7 Tips to Pass the PSI Test in Texas | Electrical Exam Prep







Here are some prep tips you can look over this week.  Please take a moment to look over the material on our website.  Let us know if there is anything you want us to cover!



For in-depth material, check out our seminars in Texas.  Classes are extra small to comply with COVID-19, so register fast to hold your seat.



Tip #1  The test is based on the current NEC.



🚩Allowed:

-to bring a standard printed NEC (not a hard-cover)

-small notes written in pen

-to tab your book with NEC tabs



🚩Not Allowed:

-Hardcover NEC

-Small printed items tucked in the book,

-Stapled items to any pages in the book,

-large paragraphs of information or calculations in the book.



Tip #2 Questions in the Exam

When you go take the exam, one of the first objectives is to scan the test for all time wasting questions designed to confuse you.



Tip #3 Don’t Freak Out

When you are sitting in for the electrical test you will see other people walking out of the test room sooner than you.



Don't let that freak you out.



1.  The test center administers exams for many other industries, not just the electrical one.



2. Their exams may be shorter than yours.



3. Even if another electrician is testing at the same time as you and finishes earlier than you, it doesn't mean he/she is smarter than you and has it all figured out.



Keep your head in the game. Focus on you and your training.  The people that stay until the end of their exam have a better chance of passing than those who rush out of there.



Tip # 4 Finding the Answers in Your NEC



There is no such thing as opening your NEC book and magically finding the answer to your exam questions.



👉You have to learn how the book is laid out.



👉You have to know the chapters in it. 



👉You have to learn to navigate. 



👉You also have to build your knowledge.

Tip # 7 NEC Update

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!
