Often times when having conversations with other Power Engineers studying for their Power Engineering exams I get asked “What is the easiest order to write your Power Engineering exams?”
I’ve also seen this question asked on Power Engineer’s Annonymous and Power Engineer Central Forum throughout the years.
Usually, you don’t have much choice on which order you write your exams when you’re enrolled in school. Other times when you self-study you’ll have complete control. I had to start somewhere. So the one assumption I made is you start with 4A and then continue from 4th to 1st Class.
I should clear one thing up before we get into the path I would take to tackle my exams. And that is, you’ll notice the path I took is much different than the path I’m recommending. This is because on December 1, 2013, the rules of the game changed.
Before December 1, 2013, you had to complete your steam time and have it approved before you were able to write your Part B examinations.
After December 1, 2013, you can now write Part A or Part B examinations regardless of whether your steam time has been completed.
This has now led to many options for you to choose from to complete your exams. Hopefully, this summary will be a valuable aid when deciding what is the easiest order to write your power engineering exams.

Do you agree or disagree with this order? If you disagree, what changes would you make and why? I’ll have no problem making changes if it’ll make it easier for everyone.
Note: After writing this post I realized. The path could be quite different depending on which level of Power Engineering certification you desire to obtain. For now, though, I will leave it from 4th to 1st.
Recently 2B3, 2B2, & 2B1 have become multiple choice. This could impact what the easiest order to write your power engineering exams.
