Wow. I think you have more than enough. That said, I'll just add that if you can get a copy of the NESC that may be helpful. Don't buy it, try to borrow a copy from somewhere. I borrowed one from work and it helped more than I expected. Also, I'm not a big fan of the Camara book but if you are going to spend some up front time reading, the Wildi book worked for me. It's also one I'm keeping. Also, the CI book is very helpful. I guess between that, the NCEES practice exam and other sources I did something like 500 practice problems. Can't stress the practice problems enough.

Best of luck!

thanks

 
Handbook of Electric Power Calculations by Beaty. & NESC are on my later list !

 
Chelapti book actually is pretty outdated. I saw someone had it during April exam and the guy has the book literally sitting there and I asked him about it he basically said the same thing.

This is my list..similar

1) GA Tech Binder

2) Wildi

3) Grainger

4) Formula Book and personal notes binder

5) Graffeo

6) NEC and NESC

7) misc binders - hail Mary stuffs

[SIZE=10pt]Looks very similar to what I picked up over the last year to get ready for the October exam[/SIZE]

This is my list of study material:

[SIZE=10pt]1. GA Tech PE Power Review Binder[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]2. Power Reference Manual & Review Problems by Camara[/SIZE]

[SIZE=small]3. NCEES Power PE Review Proboems[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]4. Electric Machines, Drives, and Power Systems by Wildi[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]5. Power System Analysis and Design by Glover[/SIZE]

6. NEC [SIZE=10pt]2011 & 2014 [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]7. NESC 2007[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]8. Fundamentals of Electric Circuits with Solutions by Sadiku[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]9. Complex Imaginary Complete Set Vol 1-4 & NEC Drillbook[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]10. Handbook of Electric Power Calculations by Beaty[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]11. Power System Analysis by Grainger[/SIZE]

 
Very similar to what I had. I would recommend adding the Complex Imaginary NEC workbook to your studies. Don't necessarily need to take it into exam but it will force you to better understand where things are in the Code. I would recommend studying the NESC table of contents. Know what topics the NESC covers and what it doesn't. No need to study any further than that. I didn't realize at the time but GA Tech also does a good job of covering the NEC/NESC.

thank you Katylied. :)

i am confident now of my material

 
[SIZE=10pt]John A Camara PE practice problems book is useless as far as being relavent problems to the PE Power Exam. Also you may want to look Power System Analysis and Design by Glover and Electrical Engineers Guide to Passing the PE Power Exam by Alexander Graffeo (http://powerpeexamguide.com/).[/SIZE]
