When I took the FE exam, it threw me off that there were non-multiple choice questions where you had to do stuff like drag answers to the correct spots on a diagram, more answer choices than a typical A-B-C-D, etc. To help prepare for the PE, I purchased this book to get exposure to these type of problems and familiar with it, and it has been a great resource. Explanations are clear, and if you still have questions on something, you get access to the online community where someone else has most likely asked what you are questioning. Finally, you do get access to this if you purchase Zach's class, but as someone that travels a lot for work, this was great for me to study on planes. Its also nice to give your eyes a break from all the screen time from work + studying.

I am currently studying to take my PE in 3 months. I had seen the author's Youtube channel and decided to buy his original book. Based on how well that one is written, I also decided to buy this one. I really like the way the author explains out all the steps. I've found other books like this where the author tends to skip steps that seem obvious to them (but not always obvious to you!), but have not found that to be true with any of Zack's work. It's clear he has been doing this for awhile and can help you avoid the common pitfalls if you work through this book and put the time in. I also like how Zack has a nice mix of problems that really push your understanding of all 11 test subjects. I also find it helpful how he has the problems broken down both by type of AIT problem as well as by subject matter. It makes it really easy to flag subjects you are weak in that require a deeper dive. I would highly recommend both this new AIT book and his original practice test book!

I'm taking Zach Stone's review course now, and used this as my second timed practice exam a few weeks ago. Compared to the official NCEES practice exam, it is more difficult but the solutions explanation provided are much MUCH better! Zach is very good at explaining solutions in easy to understand terms. As a tool to get more practice in on key subjects, this is a near perfect resource! For that reason I give it 5 stars! That being said, I did have two gripes when I took it as a timed practice test. First, the questions are arranged by subject with the more challenging ones in the second half, which I found frustrating at the time. Second, the NEC questions are at the very end and I felt a few of them were too broad in scope for a timed practice test. In retrospect these are both more pro than con if your goal is to better prepare yourself for the real test, so I didn't deduct any stars for that. You'll learn more from this test than you will from the NCEES official practice test, especially if you read through his guide at the beginning on how to use this resource and follow through with his recommendations! The only other thing I'll point out is that this is an AIT only test, meaning the questions are not multiple choice. The real exam includes some multiple choice and some AIT format problem. This practice exam presents all of the questions in the various AIT formats you could see (i.e. select all that apply, fill in the blank, drag and drop, interact with the figure, etc.). That makes it a little more challenging but also makes it a better gauge of where you stand, and he provides a benchmark of what a solid first time score looks like, which I found very helpful.
