re: PPI review course for PE exam

if you don't take the class (which is fine), somehow you need to get a copy of a large number of practice problems/solutions (this is the main value of the classes IMO). decided to skip out on the class, and studied on saturdays on my own for 2 months reviewing old reference manuals and theory. i would never have passed except for someone lending me their copy of the practice problems from a class. which i only borrowed the tuesday before the PE.

i worked practice problems 12 hours/day the two days before the test and i learned about 10x as much as i had from all the reference material reading i had done over 8-9 wknds combined. i really don't think i would have passed otherwise. if i'd known better i'd have just spent 3-4 wknds doing the practice problems instead of 8-9 reading old textbooks. good luck.
