I plan on taking this test this April 16th and was wondering if anyone could point me to any specific questions that they might ask for the Electrical discipline specific exam.
I got the breakdown:
Analog electronic circuits (10% of the total questions)
Communications theory (10%)
Computer and numerical methods (5%)
Computer hardware engineering (5%)
Computer software engineering (5%)
Control systems theory and analysis (10%)
Digital systems (10%)
Electromagnetic theory and applications (10%)
Instrumentation (5%)
Network analysis (10%)
Power systems (5%)
Signal processing (5%)
Solid state electronics and devices (10%)
But was wondering if anyone had any specific examples of the above mentioned topics. Thanks.

Get this book from your library: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...s&n=507846
Anything from the author who "wrote" that book is good. The problems are catagorized into topics (i.e. fluids, statics, mathematics, electrical, etc.) that go from easy to hard. Study the "easy-medium" problems for most to all (you just need to pass remember) the topics given. Then study the "hard" problems specific to your discipline (afternoon section). I took the electrical test for the afternoon and to me it was easy as hell. The bulk of the test consisted of basic digital logic and analog op-amp problems. For example, J/K, D, flip-flops, latches and negative feedback op-amp circuits. The second most popular topics consisted of electronic devices such as mosfets, jfets, and BJT in various circuit configurations and/or device parameter type questions (i.e. lets say Ib = 10uA and Beta = 100, what's Ic?). Lastly, there were some smaller questions dealing with signal and systems (mixers/communcations & fourier spectra), computer engineering (stacks, memory allocation), and power engineering (my school has no classes in power engineering so I had no clue on how to answer those questions -- delta-wye, tri-power phase). I don't remember any electromagnetics questions, but they were probably simple biot-savart, ampere's law or something where you can just look it up in the reference they provide.
Remember that you can just guess since you won't get penalized. Good luck!

I haven't taken the FE's yet, but there is quite a few books out there that cover what its over and what not. If you are looking for things that cover EE specifically, my best recommendations is read read read, there no one book that I know of that covers all the sections.

I don't know anything about the exam. Good luck on the exam mindwaves.

Just wondering, what kind of questions can they ask about the JK, D, and other FFs and latches considering it is a multiple choice test? I really cannot see it being multiple choice. Any input would be helpful. :-)

For simplicity let's say it was a D flip flop and the current state is Q = 0 and Q' = 1. When the input at D is 1 what is the state at the next cycle? Then they'll probably have A) 0 B) 1 C) X D) Z E) none of the above.
Obviously, they're going to have some crazy D's J/K's with nands, nors, ors, xors, ands, or whatever and give you initial state 01011 and find the next state (or even worse the next 2, 3, 4, etc states after). So it's a state machine test.

Just a FYI, I got a notice a few weeks ago that I had passed the exam. I took the general exam on both sections. I finished each section like 2 hours early. Very easy IMO.

Isn't that cheating? Congrats on passing.
