The official bulletin containing content (subjects covered in the exam), allowed time and test date scheduling are documented in the downloadable PDF files maintained by ProV. The bulletin is specific to your jurisdiction and trade. PDF files are accessed from the LANDING PAGE button shown above. After going to that page, scroll to your state name and expand by using the “+” on the right side. Candidates should always review the current exam information on the ProV website before applying or testing.
Reference 6 shown in the bulletin is out-of-print. The link we are providing is to the current "active" textbook line replacing earlier motor control books.
Reference 7 in the bulletin has a link to a defunked web site. No newer versions are available outside of provided training course material. The link provided is to the last known printed version of the training module and contains E & I Drawings.
Reference 8 in the bulletin has a link to a defunked web site and is out-of-print. All NCCER book titles have been moved to training modules availble through course subscription (NCCER Module 40401-09). The content of this title is embedded in a course titled "Industrial Maintenance E&I Level 4".
We recommend that you purchase one of the reference books above to study for your exam. Each book is a comprehensive subject index to the NEC. They provide an even faster way to look up answers in the code and are far more detailed than the index at the end of the code book.
Reference #2 above contains practical applications of the NEC such as Ohm‘s Law, series/parallel circuits, voltage drop, load calculations, motor phases, impedance, inductance and math formulas you are expected to know. “Basic Knowledge” is covered in the exam but detailed subjects are assumed and not specifically called out in the bulletin.
A "calculations" book where you can drill yourself repeatedly is always a good way to remember the most basic math procedures. Generally, you won't have time during an exam to search for these procedures in a book.
