Yes. I've seen that. Maybe they're compiling all of the applications and going to upload them all in one fell swoop this week.

Lmao. Same here. My last name starts with a "W" meaning we'll be waiting a while. It might even be mid-July when we get one. As soon as I do I'm looking for another job. Until then I'm going to sit here and wait. Looks like it's a mix of in-state and out-of-state.

Someone I know that took the exam with me in April 2019 just got a license. So I guess they're going through the applications.

Probably mostly out-of-state stuff. When they say 5 to 8 weeks they're probably right.

Nope. Lol. Did anyone else get one?

I just passed the power PE in NYS and I have been checking everyday as well. I didn't understand what it means that the applications have to undergo a "status review". On the application they ask all of the pertinent questions such as education, experience, etc. So, my understanding was that if...

Go where I am from. Most people end up working at civil servant jobs. It's decent money but it's demanding work physically. Eventually that will catch up to you and you can't put a price on your physical and mental health. Also, I consider this profession to be quite fulfilling and dignified. Do...

I don't think it was my study process that was the problem. It was the fact that I didn't take the exam correctly the first time. My movements throughout the first exam seemed directionless. In hindsight, I should have been a bit more tactful with the way I approached each question. The second...

I failed the Power exam in October 2018. It was my first time and I immediately signed up again to take it in April 2019 and ended up passing on my second try. I had mixed feelings about taking again shortly after. My failing score the first time was kind of high and people on here suggested I...

OMG no. It will probably be December before I get issued a license. If I don't hear anything by late July, I will inquire.

It truly is. I've passed as well. I'm most excited about the fact that I don't have to see the exam, practice questions or other reference material again. That's how difficult it was.

I'm in New York as well as my coworkers. On the website it says 4-6 weeks for an application review. Bummer. I remember when I passed the FE it took them about the same amount of time to issue me the intern engineer certificate. One of my other coworkers passed and is already using the title...

Power is notorious for its very low pass rate. Even lower for repeat takers. I ended up passing the second time. 

I have passed as well. This is my second time taking it. The first time was in October 2018. I would personally like to thank Alexander Graffeo, Justin, Zach, and Engineerboards for helping me through this that I thought was impossible. They all helped me understand things I had no clue about...

I did it. I passed the Electrical PE Power Exam in New York. Second time taking it.

It's maddening to know that I was on the border of passing. No use complaining when it's over. I'm just afraid that if I take it again I won't be able to perform as well as I did in the sections that I did do good on, if that makes sense. The damn power electronics and protection is what did me...

This doesn't really help me. I did the same and still failed. I was blindsided by the power electronics questions and protection questions. That's what killed me. Everything else, I performed fairly decent on. It's hard to find a decent reference given the types of questions in these categories.

It's a bit wordy. I guess you have to read through it to know what to look for. Still better than nothing and I like how it's all in one book.

I just came across a great book. It's called "Handbook of Electric Power Calculations" by H. Wayne Beaty and Surya Santoso. ISBN-13: 978-9387572959 ISBN-10: 9789387572959 Got in on eBay for around $30 new. It includes calculation procedures step-by-step, clearly labeled for the following...
