How To Use These Practice Questions Effectively

Don’t mark and skip questions you know — take the time to find them in the NEC so you’ll get better at navigating.

Don’t do these questions just once — take these exams multiple times. You’ll learn something new with every pass through.

Don’t just find the answer — go to the table of contents and check the chapter every time you answer a question. This will help you get familiar with the structure of the NEC.

Too many Electricians in the field discourage the study of the National Electrical Code, sometimes without knowing it. When we say things like "we don't use the NEC on job-sites," although this may be true for the most part, it sends a message to the younger tradesmen and tradeswomen that the NEC doesn't matter. I think it's time for us to pick a fight with this idea and push back on this limiting mindset

5 Things to avoid during the Journeyman Exam.

There’s a lot of good information on what TO DO when taking the journeyman exam but very little on what you SHOULDN’T DO.

These 5 things can be the key you need to pass that journeyman exam and move forward in your electrical career:

5 things do avoid ⬇️⬇️⬇️

1. Don’t second guess yourself (change answers unless you’re %100 sure)

2. Don’t Linger to long on a question (some questions are designed to eat your time)

3. Rush to answer a question (read each question twice)

4. Don’t use the other two books they give you

5. Don’t immediately start the test when you sit down
