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.

Q.What is on the exam?
A.
Q.What is the time limit?

A. The passing score for the Master electrical exam in Texas is 70%. The passing score for the Journeyman electrical exam in Texas is also 70%.
Q.What book can I take to the exam, and can I highlight/tab/write in it?
A.The examinations are OPEN BOOK. The following reference
material is allowed in the examination site:
National Electrical Code®, 2014 Edition
Candidates are responsible for bringing their own references to the examination center. Reference materials may be highlighted, underlined and/or indexed prior to the examination session. Brief descriptive notes for the purpose of indicating text, tables or areas of special importance are allowed. However, reference materials containing lengthy notes will not be allowed into the examination. When in doubt, you should bring reference materials that do not contain markings. Any candidate caught writing, highlighting, underlining and/or indexing in the references during the examination will be reported to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Furthermore, candidates are not permitted to bring in any additional papers (loose or attached) with their approved references.
References may be tabbed/indexed with permanent tabs only. (permanent tabs are defined as tabs that would tear the page if removed). Temporary tabs, (defined as Post-It notes, or other tabs that may be removed without tearing the page) are not allowed and must be removed from the reference before the exam will begin. Any loose leaf NEC code books, such as, spiralbound or ring bound copies, will NOT be allowed in the test center. Scratch paper will be provided. Candidates will NOT be permitted to remove from the examination room ANY material that has been written on. (This would include books).
Any bound edition of the National Electrical Code® may be used for the examination. However, the examination questions are based on the 2014 bound edition. The NEC HANDBOOK is not allowed in the examination room.
Q.How come the seminars you give are for both Master and Journeyman exam prep?
A. If you look in the ECIB page 8, you'll see that both exams have the exact same topics, except Masters will have more of it and at a more difficult level. We cover these harder levels in the seminar while the Journeymen practice on their own questions.
Hope this helps you and feel free to ask us any questions you may have. If we don't have the answer we'll find it for you!
Stay warm my friends,
Nancy
