REE Board Exam study guide
REE Board Exam · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Registered Electrical Engineer (REE) is a Philippine professional title conferred through the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) after a candidate passes the electrical engineering licensure examination. PRC's electrical engineering page sits alongside its other regulated professions, and PRC's online services list the Registered Electrical Engineer - with passers from May 2010 to date - among the professions whose Certificate of Board Rating and Passing may be requested through an online appointment. The same list separately names the Registered Master Electrician and the Professional Electrical Engineer, so the three titles should not be confused when you read PRC advisories or file a request. Application is handled through the PRC online portal, and PRC publishes the list of requirements and the examination schedule; candidates should confirm every date, fee, and documentary requirement there before filing, because these change between testing cycles. The REE Board Exam study guide has 3 sections and about 1,023 words.
01Mathematics for the REE Board: Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Probability
Mathematics in the REE board is applied, not abstract. Expect algebra (quadratics, binomial expansion, exponents and logarithms), trigonometry (identities, law of sines and cosines, radian measure), analytic geometry (lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, distance and midpoint formulas), differential and integral calculus (limits, product/quotient/chain rules, maxima-minima, areas, integration by parts), simple first-order differential equations, complex numbers in rectangular and polar form, matrices and determinants, and probability and statistics (permutations, combinations, binomial probability, mean, median, standard deviation).

GEAS bundles the non-major fundamentals: physics (kinematics, Newton's laws, work-energy, momentum, thermodynamics, waves, optics), chemistry (gas laws, stoichiometry, solutions, pH, electrochemistry), statics and strength of materials, fluid mechanics, engineering materials, engineering economy, and basic computer and ethics items. Questions are usually one- or two-step applications, so recognizing the governing formula matters more than derivation.

Power covers generation, transmission, distribution, and the machines that link them: three-phase circuits, per-unit analysis, transformers, synchronous and induction machines, DC machines, transmission-line models, fault currents, protective relaying, and power-factor correction. Expect numerical items on power, efficiency, regulation, slip, and fault levels.
