8 Test Taking Tips for the Electrical PSI Exam


These electrical exam taking tips will help you. Here are some basic electrical test prep tips to keep in mind when getting ready for the big one.

Test taking tip #1

Give yourself enough time to study
Don't leave it until the last minute to cram.  Download and use the
Candidate Information Bulletin for testing info (it's FREE).

Test taking tip #2

Organize your study space
Make sure you have enough space to spread your code book and notes.
Have you got enough light? Is your chair comfortable? Get rid of all distractions.
Also, make sure you are comfortable so you can concentrate.

Test taking tip #3

Practice on old electrical tests. Many great resources are available on Amazon
Books like these use the format that the examiners use to get you familiarized with the exam.

Test taking tip #4

Explain your answers to others.
Get together with other electricians or visit forums online to discuss exam questions
and theories.

Test taking tip #5 

Organize study groups with friends or join a seminar.

Test taking tip # 6

Sleep - This should be a no-brainer but many people stress too much the night prior
or cram all night. Just go to sleep.

Test taking tip # 7

Stay calm
This is not the time to panic, it’s only a test and if you fail, try again and prepare
better next time. Many students become paralyzed during the test. Take several
deep breaths and take it one step at a time.

Test taking tip # 8

Don’t rush
Many guys who rush through the test misunderstand directions or don’t catch
changes in the directions and fail a simple question. Don’t fall for their traps.
Remember to answer the questions you know first, then return to the beginning
and work on the rest.

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. Make sure to bookmark this link so you can refer to it during your studies.
