Re: Electrical Exam Prep


When I took it 5 years ago, that part of the test had a time limit of 4 hours.

Re: Electrical Exam Prep


Is it me or has no one else noticed the OP never indicated what State he wanted to sit for?

Call me crazy, but out of 51 States, only 1 will be testing in April?

Wow. That sounds too easy. Mine had time limits, and both open and closed book portions.

Re: Electrical Exam Prep


Wayside...you might be a little late for a "prep class"....the classes are usually set up to end a week or so before the test date.

More importantly ~ have you received info from the State confirming a test date?

You know the feeling of extreme satisfaction after passing the previous evenings toxic mix of beer, shots and sliders?

Multiply that by 100x ....that's the feeling after you pass that test


...but then again, I "studied" for a "week" at the Belmar shore house
[I did a prep course leading up to that week]

I study at the public library because their are no distractions there. I go a few times a week for a few hours at a time and hit the books hard. Right now I'm using Mike Holt's prep exam guide and I'm familiar with all of the material so I'm just trying to keep it fresh in my mind. I need to know about the fire alarms and business law cus' I don't know jack about those two areas of the exam.
