PE Power Exam Study Material

[sghataurah]

I am completing my application to write the PE Power Exam this October 2013. I have read many posts and am not sure of the best material to buy to study. I have been in consulting engineering for 15 years. Just ordered the PPI and passed the FE last April and wondering if I should just buy the PPI for the PE power exam as well.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks,

The Complex Imaginary sample tests helped out quite a bit.

I would recommend SPin-up too. Spin-up covers cerain topics like PLCs, batteries, rectifiers and NEC in a better detail than CI. I presonally felt that the level of difficulty of Spin-up is more than CI.

Atleast from the April exam the lesson learnt is not to skip any of the topics.

I used the Electrical Engineers Guide to passing the Power PE by Alexander Graffeo. The study guide made the difference for me. The first time I failed using PPI materials. The second time I passed with flying colors using only this study guide. If you are interested, don't buy it on Amazon. Go to www.powerpe.net and shipping is free. Also, you can check out the contents. You should probably have the NEC and NESC code books too. They're not really covered in the guide, but the power info. really helped me pass the exam.
