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.

Texas Electricians- The End is Near- How to Avoid Getting Lost in the Shuffle

How to Avoid Getting Lost in the Shuffle If you haven't heard that the end of the 2011 NEC Exams is coming up, then you've been living under a rock or working way too hard. That's right guys, if you have applied to take your exam but have not yet passed or even taken the exam, you have a deadline.  As of September 1, 2014, the TDLR will only accept and recognize the 2014 version of the  National Electrical Code ®  on the field and in the testing site.  The exam will be based on the 2014 version of the book, you will still be allowed to bring in your 2011 but we do not recommend that.  If you already have your 2014, you must have already noticed that there a great deal of updates on the code.  Your first clue should be the number of pages, the book has gotten BIGGER! We have the last few seminars already lined up, there is limited seating and I strongly recommend that you reserve a seat.  Alternatively, if you don't have time for a seminar and...
