Description

If you're getting ready to take the electrician's exam and drowning in pages of tables, rules and exceptions, here's the book you need.

Electrician's Exam Preparation Guide, Updated to the 2008 National Electrical Code a book of questions and answers based on actual electrician's exams over the last few years.

You'll find almost a thousand multiple-choice questions to study, based on actual tests administered over the last few years in states and counties across the United States. The questions are written just as they are on the exams, except the answer and an explanation is provided below each question. You can test your knowledge as you go through the book.

Each chapter of the book begins with a basic explanation of the topic, followed by dozens of questions on that particular area of electrical work. There are diagrams to aid you in understanding the subject, and direct references to the 2008 National Electrical Code sections or tables that apply to the questions. The chapters cover practically all the subjects likely to be tested on the exam, including:

Electrical Systems,
Electric Services,
Utilization Equipment,
Transformers and Capacitors,
Electrical Motors and Motor Controls,
Special Occupancies,
Distribution Equipment,
Branch Circuits and Feeders,
Electrical Calculations,
Electrical Measuring and Testing, and more.

Read each question and try to pick the correct answer. Then look to see if you were right, if not, review the National Electrical Code section cited and make sure you understand why the given answer is correct.

Once you've been through the book and can answer all the questions, it's time to take the practice test included in the back. Take the test as though it were the real one. Give yourself the allotted time. Then grade yourself. The answer page is just before the index. Any questions you missed - go back to the chapter on that subject and review it again.

New: A CD-ROM with all the questions in the book, in an interactive format with the answers and any pertinent code sections popping up with a mouse click. Let your computer be your teacher and make studying for the exam fun. You can even take the practice test on your computer, and let it grade you. This new way to study is far easier than forcing your self to stare at a book for hours on end. You will need a computer with a CD-ROM drive running Microsoft Windows.

Haven't applied for the exam yet? There's a listing of State Contractor's Examination Offices and who to contact for an application form. You'll also learn how to prepare for the exam and what to expect on examination day. This is a tool that every journeyman and master electrician candidate will find well worth their investment.
