Look at how the exam changed in from April 2018 on. Would recommend looking into the types of questions that were added (T&D) and less into those that were thinned down. Most study guides will not have caught up to these changes yet.

The o�cial practice exam only re�ected its di�culty, not its content.

Relays, more advanced code problems

I left the exam feeling perplexed after the amount of time I studied and the number of practice exams I took (80% average score) - the exam did not re�ect anything I have found to study. Is this all just a hazing and money-making scheme? Just know that the results of this exam do not re�ect your intelligence.

Know your core very well, half of the test is to di�cult to predict what will be asked.

All of it. I thought I failed. The complex imaginary problems are to easy so they are good practice but not a good gauge to know if you've studied enough.

The morning test went horri�c. I didn't even want to come back for the afternoon. The afternoon went very well. So advice, during the test, don't give up, keep going.

Please add an index to the technical study guide. There is a lot of good info, but it's extremely di�cult to navigate when in a hurry on timed exams. An index is the make or break for PE exam references. It is the one and only thing holding your reference material back compared to others like Graffeo.

Don't spend too much time on questions that you don't know how to approach, or are completely foreign. Instead come back to them, and remember the simple approach is typically the correct one. After the morning session, take a deep breath, shake off the �rst half without second guessing everything, and start fresh on the afternoon session.

This is the best practice exam available for the power pe exam. It is a much better representation of the di�culty than even the NCEES o�cial practice exam. The only improvement that can be made is that the version of the practice exam I had did not re�ect the new exam specs.

Most of the practice exams, including the o�cial practice exam do not come close to the level of di�culty of the real exam

Protective relaying

The practice exam should shu�e the topics around, rather than testing one topic at a time. This would give a better simulation of the real exam.
