I've been in the electrical field for about six years and finally decided to get serious about the PEAT certification this past winter. First attempt back in October was a disaster — I scored a 68 and the passing threshold is 75, so I had some real work to do. Honestly thought I could just review my old textbooks and wing it, which was a mistake.
What turned things around was actually committing to a structured approach. I spent about 8 weeks going through a solid PEAT study guide section by section — power quality, grounding, transient protection — instead of jumping around to whatever felt comfortable. I also started doing PEAT practice test questions daily, even just 20-30 questions on lunch breaks. Tracking which topics I kept missing helped me stop wasting time on stuff I already knew.
Passed with an 82 on my second try last month. Happy to share what worked and what didn't if anyone's in the same boat. Curious what resources others found useful — there's not a ton of material out there for this one.
