look at the Power Exam Specifications from the NCEES (http://cdn3.ncees.co/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Exam-specifications_PE-Ele-POW-Apr-2009.pdf)

Essentially it is telling you, you need to study the topics that are shown in those areas.

Probably system analysis. Like with the different bus types, remember? The first part, I'm not sure. I'd just study all of Transmission and Distribution some more. If you used the MVA method on the protection part, you might need to brush up on your per unit. You have to know per unit for some things even if you use the MVA method for faults.

Which books did you take with you to the test/study from? Did you take any practice tests before hand?

 

[Redskinsdb21]

Yes, I took the NCEES was all, but I could do the whole exam in under four hours, I remembered it verbatim. I think I got confused on some things like single line diagrams...determinint flow from generators to transformers and vice versa

The NCEES is a great study tool, but it shouldn't be your only practice source...
