From the Foreword
I have written over 40 books on the electrical examination for journeyman and masters. I have prepared over 20,000 for their exam over the years. It is my personal opinion that this book contains the type of exam questions a person should be asked to determine if they have the cognitive knowledge to install an electrical circuit properly.
This book contains four 30 question exams and a final review exam of 120 questions. For the teacher using this book in a classroom, the exams and answer pages have been perforated for easy removal.
Exam 1: The student should read pages 1 through 3 1 and then answer the 30 questions from Exam 1 closed book with a time limit of 30 minutes.
Exam 2: The student should read pages 32 through 60 and then answer the 30 questions from Exam 2 closed book with a time limit of 30 minutes.
Exam 3: The student should read pages 60 through 87 and then answer the 30 questions from Exam 3 closed book with a time limit of 30 minutes.
Exam 4: The student should read pages 88 through 149 and then answer the 30 questions from Exam 4 closed book with a time limit of 30 minutes.
Final Exam: The 120 questions are a review of the four exams and the 120 questions should be answered closed book with a time limit of 90 minutes.
Notes for the student:
Reading is a process of sensory reception, involving skilled eye movements and a brain process, in which the meaning of the printed symbols are elaborated. The eye is like a camera relaying the picture to the brain. So we read not only our eyes, but also with our brains. Reading is a very complex process, as it is obvious if you remember how long it took you to learn to read.
You cannot excel in a subject if you don't understand it. The key is learning and understanding a subject. Memory comes from over learning. You don't forget how to walk or ride a bicycle.
Study remains an art. To be successful in your studies you must have definite vocational goals and a high personal ambition. High achievement comes from strong ambition. Reading is the most important single skill in study. Reading is an exercise of the mind.
There are different plateaus and a gradual progression of learning in the electrical trade. Plateaus are like landings in a flight of stairs.
Go ahead, strap on that toolbelt and call yourself an electrician, but before you do, realize you are a member of the skilled trades electrical profession; a professional. The electrician must have the wisdom to recognize the responsibility to keep technically proficient.
From the Author
I found it amusing when an electrical worker that has passed the Master Electrician license exam qualifying as an electrical contractor asked me in my bookstore if I have any "cheat sheets" or "short cuts" for his workers in the field so they can determine at a glance what size wire to install.
Good grief what is going on "out there"? I've been in the electrical industry for over 50 years, and if I've learnt one thing, it's that there is no short cut! I'm still learning.
I started my electrical apprenticeship in 1956. Back in those days you were studying to become a skilled craftsman in a trade. Back then you were taught to "train your brain before you test it." Now after 50 years in the electrical industry I'm not sure what is being taught and tested. I'm not sure how many "electricians" are out there. Many are referred today as "electrical workers" or "installers."
It is my personal opinion that this book contains the type of exam questions a person should be asked to determine if they have the cognitive knowledge to install an electrical circuit properly.
This is an excellent book for an apprentice or training class as it contains exams with answers in which to grade the student.
