Took the NCEES practice exam this last weekend and tried using only the handbook. Some of the formula forms are super weird, and I did end up having to look up a few things elsewhere because they just aren't in the handbook. Things that stood out to be missing to me: Wattmeters, ampmeters...

Not totally sure on your question @Mohammed Ahmed but on page 63 they have a formula with the 2 in it under "the relationship between capacitive and reactive power". No idea why they change notation and have Preactive in one spot and q in another spot and the MVAR in another spot?  It's like...

yeah pencil and paper was only $350... though we're supposed to get a $25 refund if we sign up before January...not sure that's a great consolation prize for getting jerked around for a year, but whatever! A is definitely incorrect. zero sequence currents and voltages are equal in magnitude and...

wonder if we should contact our state boards to put more pressure on NCEES?

Everyone retains things differently so do what works for you! I had most everything purchased for the april exam. I think the only things i've added are the 4th Cram exam, the actual engineering economics analysis, and the book of batteries which i had contemplated buying before (and i may have...

Ohhhh if they cancel it again imma be SO mad. I dont care if we have to take it in scuba gear or whatever. Plus I still havent receive a refund on my hotel room. 😑

Walls of text are great... Here's mine. Last time I worked through Graffeo first. It was a good review since i've been out of school 8+ yrs. Found Zach's course and signed up for it. Went through the entire course and filled up 3 notebooks with notes on all the videos and examples. I tabbed...

Twinsies! 😂 I am also much busier with work this time around, and the weather is also much nicer, so it stinks to be stick inside studying on evenings and weekends.  What other practice problems did you get?

How's everyone doing this round? What's your study plan look like? I've been working through EngproGuide's review book the last 2 weeks, hopefully ill finish this weekend. I've seen a few things that are new, and different ways of working problems too!  This time Im approaching studying a...

Please let us know about the Tab book. The reviews weren't very compelling around last February and I chose to not buy it. Any suggestions as to what sections to look at in Linden's? This text is HUGE and a little overwhelming.

I would say higher DC current because of the increased heat. I deal with a lot of DC relays that are 50-60 years old and, and usually you're replacing the contact or the coil. Coils like to fail because they get too hot - we see more coils fail in the summer than winter, the ones energized more...

Thanks for the opportunity! Your course has been super helpful!

Registration for the October 2020 exam is open on NCEES website. Just registered! (again...) Hopefully we'll actually get to take this one. 😬

Got it! Apparently there is a study guide companion that is just solved problems, and apparently that's what amazon is calling the paperback version... No actual textbook included. 🙄

just realized I bought the Study Guide to the Engineering Economic Analysis book instead of the actual book. I kept thinking people were crazy to suggest it, cause all it had was example problems that weren't terribly helpful... so I just ebayed a copy of the actual book. 😅 maybe that's why i've...

Continuing to participate in class on Tuesday nights with Zach, and working the homework problems on Thursdays. I've been reading/skimming articles on lunch breaks throughout the week as I can. I'm planning on reading/ skimming some books, but just took the weekend off of anything PE...

Zach's section on paralleling transformers is fantastic if you have access to it. I spent 2 days on that section until it finally clicked! How are you liking Eng Pro Guides' book? I bought the exams but not the book because I figured it would be a repeat of everything else, but the few pages...

Im planning to keep studying a few nights a week, and probably do a practice exam each month just to stay in the zone. Im ready to have more time to look at references, but disappointed because I was going to be ready. Zach is going to finish this session of classes and has been super generous...

Same! Why can't they just delay it a month or 2? 😭

I have the 2nd book and i really like it! It much easier to read than Blackburn, I probably need to read through it in more detail. I've mostly read chapters as needed when I came across something felt I needed to know in more detail. I found a pdf of the Sleva book too, but haven't looked at it...
