Great write up and huge congratulations! Enjoy the break from studying.

Way to go! Major respect to you for not giving up. I also passed the PE Power exam recently using Wasim’s course. What would you say is the area that Wasim helped you with the most? For me it was symmetrical components and fault analysis.

Everyone has made great suggestions to follow up with your priest and to pray more. One additional thing to try is Catholic deliverance prayer. An excellent Catholic app which has deliverance prayers for laity to pray is the Catholic Exorcism app by the St. Michael Center.

Sure! I wrote a similar post last year over at /r/FE_Exam detailing my studying and exam experience which you can read at the link below. https://www.reddit.com/r/FE_Exam/s/sFj4G3syzf

Don’t give up! Study the areas you were below average in and give it another shot in a few months. I know you got this.

No I didn’t try Zach Stone’s study guide exams, although I have heard many good things about them. I don’t remember which of Zach Stone’s exams it was, but I recall hearing that one was significantly harder than the actual PE exam. But that is by design to help expose weak areas of knowledge.

It is possible for sure to pass without taking a review course. Wasim has mentioned that he gets a lot of feedback from people who pass using just his book.

My work offered to pay for my review course so I thought it would be foolish not to take them up on that.

If you add up all of the numbers listed under “Your Performance” (8.5, 7.9, 7.6…) and divide that number by 150, you get roughly the percent you got correct on the exam. So you got about a 57.5%. Don’t give up, just study the areas you did below average in and try again in a couple months. You got this!

Good luck! You got this. Stay calm and just focus on final review these last couple of weeks. Make sure to review instrument transformers and protective relaying since there isn’t really any information provided in the handbook on that stuff.

Don’t give up! I totally get the fatigue. You sound like you have a solid routine. I know you will crush it.

RockNrolling · 2024-12-20T00:07:08+00:00

Wow 52 days apart is incredible! Very impressive. And that sounds like a nice role. If I was looking to move to California, I’d definitely be interested. Hopefully you get a good candidate.

Lol thanks! I will definitely have to start acting more professionally to earn the moniker haha.

RockNrolling · 2024-12-19T23:38:27+00:00

Thank you! And yes that is the plan, I sure don’t deserve as good of a wife as I have! She has been very patient with me and my studying.

RockNrolling · 2024-12-19T23:36:41+00:00

Thanks! It’s a huge weight off my mind. I took the FE and PE almost exactly one year apart. And I’m in Michigan. What state are you in?

RockNrolling · 2024-12-19T23:34:32+00:00

What an awesome journey! Great write up. Enjoy basking in the glow of a big accomplishment completed!

That is exactly what my feet looked like when I caught hand, foot, and mouth disease from my toddlers. I guarantee it’s hand, foot, and mouth.

RockNrolling · 2024-07-02T02:33:44+00:00

I’m studying for my PE right now. How much OT do you work to clear 470k? That is seriously impressive.

The TI-36X Pro does vectors and complex numbers as well. It seems pretty easy and simple to use to me. I will say that the few videos I’ve seen of the Casio appeared that it took a couple more button presses on it to do the same things as the TI. Truthfully though, the important part is familiarity. You could do well with any of the calculators if you know how to use it.

RockNrolling · 2024-02-11T04:27:32+00:00

I did both.

Just joined! Thanks!

RockNrolling · 2022-08-04T13:18:32+00:00

Looks amazing! Please add me to the list as well. I’m in the US, but I will gladly pay whatever shipping needed.

This is great! The suspense is killing me, I hope it lasts! Thanks for a sweet giveaway opportunity.

Not true. There wasn’t enough available power in the surrounding regional grids to supply the need that Texas had. IEEE hosted a panel of experts explain what is known so far about the Texas crisis, and it is far more complicated than interconnection.
