The files you will be downloading are grouped into one compressed, unpassworded ZIP archive file.  You should not need to download additional software to open the archive.  Most computer operating systems have built-in software that recognizes this type of file.

If you are unsure how to deal with file archives, do a YouTube search and include your operating system or device name such as “windows 11 extract zip files ”, “mac os 14 extract zip files” or “ipad os extract zip files”.

When you download the file, you should see “.zip” at the end of the file name.  The location for downloaded files in Windows is the "Downloads" folder unless someone has changed the default location in your browser.  A web browser on your computer is a program (also refered to as an “app”) which allows you to view web pages (examples: Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari)

Once you've download and opened your ZIP file, you'll either want to extract all your files into another folder or drag, with your mouse/trackpad, to a different folder on your computer or tablet.

The files we sell are not compatible with phones because the text would not fit on the display.  Our files are formatted the same as exam provider bulletins, licensing agency application forms and federal government agency regulations which is: letter size, 8.5 by 11 inches, portrait oreintation.

Our sample questions are contained in PDF file format which is generally readable on Windows and Apple laptops, desktops and tablets.  Again, no addidtional software is needed after you configure your device correctly.

A simple way to view or print a PDF file on your Windows computer is to right click on the file icon and choose “Open with”.  At the top of the list you should see the name of your browser.  If you want to make it the default program for opening this type of file, click on “Choose another app”, click on the browser name and check the box for “Always use this app to open .pdf files".

The content of our sample questions are based on the information published by various exam (testing) companies (PSI, Prometric, Pearson VUE, & ICC) or by a state‘s licensing board.  We provide links on our trade/license pages to help you find suppliers of books and federal regulations.  We also provide links to statues (rules and regulations) that are required study material for your exam, but we do not sell copies of those codes.

The source material for our sample questions is based on the books and editions listed on our specific trade license exam pages.  The last update period is shown at the bottom of the web page.  These pages are usually updated every six months or sooner based on the exam provider's or licensing agency's update frequency.

If you find that our web page is lagging behind an exam bulletin update, use our contact form to alert us and we will update the page and let you know if the version of our files are still valid.

We do not intentionally sell sets of questions that are older than current exam requirements.  If that accidentally happens, we will issue a full refund or replace your files for free.

When you order our Study Materials you will be provided with Sample Exam Questions.  Each set of study materials will present numbered questions in a multiple choice format, including True and False options.

The correct answers will be provided along with an index of where to locate the answers in the reference material (code book or regulation), as well as supplemental information used for clarification of an answer, as needed.  When applicable, at the end of the answer key, you will find a “Content Summary” outlining the subject areas that each jurisdiction‘s testing administrator recommends candidates study in order to pass their exam.

The Content Summary will also include helpful notes on alternate study references, similar or unchanged code versions, and/or subject exclusions, such as drawings or other material not found in code books or statutes.

Most of the study materials we provide also contain PDF bookmarks as a bonus feature to help you navigate the code book.  Bookmarks allow you to quickly navigate between chapters, article section numbers (NEC) or subject titles.

It is recommended that, when using the Practice Exam, you have a blank sheet of paper to cover the answer sheet and make notes as you study.  When you begin studying with the Practice Exam, first make an effort to test your knowledge by answering the question on your own.

Whether or not you have answered the question correctly, make an attempt to find where the answer would be found in the study reference. Hint: the answers should appear in the same order as found in the reference.  Once you have found the reference relating to the question, use it to verify your answer.  The faster you can find an answer, the more questions you'll have time to complete on the actual exam.

Most state licensing exams are OPEN BOOK, implying that memorization is not the key to passing an exam.  The ability to locate answers quickly is more useful than memorizing content.  We believe that, not only will our Practice Exams help you to become more familiar with the subject matter presented, you will also develop your skills in finding the answers quickly and efficiently in any reference.

In some cases, yes.  Read your exam bulletin carefully.  Some may say that you can bring any copyrighted, bound materials with no written notes.

We make no claim whatsoever (and it is not our intention) to duplicate any question seen on an actual exam.  If that were to happen, it would be purely coincidental.

If we find a correction that needs to be made to any of your files, we will email a notice about a new set of files being available and what changes were made.  The email will contain an new download link to the updates.  We’ll also reset your download attempts back to five (5).  You’ll have the option to stop these notices if you don’t need them anymore.
