TESTMASTERS FOR PE ELECTRICAL POWER??
(OP)
I have been studying for the PE for the last couple of months. I got an email from Testmasters for a review for the PE that guarantees passing. My work won't pay for the course, which is $1600 and I have to take (4) vacation days, and spend (4) weekend days taking the course. I also will have to travel from Dallas to Houston and pay for lodging for myself. All that being said, does anyone know if the Testmasters course is worth it?! Of course their website has customer reviews that all say it's amazing and you cannot pass the PE without the course, but that's off their website.

I hope this is not a marketing ploy.

I just looked at the Testmaster website and they don't even state the proper format for the EE exam - they still state it has a breadth area and a depth area, which hasn't been the case since April 2009. It also appears that they cover both power and electronics/comm/controls areas in their course, which means that you're paying for them to cover material in an area you won't be tested on. They also state that they provide you with the 7th edition of the EERM by Camara, though the 8th edition is the most recent. The testimonials are from people raving about how good their course was. Do you think they would post any from dissatisfied customers? Of course not! All of this together makes me wonder if you consider this a good investment based on what you said it would cost you in terms of the course, travel, and vacation. You'd probably still come out spending less if you took a couple of undergrad college courses in power and electrical machines at night - you could even audit them if you didn't want to do any homework or worry about the exams.

No, they can't guarantee you'll pass.
The best they can offer is some sort of money back guarantee.
Some will pass, hey that's one more testimonial. Some will fail, never to be heard from again.
