I am awaiting CA results (4th time taking Power PE). I've taken a couple of review courses but honestly I think there is a large part of this that is just plain luck. I know of a mechanical guy who took the power PE and passed with just 1 reference manual. A lot of luck involved and an...

Been suffering for the last 3 attempts, so this 4th one just feels so routine it's sad.. In any event, congrats to those that passed! I'm at peace with whatever the outcome.. Best of luck! - suffering CA resident. 

Hey, I know of a couple of people that keep taking it and when they passed they say "I don't know how I passed" which tells me it's a big part of luck that determines the outcome. Let's hope you and I and many others can keep shooting the darts until we hit the bulls eye! I only hope I can keep...

I've known plenty of "I barely studied" peeps throughout school and college, and I knew they had this ego thing about them, but trust me this guy could care less about any recognition or attention. Very humble guy. In any event, I pray that we pass!! we deserve it!! I hope lol. This is attempt...

Wow, I give you props for not giving up. Though idk how many more "punches to the gut" I can take willingly. It's so hard knowing that there's really no way of studying for this exam, luck has to definitely be on your side.. we'll see =/  

That's the worst part about this exam, that you can take all the "guaranteed pass courses" and what not but when it comes down to it, you could have every imaginable reference with you and study for 3 or 4 months and it still won't prepare you for what may be on the exam. I seriously felt that...

It's very true, he seems to be a genius when it comes to taking these types of tests. He doesn't just have an ME and EE PE., he also has LEED AP, CEM, and a ton of other ones.. If you think about it somebody with zero knowledge could very well pass this test just on sheer probability though it's...

I'm a service planner/ designer for Anaheim Public Utility. It's odd we don't use any codes per say, we reference GO 95. Anyways, yeah I'm pretty bummed about this being my 4th attempt and feeling bad about it.. :(  

This was my 4th attempt and man the afternoon portion was so bizarre to say the least. I was shocked about how different it was, and how confused I felt about it. I felt really good about my 2nd and 3rd attempts and this one I feel poor to say the least. May luck be on our side folks. I know of...

This was my 4th attempt at the PE Power. This afternoon session felt the worst out of all the other times I took it. There was a lot of problems I hadn't seen before.. In any event, as usual, I did whatever I could. I just pray that luck is on my side this time... 😕 . anybody else feel this way...

Same here.. I failed 3rd time in April.. I actually had the Zach Power PE access for both previous attempts and I felt it did help but I still couldn't manage to pass. I'm just as confused as you, at this point I am not sure if just doing pure practice problems would be best.. I'm planning to...

I can speak for CA but not so sure about MA, but I got a BS EE and after failing the EE exam, I went with the "Other Disciplines" aka "general" and finally passed that. I had the option to choose any since when you get an EIT certificate it doesn't say what discipline it is. it's just a general...

Exactly how I feel. This is my third attempt (PE Power). It's crazy how every time the test is vastly different from the last. This time at least I got the direct from NEC questions right.. other than that who know.. at a raw score you need 56/80 to get 70% so I'm not sure I got that many correct.. 

This will be my third time taking it, and I can't say I have studied anymore than my previous attempts but I am also way more at ease and at peace with this attempt. I know I have my references and will do my best. I know of a few people that are a completely different discipline yet managed to...

Thanks for the encouragement. I will sign up for April again. The thing that sucks is that I know the test will be very different this next time so I can't really study my "weak" areas because they will change on the next exam.. I guess I will just do many more practice problems. 

why wouldn't we be able to use reference books? I think if they made the test CBT we would just input our answers electronically but I don't see why that means we can't use reference books..  BTW Thank you guys for chatting with me during work lol.  I work for the city but it's a slow day...

Will do. I wish the test was CBT because I already kinda wanna hit the books but I don't retain long term memory study material..  If it was CBT I would retake it in 1 month and brush up and add more study to what I already have and my references.  I'm not sure what more I could add to my...

I literally just saw your response and shot him an email all but 5 min ago. We will see what he says I did use his site for 2 months so hopefully he lets me have access again for the April exam. 

I took it Oct 2017 and Oct 2018 and failed both times, now looking to take it in April again, and again, until I pass.  What practice exams would you suggest? I know there are thousands of different perspectives on advice. I've taken the Electrical PE review course online and I thought it did...

Thanks for the advice, I will give it another go in April.
