Power Grid Operator Exam Prep
For NERC Certification Tests
Free · In‑App Purchases
New: progress syncs across your iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own iCloud. Plus nine control-room scenarios, debriefed against the standards' clocks.
Power Grid Operator Exam Prep is an independent trainer for the four System
Operator Certification examinations of the North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC): Reliability Coordinator (RC); Balancing, Interchange and
Transmission (BT); Transmission Operator (TO); and Balancing and Interchange (BI).
ONE BANK, FOUR CREDENTIALS
All four examinations are drawn from the same six content domains and 31
knowledge areas; only the number of scored questions per area changes, and that
table is published. Pick your credential and the whole app re-weights: your
readiness estimate, your weak areas and how a mock paper is sampled. Every
answer counts towards all four.
SCORED THE WAY THE EXAMINATION IS
NERC passes candidates on an absolute cut score, not a percentage: 92 of 120 for
RC and BT, 76 of 100 for TO and BI. So the headline figure is a projected score
out of the paper, and weak areas are ranked by how many scored questions they
are costing you.
MOCK PAPERS SAMPLED TO THE OUTLINE
A mock paper draws exactly the number of questions the content outline lists
for each of the 31 knowledge areas. Three hours, flag and return freely, no
feedback until you submit, then a full review with an explanation and a
reference on every question.
NEW: THE CONTROL-ROOM SIMULATOR
Take a shift at the BA, TOP or RC desk in nine scenarios, from a unit trip at
the evening peak and an IROL exceedance against its Tv to EEA 3, a lost EMS,
voice paths down and an evacuated control room. One model runs the system and
the clock stops at each decision: read the live displays, choose what to do or
answer a three-part communication, then watch it play out. The debrief counts,
never as a percentage, the obligations you met or missed against the
standards' own clocks, and explains every decision. Every number is tagged as a
NERC figure, a value your company or RC sets, or a model assumption. New
numbers every run.
GENERATED DISPLAYS, NEW EVERY TIME
• a six-bus one-line with flows, ratings and an N-1 contingency analysis
report: find the worst contingency and decide what it obliges you to do;
• a Balancing Authority AGC control board, with the ACE left for you to
calculate.
Plus twenty calculation drills with worked solutions.
1,224 ORIGINAL QUESTIONS
Written from the freely published sources (the content outlines, the NERC
Glossary of Terms and the enforceable Reliability Standards) and checked again
by a separate pass. Each carries NERC's cognitive level: recall,
application or analysis.

NOT AFFILIATED
Power Grid Operator Exam Prep is an independent study aid. It is not affiliated
with, endorsed by, or connected to the North American Electric Reliability
Corporation, its Regional Entities, or Pearson VUE. NERC, the credential names
and the examination codes are used only to identify the examinations this app
prepares for. All content is original work. The simulator is a study aid: it is
not approved by NERC and grants no continuing-education hours.
Reliability Standards are revised regularly. Verify any requirement against the
currently enforceable standard at nerc.com, and against your own entity's
operating procedures, before operational use.
Ratings & Reviews
New: your progress follows you across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
• Answers, your review schedule, mock papers and simulator runs come together on every device signed in to your iCloud account. Nothing to set up: the switch is in Library › Sync.
• It runs on your own iCloud. There is no account, and the developer cannot see your progress.
• Each device keeps its own copy, so studying offline works as before and catches up when you are back online.
• With sync on, "Reset all progress" clears every device.
• The free questions, free mock paper and free simulator run are shared by your synced devices.
