground, the non-current carrying conductor]), which is why the impedance is doubled. Current goes to load on hot and returns to source on neutral; therefore, the voltage drop across both line and neutral have to be...

Both subject problems want you to find the amount of capacitance required to raise the existing power factor to some improved value. Graffeo wants to raise it to .90, while Camara wants to raise it to unity. Both problems are setup similarly, and both P.E.'s use the same procedure, but they...

Thank you for the replies. Very helpful. 

Sorry, I meant say that I'm *not* confident in my assessment. 

The problem states: An electric generation facility uses a turbine-driven synchronous generator rated 3PH, 150MVA, 13.8-kV. Per-unit reactances are: X"d=0.15; X'd=0.25; Xd=Xq=1.20 Assume terminal voltage (Et)=1.0 pu. For a transient stability study at rated MVA, rated voltage, and unity...

I'll tell you what I wish I knew...the practice exam on feprep.com is the exact same test every time you order it, so I wouldn't order it more than twice. The quiz bank is useful because it is very versatile in the content and you can mix it up with qualitative and non-qualitative problems. The...

Gratz, blueknight. I personally found the quiz bank on feprep.com to be very helpful. I bought all my study material from feprep.com and bought an assessment and practice test from the NCEES website. For me, it was "work problems, work problems, work problems." I also got very proficient with...

You can increase your odds of guessing the correct answer beyond 25% by choosing the same letter every time you guess. On the other hand, try to eliminate the obvious wrong answers first before you guess. For example, if an electrical engineer sees a question wanting to know how much current...

Been lurking for a few weeks, reading a lot of great posts here. I got word a few days ago that I passed my Electrical FE exam and I'll be eligible to sit for the October 2017 PE (I'm 3 years out of college). I'm going to take the Electrical Power PE and have begun studying for it, so I'll...
