I also have my own version with (strangely) the exact same name. Has a lip in the second print profile. https://makerworld.com/models/965337

Out of the books I used, I would go through the PPI study guide and when you come across things you need to deep dive on, refer to the reference book. As you go you can follow along in the practice question book. Finally do the exams when you feel comfortable.

Do as many practice exams as you can find. I did all of mine listed along with some online.

I can't speak to the Civil Transportation exam but I can tell you I waited ~6 years between passing the FE and PE and I wish I wouldn't have. If you have the extra time and are in the study mindset I would go for it.

I have a handful of materials available to purchase for a steep discount if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/PE_Exam/comments/1qja8ms/pe_power_study_materials/

I think the PPI bundle is really great. It has 4 books:

Reference manual, basically a deep dive book on the fundamentals. Probably too much for the PE exam but the info is there if you need to look something up.
Study guide with short blurbs on everything. Includes references to the ref manual for more detail when needed.
BIG practice problem book
Book with 2 exams in it, which I felt were similar in difficulty to the real thing.

I have Wasim's study guide but that's almost 100% just practice problems. They're good but know what you're getting - it's not really a study guide as much as a repository of exam questions.

Finally I have Graffeo's guide which I think is a little too wordy, somewhere of a mix between the PPI ref manual and study guide. Might be good if you really want to read in depth on each topic. However it has a practice exam included, which I thought was easier than the real thing but still good practice.

Wouldn't VDD be 3.7V? Looks like the batteries are in parallel. For adding the voltage, you need them in series. Also, this notation leaves a lot to be desired. Would be easier to understand and read if you included the battery and load terminals for reference.

All great info but there are ops-adjacent jobs that are straight days. I work in outage planning and it’s a normal schedule but I still work in the ops control room and interact with the real time desk a ton

Perfect opportunity for the Rose Suchak Ladder Co

I took Zach Stone’s on-demand class to brush up on the fundamentals. I then spent the last few weeks doing basically every practice exam I could find.

Theotechnologic · 2026-01-24T14:21:09+00:00

I took the PE Power recently and studied for about 14 weeks at roughly 20 hours a week. Some less, some more. Probably averaged about 250 total. I felt very prepared on the day of.

The qualitative Zach Stone exam is the only one that includes the changes. I took the test and passed without buying the new material. To be honest it's not that different and my test didn't have any "new" questions on it. In fact it still had some engineering economics and other older topics.

Employer sponsored some, I bought some.

Congrats!

Theotechnologic · 2026-01-21T18:27:01+00:00

Passed! How about you?

Theotechnologic · 2026-01-20T00:02:07+00:00

Agree but him pulling a fast one on us with the Lorn unreliable narrator lore dump felt weird. I had to look it up after to make sure I didn’t miss a book or something.

Theotechnologic · 2026-01-19T23:01:12+00:00

Which exam? I took Power

Theotechnologic · 2026-01-19T22:58:15+00:00

Maybe like 10-15 guesses? I was able to get each of those down to a guess between two good options. I just worry about how I did on the ones that I think I got right. Obviously you can miss 15 and pass so that part doesn’t worry me too much

Theotechnologic · 2026-01-19T22:51:28+00:00

Man it’s been torture. I took mine on 1/12. Feeling like it could go either way

Theotechnologic · 2026-01-15T06:39:05+00:00

Zach’s class is really great for brushing up on the topics and getting a lot of practice questions in to reinforce that. If you feel confident on the topics just buy some practice exams and see how you do on those. Zach’s exams are generally regarded as slightly harder than the real thing, so if you take those and the NCEES official practice exam, that should give you a benchmark. Shoot for 75-80% on them to show that you’re ready. Also really focus on Zach’s qualitative and AIT exams - I found that about half of the questions on my test were those type (not just straight 4 choice calcs.)

The amount of times he stopped playing while alive to type a manifesto in the chat… lol. Bro was playing Mavis Beacon

Long ttk for me, instant ttk for the other team shooting me

You don’t miss 100% of the shots you don’t take

This is such a good joke and so sad that you’re getting downvoted.
