    COVID-19

    That's what's more depressing. Now we get 1 shot before it goes to CBT. So now I gladly bought all these reference books , tabs, online course, etc etc etc etc.... and I get 1 chance. After that, it goes to CBT and all of that is completely wasted time.

    COVID-19

    I am beyond devastated. I signed up for Zach Stone's class (the best there is) and hammered through EVERYTHING. I have over 350+ hours studied. I am beyond devastated.

    NCEES will be updating this web page. Yes I'm freaking out. I have studied pretty much 5.5-6 months solid for this test.  https://ncees.org/covid-19/

    April/October 2020 Power PE Exam Prep

    Never reschedule. It's just money you can always make more. I would have paid the $ for the October exam even if I didn't have a chance of passing just for the opportunity. That's an experience you LITERALLY can not buy besides being there.

    April/October 2020 Power PE Exam Prep

    First one I didn't do passes, second one I did. I think for main exam I will FOR SURE do passes so I am training that way from here on out.  I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse but I'm pretty quick at knowing if I know how to do something or if I don't. So I have been moving through them...

    April/October 2020 Power PE Exam Prep

    I've done the 8 hour timed exam twice so far. AM/PM with a 1 hour break trying to mimic the test day.  I plan doing it again this weekend with either ENGR FULL exam or Cram for PE test 2. Not sure which one yet. I've heard great things about both so I don't think I could go wrong.

    April/October 2020 Power PE Exam Prep

    Wow I think that's a great score! I worked through Cram exam 1 this weekend myself. I thought I was strong in qualitative problems (being a little older with all my experience being power) but I couldn't guess them or find them in my Wildi/Chapman/Glover books :(

    Question when to use 30 degrees Celsius table Ampacity vs 40 degrees.

    Thank you! I luckily got it right (doing that method) but I never noticed in table 16 that it says its based off 30 degrees! Thanks a ton! ❤️❤️

    Question when to use 30 degrees Celsius table Ampacity vs 40 degrees.

    I never know when to use the temperature correction table 310.15(B)(2)(a) or 310.15(B)(2)(b)  I don't see in the question where it says it's "based on 30 degrees or 40 degrees Celsius".

    I counted around 24 here, can someone PLEASE feel free to zoom in and let me know if you see any references I"m missing that you would strongly suggest me take.

    April/October 2020 Power PE Exam Prep

    I will have between 20-25 books (at least) counting my 5-6 "code binders". I will be bringing our "extra large rolling suite case". No way a milk crate is carrying all I'm bringing.

    Best material for REALLY focusing on Protection for this exam only

    Hey guys, I feel that Protection isn't pushed as much as it should considering its the largest section. Does anyone have any recommendations to just hammer out problems? I have access to Zach Stone's course, all of ENGR Pro Guides material, blackburn and Glover (and more). I would just like to...

    Advice please on stress and depression about test going to CBT

    Thanks Hoss, I needed that. I guess I'm not "stressed about failing". It's more of "wanting to be done" I do plan on getting my PMP directly after my PE, but I honestly don't care. I'm not going to stress and I'll do that for fun in my own time. This is just the final step after a LONG journey...

    Advice please on stress and depression about test going to CBT

    This is the first time I've been allowed to take PE (passed FE in September of last year) and I was SO EXCITED to buy all my reference books, sign up for Zach's class and DOMINATE this test. I am weird, I semi enjoy learning everything their is to know about electrical engineering. I didn't care...

    Auto Transformer Problem

    I'm way off sadly. I thought power on each side of the transformer is the same (line/load).  Is the power different here because it was one configuration AND THEN USED AS A BOOST?
