Let’s talk about some test prep information we go over on the first day of the course.  This is just a tiny snippet of what we go over.

Electrical Exam Prep Course - Exam Results


For those of you that haven't taken the test, when you're done at the end of the time frame you'll get your test results right there.

It's kind of disheartening sometimes.  But if you have your failed score report sheet with you bring it to the seminar. Some time during one of the breaks we'll sit down with you and show you where to study in the code book because it's kind of tough.

Electrical Exam Prep  Course - Test Breakdown




Looking at this breakdown of the candidate bulletin you know you’ll have six exam questions that are in calculations, theory, plans and definition. (The master electrical exam has more.)

Right now most of you guys know that the definitions are going to be an article 100. Theory, that's a tough one to kind of categorize an open book right? So it's just the calculations. When they say calculations on that top line, you're talking about non-code calculations such as ohm's law calculations. Finally, you got the plans.

Everybody is gonna have a blueprint plans.  Unfortunately, that line item is probably the weakest area that we’ve seen across the board.

What's tough about that line item is, "where"?  If you do that poorly in that line item, where do you go to study those particular sections? What chapter?

And that's the hard part about this breakdown. Yeah, they show you kind of what your exam is going to be about, but you got over 900 pages there.  So, to figure out exactly "where" all those fall into is very tricky.

This is one of the issues that we cover in the electrical exam prep class.

Electrical Exam Prep  Course - Exam Study Handouts



In the electrical test prep class you receive a packet with handouts and notes. If you have a test result just like that, what you can do is take that sheet and study exactly what is on it.

You will have the course outline and breakdown with notes and ideas of areas and content by category.

We've gone through their line items and given you at least a basic set of articles that match up with each one of these line items. This is a remarkable study sheet to have.

Learn more about the seminars coming up this year & remember to register at least 2 weeks before the start date.

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.
