Kaplan PE Power Practice Exam
Anyone ever see an errata list for it?
I've spotted a couple of debatable "solutions" in there. For example, I don't think Morning #19 is a valid problem, as the "problem" states clearly "the generator voltage is 45 kV line-to-line", yet when they go to set the generator to PU values, they change it to 25/45 = .556 per unit. That "25" isn't mentioned anywhere in the problem, but they set up the solution like the generator is at 25 kV. It's all downhill from there.
I sat down and worked the morning session today. In 3 hours I got 21/40. Definitely exposed some of my weak spots, and I'm learning a few new tricks. A few of my correct answers were guesses, and I think a few of my 'missed' problems were bad problems. But I do think this practice exam is worth a look. It's harder than the NCEES sample exam, but I think it's worthwhile.
