Electrical Engineering PE Practice Exam and Technical Study Guide

Great resource to use in addition to the official exam for me. Exam felt very similar with concepts and material, and definitely challenged me but I find it extremely helpful. All problems have solutions clearly explained in the answer key, which helped me with some problems I really found myself getting stumped on. I definitely would reccomend this to anyone who needs some additional tests to work on, as I found it very helpful for my study sessions.

Very in-depth practice exam! Good variety of questions to match the actual PE Exam specifications! The inclusion of qualitative questions is amazing. Zach is really good at making qualitative questions that really test your understanding. Also, in the back of the book, it breaks the questions down by topic which is very helpful in determining next steps and what areas you need to review.I also took the NCEES practice PE exam, and I would say these questions were a little bit more challenging which is good when you’re studying. I’d prefer a harder practice test to better prepare me for the real one.My one drawback is that this practice exam is currently for the exam specifications prior to October 2025, but per the author, a revision should be coming out soon!

The Electrical Engineering PE Practice Exam and Technical Study Guide is hands down one of the most comprehensive and practical resources available for anyone preparing for the Electrical Power PE exam. Whether you're just starting your study journey or looking for a final review before test day, this guide covers all the bases.

This book has a abundant amount of practice questions that are qualitative and quntitative that reflect the PE CBT exam extremely well! Currently taking the 2025 Live PE Class that Zach offers. His attention to detail and ability to teach the content based on theory and real world examples is rare!Each piece of study material really been the glue, that has helped me understand a lot of the PE exam specifications.

The Electrical Engineering PE Practice Exam and Technical Study Guide is an outstanding resource for anyone preparing for the PE Electrical Power exam. This guide is meticulously organized, providing both depth and clarity across the wide range of topics relevant to the exam.The practice exam is especially valuable, as it closely mirrors the structure, difficulty, and style of the actual PE exam. The detailed explanations for each solution not only help reinforce key concepts but also teaches valuable problem-solving strategies that can be applied during the test.What sets this guide apart is its technical study material. It simplifies complex concepts into easily digestible sections, making it perfect for review, whether you're brushing up on fundamentals or tackling more advanced topics which you have not been exposed to. The inclusion of diagrams and practical examples makes it even more user-friendly.I highly recommend this guide for anyone serious about passing the PE Electrical exam. It's comprehensive, well-written, and serves as a reliable study companion.

The biggest problem with this book is that it was written before the computer based exam, so it assumes you can bring it and your other personal favorite references to the exam, instead of directing you to use equations that can be found in the Reference Handbook, which is one of the few references provided during the PE exam. For me, another big problem with this book is the unconventional, arguably unprofessional, equation notation, in particular using less-than < instead of the angle sign ∠. I find this unacceptable to use one math symbol in place of another, especially since there are times the less-than symbol is needed, so it must be interpreted by context instead of being identified by what it actually is. Seeing the less-than sign used for an angle was a distraction I never got used to. There are also slashes // used for parallel signs ║, and carets ^ placed over many characters to indicate it is not the absolute value. To me it's obvious it is not the absolute value if it is not in absolute value brackets ││. I don't like this alternate notation, but even if I did, how helpful is it to use in practice only to sit down to an eight hour test that shows things differently? I want to practice as close to the test day experience as possible, and this notation does not match the NCEES references, or the actual PE test.Another problem is the suggestion to write everything down while solving problems, even very simple ones. As of this writing, at the test center only the supplied laminated sheets and dry erase markers are allowed, which are much harder to use than pen and paper. I wrote as little as possible during the test since it was an extra effort that took so much time, and was not very legible (I did ask for two markers, but even fresh ones are no match for any working pen). The lengthy explanations full of sketches may be helpful for some, but this communicating style was hard for me to relate to the terse approach used in the Reference Handbook and NCEES practice exam, which, however annoying those books may be, are the standards available from those that write the actual test. Still, this book is a good value, and there is no doubt Zach taught me a few things, I just think a few adjustments could make this a better book. Yes, this is an older book, but most of these comments apply to his newer one as well.

Zach Stone is an expert in teaching for the PE exam, and I'm doing his class right now. This book is a great study guide / practice test for those attempting the PE power. Can't recommend it and Zach's other books enough. I've run through this practice book a couple times now.
