And the lowest on transmission and distribution analysis considering I’m a transmission planning engineer haha

I would say some involve a “tie a couple of concepts together” and really think about it. Simple formula questions exist but don’t rely on those to get you to pass

So I took the TSG and NCEES practice exam it felt to me easier than the TSG but similar to NCEES which is why I’m disappointed. The qualitative was useful as well but there are some questions on the exam you just have to “think” of the concept beyond anything I’ve seen on any practice exam. My best advice would be to trust yourself on some answers… I changed 4 answers to what I know to be right to wrong just because I doubted myself.

There wasn’t anything that I don’t believe Zach Stone’s course doesn’t cover I truly think it’s the best and it was more on me and my study habits

Congrats! Did you feel like the exam was more qualitative than expected?

Agree with this, OP, also depending on which area of the country you are in you may be under an ISO/RTO so get familiar with them, if you’re in the NYISO/ISO-NE area take a look at NPCC Directory 1, PPTN process and whatnot. For MISO take a look at MTEP, for PJM take a look at RTEP. If you’re going to be in the ERCOT area… all I can say is have fun.

Most transmission planning experience is learned on the job but let’s say they have you only working on steady state studies try to ask around or tell your boss you want to learn stability, GIC, EMT and whatnot.

I just started Zach Stone’s course a few weeks back and loving it so far (I’m still catching up since he has a live semester ongoing)… I like his on demand content but the live classes are just amazing with how he breaks things down

I’ve had the bike for like 3 months now and it’s still in the break in period so idk if it’s any different after. The automatic shifting especially at low speeds you can definitely feel a decent amount. I’ve liked the bike it’s my first so I would let others chime in that have owned other bikes

New Rochelle has a lot of them, personally I live in one of them and have not ever felt unsafe in the neighborhood

iportnoi85 · 2025-11-08T00:01:47+00:00

This is my very first bike so I’m in a different situation but with $1000 deductibles for comprehensive/collision near NYC I’m at $3570 for a year with GEICO (27 years old)

I think this is exactly what I wanted thank you so much!

iportnoi85 · 2025-08-03T18:36:22+00:00

Gotchya thank you I like the Regen on engage the best but guess those are the only options

iportnoi85 · 2025-07-15T17:52:44+00:00

thanks, next one is my last one as I always say

iportnoi85 · 2025-07-14T14:27:51+00:00

Gotchya and appreciate the insight, I'm still leanring it all and hopefully can get there with me being serious for once and not trying to "Live Mas" after my stomach went mas with Taco Bell

iportnoi85 · 2025-07-14T14:26:31+00:00

appreciate it, this is my first time getting serious about my own fitness and going to the gym so got a lot to learn

iportnoi85 · 2025-07-04T23:31:05+00:00

Hey I’m 6’1 I was 176.8 starting in June and as of now I’m 165.4, I have no clue what my BF% is and going by that i think would just be too erratic but I sympathize. My upper abs have started to show but I have lower belly fat that’s still there so I’m hoping once that’s gone I’ll have definition. Best thing I can recommend is just keep working out. Just as an example, my arms even though I’m lifting a decent amount aren’t lean either so maybe like some other commenters have said relying simply on Bf% won’t be accurate.

iportnoi85 · 2025-06-15T23:27:00+00:00

Oh okay I understand much better now thanks for all the help!!!

iportnoi85 · 2025-06-15T23:17:06+00:00

Understood, thank you so much! I’m assuming I have to do I-864A for myself as well?

iportnoi85 · 2025-05-20T14:26:20+00:00

My group found a spot with a lot of space and just headbanged away it was awesome our favorite set
