This book is an excellent study guide and reference during the exam. The questions are very similar to the actual exam in terms of level of difficulty, format, and language. If you can work through this book, the Sample Exam by the same author, and the NCEES Sample Exam, you will have no problem with the exam.

See my review under the Reference Manual for recommendations from someone who just took the exam.

Note that its a pretty slim book for the price. The questions and answers are complete, but not very representative of what I found on the test. The solutions also slog through the textbook method when there are (semi) obvious shortcuts that could have been pointed out. Not useful as a reference; I never opened it during the exam (an index might have helped). If you really go through and work all the problems it would still be a pretty good review though.

So I bought this book and it is pretty decent, but I was not too impressed with the price. It is very expensive for a soft-cover 72 page book. I should have looked at the number of pages, but for the price, I expected more. Nevertheless, I recommend this book because the problems seem to be well-choosen and the book well written.

This "book" (booklet really) is way too expensive for its content and size. It is not really useful as a reference during the exam. The questions are similar to the actual exam though, but most of them you can find as sample explanations in the reference/review book "Electrical Engineering Reference Manual, for the Electrical and Computer PE Exam" by the same author. I would guess that this booklet is actually helpful in helping you review exercises without having to go back and forth between sections of the large reference book since all exercises are organized together. I suggest the publisher offer this at a lower price and I could almost guarantee more and better reviews.

A bit pricey and the questions are not completely representative, but I still found it to be useful in getting me back into problem-solving. I didn't use it as a time-saver, but simply as additional questions to use in my preparation.

It was based on previous make up O P. E. exam. did not help me that much.

It is a good source for preparing PE Exam.
