This exam may also include questions on the following subjects:
In addition to the trade-specific examination, you are required to pass the Contractor Management Survey Exam offered by PSI.
QUESTION: "What is the difference between the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Handbook version?". As far as the actual NEC code quoted in the text... it's the same.
The NEC Handbook has additional diagrams, graphics and explanations inserted into the text (adding more pages and raising the price). It was designed for engineers and inspectors. The typical exam candidate should not use it as a preferred reference.
The books listed below are NOT allowed at the exam location
We recommend that you purchase one of the two NEC index 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 subjects covered in the exam and are far more detailed than the index at the end of the code book.
Sample questions are sourced from the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Ugly's Reference (2014 & 2017 versions). A subject category index mapped to question numbers is included with the answer key.
Bookmarks have been added to help the user randomly jump to specific questions related to NEC Articles in the code.
