Electrical Power PE Practice Exam: 80 AIT Practice Problems for the CBT Format

🚀NEW! Updated for the Exam Specifications Effective Oct 2025 - 2nd Edition Republished Aug 2025What Are AIT Questions?With the transition of the Power PE Exam from paper-and-pencil to the new computer-based test (CBT) format, NCEES® introduced four new types of exam questions in addition to multiple choice. These new exam questions are known as alternative item type (AIT) questions. There has been a lack of AIT-focused study material on the market to help engineers prepare for the PE exam until the publication of this book that you now hold in your hands.What Are the Benefits of Studying AIT Practice Problems?Compared to multiple-choice questions, AIT questions can be much more difficult. Answering AIT questions correctly will require you to really challenge and refine your understanding of each PE exam subject area, especially when it comes to maximum or minimum values, interpreting graphs, proper rounding, and how each variable in any given relationship relates with the others. Each AIT practice problem that you are able to fully understand after working through the detailed solutions in this book represents a new relationship that you now have a much stronger grasp of and that can be applied to a higher number of exam questions, especially the much more common multiple-choice-type question. Taking the time to work through these problems will likely result in a much higher overall exam score with a greater chance of passing.What Are the Goals and Intentions of This Book?The primary goal of this book is to help you dramatically improve your overall PE exam score by increasing your understanding across all exam subjects as quickly as possible. It is intended to be a powerful learning tool that will rapidly improve your overall exam proficiency. The average level of difficulty for each problem will be greater than what you can expect to see on the PE exam. This is intentional. You will be challenged. You will be pushed. You will learn far more than you ever thought possible for the Electrical Power PE Exam from one single practice exam.You will also enjoy how much your other practice exam scores improve after taking the time to fully internalize the lessons contained in every single solution to the problems contained in this practice exam.About the AuthorZach Stone, P.E. is the instructor for the popular online class for the Power PE Exam located at www.electricalpereview.com.
