Keep in mind that although the exam content will be similar if not the same, the new book has a ton of adjustments and new codes.  These new codes and articles apply to Chapters 1-9...yes all of it.  If you haven’t already done so, you should take a few hours and go through your old book and the new book to locate the differences.  Well, that is if you don’t have work and family and a LIFE.  Photo source: ClipArt “I’ll see you next year sweetheart, Daddy has to go study the code changes.” For an easier way to understand and review the code changes we suggest Mike Holt’s “Changes to the NEC 2014”.  Holt h
