Be honest — have you ever re-watched the same lecture three times because you felt like you weren't retaining it?

That's one of the most common traps in FE Electrical and PE Power preparation.

Here's the thing: in Phase 1, obsessing over retention is counterproductive.

Your goal in Phase 1 is coverage and progress — not perfection.

Because here's what actually happens:
✅ You cover the material
✅ You track your progress visually
✅ You see effort → results connection
✅ You build momentum

The deep retention, the Level 3 understanding, and the gap-filling that come in Phase 2 and Phase 3.

Chasing perfect retention in Phase 1 is like trying to build a skyscraper starting at floor 44.

New short video on this mindset is up now.

Where are you right now in your preparation — Phase 1, 2, or 3?

Reminder: my Norton’s Theorem webinar is happening this week on May 29 at 12:00 PM ET.

If Norton’s Theorem has ever felt confusing or slow under exam pressure, this session is for you. I’ll break it down step by step and show you how to apply it confidently on FE Electrical & Computer and PE Power problems.

In this live training, I’ll cover:
- What Norton’s Theorem is and when to use it.
- How to find Norton current and Norton resistance.
- How Norton compares with Thevenin equivalents.
- How to simplify circuits faster.

If you’re preparing for either exam, I’d love for you to join me live.

Most engineers think passing the FE Electrical exam requires expensive courses and a stack of books.
It does not.

Many engineers have passed on a tight budget by following a simple pattern:

Start with the NCEES FE Reference Handbook. It is free, it is the only reference allowed on exam day, and it is the most important study tool you have. Learn to navigate it quickly and use it in every practice session.

Solve problems daily. Budget-conscious candidates who passed focused on consistent daily practice using free or low-cost problem sets. Speed and recognition come from repetition, not expensive materials.

Avoid buying multiple resources. The engineers who overspent almost always bought too many books and switched between them. The ones who passed on a budget chose one reliable source and used it fully.

Add structure when you hit a wall. Free tools can take you far. But free tools without a clear structure leave gaps. Many budget students passed free resources alone on a second attempt only after adding one organized study guide.

You do not need every resource. You need a focused plan, daily practice, and one well-chosen tool when you are ready to invest.

Quick question for engineers preparing for FE Electrical or PE Power:

When you write Ohm's law, do you write V = IR?

Most engineers do. It's what we're taught.

But here's the problem: V = IR is incomplete.

The correct form is V = IZ, where Z is impedance.

The moment your circuit has a capacitor or an inductor in it
V = IR will give you the wrong answer.

The reason is frequency.

Resistance is frequency independent. It doesn't matter if your circuit is running at 1 Hz or 1 MHz — the resistor behaves exactly the same.

Reactance is frequency-dependent. Change the frequency, and your inductor or capacitor behaves completely differently.

Impedance captures both. Z = R + jX.

New session on this is now live. 👇

Drop a comment: Did anyone teach you V = IZ in school, or was it always V = IR?

Tejas passed the PE Power exam on his first attempt.

What made his story different was that he lost an entire month of prep time right in the middle of it.

He had to travel overseas in May. Came back in June.
Had to rebuild from scratch.

Here's what he did:

📅 Booked a hard exam date — August 12th
📚 Studied 7 AM to 9:30 PM, every day, for 3–4 weeks
📝 Built hundreds of pages of handwritten notes
✅ Scored ~90% and ~88% on the two practice exams
🏁 Finished the actual exam a full hour early

~400 hours. 7 months. First attempt.

His full interview is now live. Link below 👇

If your own preparation has hit a wall — this one is for you.

Most PE Power candidates study right up until exam day.

That's actually a mistake.

Your brain needs time to consolidate what you've learned. Feeding it new information the night before doesn't help. It creates noise on top of everything you've already built.

Here's what actually reduces stress and improves exam performance:

Start the application process early. Paperwork and logistics create anxiety when left to the last minute. Handle them months before your exam date so your preparation window stays focused.

Pace your studying across months, not weeks. Consistent daily effort compounds. Cramming doesn't. Break your preparation into weekly milestones and track progress against them.

Know your weak areas and attack them early. Most engineers spend too much time on what they already know. Identify your gaps from the start and give them disproportionate attention.

Don't study the day before your exam. Finish your revision two days out. Sleep well. Eat properly. Limit screen time in the final 12 hours. Walk into that exam room rested and clear-headed.

Stress comes from feeling unprepared. Feeling prepared comes from months of consistent, structured work. Not the final 24 hours.

Rest is part of the strategy. Treat it that way.

Engineers preparing for the FE Electrical exam have been asking about the FE
Reference Handbook 10.6 update since NCEES announced it.

Wasim Asghar did a full page-by-page comparison of version 10.5 and 10.6.

Here is what he found for the FE Electrical and Computer section:

Three changes. All cosmetic.

1. Paragraphs in computer networking were reformatted for readability.
2. "Internet layer" changed from capital I to lowercase i.
3. "Thevenin" now appears with its accent mark — Thévenin.

That's it.

No new formulas. No topics added. No topics removed. The exam specification itself has not changed.

If you're taking the exam before June 30th, stay on 10.5.
On or after July 1st, download 10.6 from ncees.org.

Your study strategy doesn't need to change either way.

Most engineers overthink the timing of the FE exam.
The honest answer: the best time is your final year of school, or as close to graduation as possible. Here's why.

The FE Electrical exam covers your entire undergraduate engineering curriculum. 17 sections. 110 questions. 5 hours 20 minutes. When you're in your final year, that material is the freshest it will ever be in your career. Your study habits are sharp. You're still in academic mode.

Every year you delay, the gap widens. Circuit analysis fades. Control theory feels foreign. What used to take a week to review takes a month to relearn.

A few things worth knowing before you register:
→ You can take the FE in your final year of an ABET-accredited program
→ The exam is offered year-round at Pearson VUE test centers
→ Start preparing at least 2 to 3 months before your exam date
→ Use the NCEES FE Reference Handbook from day one of prep

The engineers who take it early graduate with EIT next to their name, walk into interviews with a credential most peers don't have, and start the PE licensure clock four years sooner.

The best time to take the FE exam is before life pulls you in ten directions.

If you have an engineering degree from outside the US, here is something most engineers in your position do not know:

You can still get a US PE license.

The path is straightforward. Most engineers never start because they assume the door is closed before they even try it.

Here is the actual sequence:

Step 1 — NCEES credential evaluation.
Go to ncees.org. It costs $400-$500.
Submit your transcripts directly from your university. They evaluate your degree and identify any gaps. Most engineers get the green light or are told they need a few additional credits — which a master's degree often covers.

Step 2 — Register for the FE exam.
Most states do not require you to complete credential evaluation before registering. Arizona and New York are the main exceptions. If those states are a barrier, register through a different decoupled state and still take the exam.

Step 3 — Pass FE, then take PE Power.
In more than 20 US states you can sit for the PE Power exam immediately after passing the FE exam — no 4 years of experience required first.

The biggest mistake I see internationally trained engineers make is starting from the bottom of this process — obsessing over references, paperwork and credential evaluation — instead of starting with the two things that matter most:

The FE exam. And then the PE exam.

Once both exams are cleared, the subjective review of your application tilts in your favor. Boards want to license people who have already proved they can pass.
