Good old ELI!  :afro:

I work for a utility also.  As Kovz mentioned, no requirement although it is "preferred/desired" for some jobs.  During a job selection process it could be the difference between being the successful or the unsuccessful candidate.  Never hurts to have one.  I'm about to start working in our...

It's true you can't know everything but something like bus configurations is a basic part of working in the electric utility industry. Particularly if you work in either design, construction or maintenance.  I'd say most of the folks taking the  power PE have had experience in at least one of...

That Code Drill book also has a good strategy for the NEC in its intro.  Don't do any more problems but if you follow that strategy regarding the NEC you'll do fine.  I used that and I felt that I got every Code problem right. 

Agreed with not looking further at it too much.  At this point I wouldn't work any more tests.  Sounds like you've done enough.  Make sure your cheat sheet is complete.  I also had two binders stuffed with Georgia Tech review info and information I'd gathered from the internet.  I crossed...

Also the strategy works regardless of which version of the Code you study.  It emphasizes underlining key words in each problem (basically all the nouns) and then advises looking for the key words in the index.  Sounds basic but it really works.

IMHO, the best study guide for the NEC is the one from Complex Imaginary.  The problems get you used to using the Code and the introduction offers an excellent strategy for tackling the problems.  It contains about 300 problems.  I only had time to work about a third of those but was well...

Still looking for those diode problems.  Moved a lot of household stuff around recently.  As soon as I find them I'll forward.

Apologies.  Got distracted last night and this slipped my mind.  I'll definitely look tonight.

Craft beers are also good. :beerbang:

Thanks!

I think I have some from the Georgia Tech course I took.  I'll look tonight and post tomorrow.

Don't remember if I've responded to everyone who needs this info but if I haven't message me your email and I will forward rate info.  For some reason I sometime have trouble uploading. 

The categorization idea is a good idea and is what I used when I took the Electrical-Power Systems.  I'm assuming yours is open book also?  To expand on what  jijir83 said in my case I did 4 passes on the test.  On the first I went through and assigned each question a 1-4 points.  On the first...

For some reason I'm having trouble uploading.  I will PM you my email.  Respond back with yours and I should be able to forward that way.

I hear you.

You may also see it spelled as "buss",  "buss bar", "bussbar", or "busbar" in some texts.  below is the Wikipedia definition which pretty much nails it: "In electrical power distribution, a busbar (also spelled bus bar, or sometimes as buss bar or bussbar, with the term bus being a contraction...

I am always leery about answering questions where someone asks if a certain types of questions are on the exam.  The powers that be are strict about the rule stating that details of particular problems should not be discussed.  I prefer to err on the side of caution.  A better way to ask might...

TWJ makes a good point.  I had the same durations for the GA Tech course and problem solving.

Don't know about Testmasters.  I took the Georgia Tech online course which I thought was very good.
