Don't count on the difficulty to be the same, it depends on the exam...When I took the exam, the practice book was far easier than the real exam. Just try to cover as much problems and topics as possible.
I believe that 3 months is enough...However, it all depends on your job. If you are working in a consultancy, you'll find that you deal with most of those problems on a weekly basis. It all depends on what you do in your every day job. However, I still believe 3 months is more than enough if you...
I think that Power System Analysis and Design by Glover & Sarma is a good choice

However, any power flow book would be a good source...The exam's problems are not very complicated
I took the PE Exam in October in 2009 and passed, it was a long day. However, if I have to take it all again, I would do it smarter. The most important thing is realizing what you need to study, and for the EE Power Exam I believe those should be:
If I need to retake the exam, I would probably...
I agree that the Camara EERM is one of the best. I used that as the main manual, I had 3-4 of my power books with me and it helped a lot. I took the PE in October 2009 and I really have to focus on the fact that it's "QUALITY NOT QUANTITY". First, you need to identify what you need to study and...
In Minnesota if you have a graduate degree (MSEE, PhDEE) from the United States, they honor that degree and you don't need to go through the evaluation of your BSEE.
I took the exam last October, and the following Monday I called the Board of MN to find out the procedures cause I was sure I would fail, but I didn't. However, I do believe that we always tend to believe that we screwed up......I believe that you'll probably pass :)
I believe you need to read through most of the book. If you don't use the NEC at work, you'll need to make your own bookmarks and you need to look at alot of problems to see how problems are solved. Alot of practice will be needed to make sure you do the problems correct + I always advise people...
Well, unfortunately noone can tell you for sure the number of questions needed, since it's not a 70% pass grade....it's 70...
I know that some questions are taken off the exam either because they are control questions or because they are ambiguous....
I would agree that you shouldn't even...
I think you did your part, I think it would be helpful if you make summary sheets for different branches for the power engineering, I would classify those as:
1) NEC
2) Power System Engineering
3) High Voltage Engineering
4) Lighting Engineering (it's an equation or 2, no biggy)
5)...
Yes, there is a list somewhere in the NCEES site or in one of the agreements, they give you a list of things including, ruler, compass, triangle...etc...and they say you can pick any 2 of those.
It might be a good idea to take with you in addition to the books 3 hole binder...You can get a list of the relay numbers and what each one is for...that would be a good idea cuase that's the kind of question where you either know or you don't.
