More specifically, you might be thinking...
⚡It's been a long time since school and I need a study routine…
It's been years since I've taken tests and I need accountability/consistency when studying.
💰 I don't have a massive budget... I'm afraid it'll cost too much, and passing the test isn't guaranteed.
🧠 I feel like I'll never be able to pass the exam, even if I study... The exam is hard, even if I study with the resources I have, I don't think I'll pass.
But you're not alone, these are challenges faced by everyone when trying to figure out how to pass the PE Power exam.
What if there was an better way to study and pass the exam?
The truth is, you don't need to have a PhD degree in engineering, have deep pockets, or even need work experience to pass the exams.
