I think I might get starbucks.  Just finished a project tech review/still have 2 more, and I think I'm staying late at the office.  I DESERVE THIS.

Especially if you're proficient with web-based code (which I'm certainly not), you could make some solid coin selling practice tests for the CBT exams. 

I'm actually pretty good at coding. Maybe I can be among the first to provide online PE power practice exams.

Just have a large online problem bank, and each time you take the exam the questions are different. $10 each practice. Per session.

Somewhat. The practice exam is decent, and his symmetrical components section is good. The illumination section is very good, even though illumination wasn't on my exam.

I'm so pissed about that.

Fix'd.  Especially since a normal written exam book is like $35 and doesn't actually look like the exam anymore.

I'm unfamiliar with Graffeo, inasmuch as I wouldn't touch the power exam with a 13-foot pole, but I believe it. There's good money to be made in exam prep, particularly if you're well-organized, detailed oriented, and (if I'm going to be perfectly honest) a native English speaker. However, with CBT on the horizon, now's not the time to break in with prep materials for the P&P exam.

I don't know how they're going to do it for the CBT. I would not want to be on the first exam cycle for the CBT.

Or like $300 for unlimited access for 6 months.

ABSOLUTELY

Same. I used to do it for work, so I was thinking those would be my gimme questions. Oh well, got slapped in the face with conceptual questions.

I should team up with Stone.

I was definitely less than thrilled with the content of this exam, for sure. 

ETA: Yay, top!

I don't do that type of illumination, but they're easy problems.

you'd be massively undervaluing yourself for that.

Zach Stone's course is 200$/month for power PE and is pretty decent quality. And he's got one of the cheaper (cheapest?) options out there.

I'm just spitballing. The market is more saturated in civil, though some of the more reliable (and better marketed) avenues are profoundly overpriced. If you could find the middle ground in terms of quality and price, there's some solid money to be made.

I also have nowhere near the coding skills to pull it off, so this is largely an academic exercise.

I'd be very interested in taking one of the CBT PE exams. My FE was CBT and it wasn't bad, but if I remember correctly the reference handbook was mainly just formulas. I remember I forgot how to do K-maps for digital logic, and there wasn't anything in the handbook for K-maps.

So for the PE CBT power exam, I wonder if the reference will have information about, for example, machine theory. For instance, one of my references had a graph of torque vs slip, which could be very useful for visualizing the relationship between the two. If this sort of graph isn't in the reference, and you don't know about motors, you might be dead in the water.

Good morning spammers!

 

[MadamPirate PE]

SPAM.

 

[JayKay PE]

Got my starbucks.  Tastes different, but that might have been because I butchered that shit to hell when I was ordering (I literally sounded like I had never ordered sbux before I was disgusted at myself)

 

[RBHeadge PE]

It's only been 11 days? I'm not gonna make it. My curiosity is going to kill me.

It's going to be a long 6-8 weeks. 8-10 in Pennsylvania

 

[RBHeadge PE]

That's why the SPAM thread is here, my friend.
