Electrical Engineering Power PE exam 2018 October

[Turtlenet]

I took the exam in Austin Texas I got sick during the exam because I believe I took bad water. They were having an issue with water in that city. I got up from my chair and ran to the restroom and threw up. I felt like garbage. It had nothing to do with being nervous. Anyways I thought the exam focus in areas that I didn't even study. some of the calculations were not coming out like I was expecting even though I had the formula in front of my face. What did you guys think?

I took the exam in Austin too.  I hated the venue they selected for the test site, omfg.

I also took the Oct 2018 Power PE exam (Washington State). I agree, I thought there were many questions about things I hadn't heard of before, and wasn't able to look up in the indexes of any of my books. All my professional experience has been in buildings, so I expected to have some weaknesses around utility & electronics questions. But I took the course from PPI to try and prevent missing out on important topics. Oh well. Fingers crossed for both of us that we get good news soon! Stay strong!
