    NEC & NESC editions for the OCT 14 Power PE

    The truth is that I've taken this test 3 times and also have the sample test and there has yet to be a question that would have a different answer if you had the 2002, 2005, 2008 or 2011 NEC and I don't think they would put a question like that in there since different states are using different...

    I think they're going in some kind of super slow alphabetical order. I know they are at least past "El".

    Electrical PE Exam - Oct. 2013

    I know what you're saying. Take the example below Special Applications 10% 1. Lightning and surge protection 2. Reliability 3. Illumination engineering 4. Demand and energy management/calculations 5. Engineering economics So you have 8 questions on any one of these topics. It can be 3 on...

    A guy brought a ...... to the exam!

    You have people getting kicked out? The most I saw was a long discussion on whether a compass was allowed.

    How you did AM/PM October 2013 (All)

    I didn't feel right taking the computer exam if I'm now a power designer. If my score is outright awful though, I'm going to switch the the FPE next time.

    How you did AM/PM October 2013 (All)

    Of course if you switch industries, you should lose your license. You are no longer an experienced professional in the field you got your experience in. If it was just about knowing the material, they would have you take the exam straight out of college. They can't individualize the test for...

    How you did AM/PM October 2013 (All)

    I said 90% of those who pass the FE, not 90% of random people off the street. I don't think your comparison is apples to apples. You realize this test is harder to pass (at least in terms of pass rate) than the bar? The point is what is considered a "fair test." I think being considered a...

    How you did AM/PM October 2013 (All)

    Power AM - know I got a couple wrong but was feeling good. PM - head a splode. I don't know why they make this test so damn hard. If everybody who took this test passed the FE, it should be written so the passing rate is closer to 90% than 65%. I could rant more but what are you going to do...

    retake exam: Power

    Thanks, palvarez Also, to continue with my earlier train of thought, only 61% of first-time PE takers and 27% of re-takers pass this test. Think about that. That's of all the people who graduated college, (very likely) passed the FE and (very likely) have at least 4 years of experience in the...
