Haha. Amen

Thank you

I wanted to know few things regarding the exam day. - How long is the break between morning & afternoon session ? - Are we allowed to take 2 Calculators in the exam hall ? 

I am just using Post it tabs to Tab anything that I find relevant. I myself struggle where to draw the line as I don't want to over tab and struggle finding things. 

I plan on getting my references tabbed and ready followed by doing couple of times tests on the weekend. As you mentioned I also plan on spending more time on NEC practice as I never used it prior to prepping for this exam. 

Does anyone have an idea why we are adding KVARs with both series./parallel cap bank connections ?

Can anyone comment which Topics to review from Linden book for the batteries ? I definitely dont have the time to go over the whole book

I would do it as I solve each question. As you mentioned you dont wanna keep it to last & bubble wrong answers after solving correctly

I agree. Not sure what % of questions on the actual exam are of this level.

I saw similar question in one of the Complex Imag test. I did the same thing of including the angle & got the wrong answer.

Not sure if I understand your question correctly but unless stated that it is Phase Current/Voltage assume it is Line I or V

I am definitely taking these. Dont wanna miss out on easy questions, I downloaded PDFs and printed out. Check if your employer has subscription access

Makes sense. I believe I need couple of days off from studying :P Appreciate your response

I agree with you totally. that's what I thought but the Answer in the book is just the first one & not the second. I believe both are correct & this is a typo in the book maybe.

what would be the advantage if you were to reconnect a conventional voltage transformer as an autotransformer ?  The answer is - it could handle more power one more option is “fewer windings are necessary “ which also seems to be correct to me.  Can someone explain this ? 

the only logic I see is that the voltage is cancelled when we divide Zactual/Zbase and we end up dividing 2/20 which gives 0.1 pu for Gen. I am not stressing at that statement they wrote, not sure if that is true because even though X/R ratio is same doesn't means that the Z is same for both...

I am guessing since the Vbase and actual voltage is the same, they are simply dividing the Sactual/Sbase to get Zpu for generator. If we calculate it in ohms and convert it to pu we would do the same division.

I did like 150 questions in the drill book and I did find the discrepancy sometimes. I plan on doing the rest couple of weeks before exam just to be fresh before exam so im not sure how it is in the later half of the book

Thanks for letting us know. I've read good things about that book on this forum. Not sure if I will have enough time to go through it but I plan to take it for the exam just in case
