Professional Engineering Exam: Power (Need Reference Material)

Has anyone taken the power PE exam in Louisiana in the past few years? I will happily purchase some of your old reference material and will happily accept any advice you have on the best method to study.
I'm signed up for the October exam and I've only ordered the NCEES practice exam book so far. There's a PPI2Pass option that's like a couple grand and they basically guarantee a passing grade. Just wondering if that is worth it.
Thanks in advance!

Highly recommend the testmasters class. 3 weekends in Houston were worth it. I bought the spin-up book and the ncees book and reviewed those before/during/after the class. I'm no genius and was really well prepared for the test.
Get an approved calculator and learn to use it before the class.

I took the test April 2014. Graffeo's The Electrical Engineers Guide to Passing the Power PE Exam is probably your best source for breadth of information. Also checkout the Power Exam section on Engineerboards.com for other people's study information. You will definitely need a copy of NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and I would bring a copy of the NESC. I did not take a review course so cannot comment there, but the talk on engineerboards.com points to the GA Tech course (available online I believe) as one of the better ones. The Electrical - Power exam does not require nearly as many references as the others (e.g. Civil - Structural).
One word of advice is make sure you can do and understand in-depth all of the NCEES practice problems and the Graffeo practice problems.
