Agreed with the previous response. The course is an excellent refresher to the theoretical sides of Power Engineering - thus enhancing your ability to work through tougher problems on the exam that might have been a little 'outside' your normal realm of knowledge. Overall, was it worth the...

And for me it was also circuit analysis (which I dislike...but whateva) and transmission / distribution. It's hard for me to believe because my job is designing T.L. / Distribution systems...either way, just b/c you struggle in one area on the exam - the next time you take it, your areas of...

I like the course - very in depth so far...which is good for the theory side of things. Yeah - so far, that's what I've been doing is watching a module part each night, then working some problems related to the topic that I just saw. I deviate a little here and there to make sure I cover the...

It seems like a lot yes - but not really when you focus on the big picture. I saw guys bringing in several duffle bags full of reference material into the exam...just insane amounts of books! All I brought with me was the: NCEES Sample Book - used this a ton 2007 NESC - used this a ton 2002...

So far so good. The course is organized into modules - one per week. Each module has about 5 - 6 videos in it. The videos range in lengths of time - some are 25 to 30 mins long...others are 1 to 1.5 hrs...just depends on the subject. The modules are set up at a nice pace that flows well with...

I called and asked about that - they said it could take a week or so to get all the study material (class notes / NCEES Sample Exam). Here's a number to call if you're still having issues after a week: 404-385-3501 -J

I'm still waiting on my Log In information to be sent to me so that I can start viewing the modules...hopefully I'll be online by tonight:) I called and spoke to Dr. Callen yesterday - seemed to be a very nice guy and helpful with making my decision on this course. -J

You're on the right track...from my experiences in the past, whenever you think you've studied enough - do it some more. Utilizing all the extra studying time between now and the day before the exam is ESSENTIAL> Think positive - you will pass it. I'm signing up for the GA course today too...

Work the problems over and over until you can begin to recognize other similar questions and be able to solve them without searching through your notes. That is going to be an important focus for me on this next round. Another factor is just the basic knowledge of Power Systems in general -...

I studied for about 3 months. 2 -3 hrs each night and then 6 hrs or so on Sat. / Sun I felt that it was enough - bu then again, the more time you have to devote to working problems, the better off you will be from my past experiences. -J

I haven't decided yet on the course...I think it starts up in mid August (a few weeks away). I actually got a copy of the PE Power notes from Test Masters from a friend that took the course back in 2008. The only catch is that the notes were based on the old format of the test - back when...

Good stuff - we'll this thing keeps sounding better and better. The price is good It's self-paced You can watch over-n-over Online = No travel Thanks -J

Ok - yeah I saw their online program too. I'm in the process of emailing Ga Tech's program to ask some more specific questions about the lectures and how they're set up. That was one of my biggest concerns, was enrolling in a class / course that didn't really follow the NCEES path. I want to...

Good to hear. Thanks for the reply - I appreciate it! -J That's a good idea...never got around to doing that the first time. After working through the given problems in the NCEES Sample questions - I thought I had them down cold. But the questions on the April exam proved to be slightly...

Hello - I've been trolling through the boards for a while but this is my first time posting lol. I just took the PE -Power Exam in April 2010 and unfortunately I will be taking it again (missed it barely) in OCT 2010 :smileyballs: I'm on the fence in regards to taking a review course for this...
