6 Test Taking Habits to Break For The Electrician Exam

6 Test taking habits to break for the electrical test


The electrician exam is hard, that is no secret.  Preparing for it will require a good deal of effort on your part.

Now is an excellent opportunity to shake off any anxiety you’re feeling about the electrician exam.

Go ahead and take the first step by reading this blog post.

Stop:

Not studying.  Take a class and get some exam prep books.  Take as many mock tests as you can to get familiar with the NEC.

The pessimism.  If you think you are going to flop, you will flop. Believe that you will be successful, put some study time into it and you will see better results than if you go at it with pessimism.

Analyzing practice questions. Test takers can learn quite a bit from their mistakes on practice test.  We suggest you take the practice test as a guide to show you around the code book and as a way to see how the questions are framed.

Avoiding your weaknesses.  Whether your weakness is lack of time management or finding keywords quickly in the NEC book, pay attention to those areas and improve on them.  As you take the practice exam, pay attention to what component you are struggling with so you can spend more time studying it.

Ignoring the Candidate Bulletin.  The examiner administering your electrician exam provides a bulletin which lists the subject areas in the exam.  Use this!

Letting anxiety control you.  Turn your anxiety into motivation.  Being a little nervous is normal so have patience with yourself.  Taking practice tests should help you gain confidence.

Electrician Candidate Information Bulletin

Good Morning, Today we received a call from someone asking us the phone number to the PSI so they can change their appointment.  While we don't do the actual exams here, we are more than happy to help :)  We put together a cheat blog with the link to the ECIB , Table of Contents, FAQ's, and some shameless marketing for our seminars and books.  (I'd be a terrible business person if I didn't add a couple of sales links ;) Feel free to share this page with any Texas electrician preparing for their exam. This will come in handy. The Electrical Candidate Information Bulletin can be found here .  You may download and save it, print it or just read it online.
