Tips on Passing the Master Electrician Exam

Being an electrician is not an easy job. It’s not just about connecting wires and fixing appliances. Electricians follow a Code and go through several tests to obtain a license. After all, they are responsible for the public’s safety and health, in the sense that the work they do should be competent. Licenses are there to guard the public and prevent unskilled people from performing the job.

The electrician’s license is a legal and formal document. It has to be renewed regularly, and inappropriate use can cause automatic termination of the license. Licenses of electricians who perform illegal or immoral jobs can be suspended or revoked by the government. In order to get this certification, you have to comply with requirements, which usually vary from one state to another.

Generally, you are required to have work experience before you can take a test. You should work in compliance with the law for a specified number of hours, and under a master electrician, who will then verify for your qualifications by signing an affidavit stating so. The state licensing board will then validate your credentials and afterwards, schedule an exam for you.

The exam is tough, especially if you don’t get ready for it. You will be tested on the NEC or National Electrical Code, any local electric construction codes and your knowledge of electrical theory. Written exams are open-book so you will be permitted to bring your copy of the most recent NEC and maybe other books such as the NEC Handbook, American Electrician’s Handbook, Ferm’s Fast Finder and others.

Bring whatever items are permitted. If you are permitted to bring a set of index tabs attached to your Code book in your state, bring one. Using it will save you a lot of precious time. You may also be allowed to bring pencils, scratch paper, calculator, and other test items. However, highly programmed electronic calculators that can calculate problems based on the NEC are typically not allowed. Using simple calculators would be fine.

Be prepared to do a lot of studying. In a year, study time of 15 hours a week is recommended. If you already have a journeyman’s license, then perform your work everything up to Code. For example, check out Article 358 and follow all Code requirements when running EMT. You will easily remember the answers to questions if you have already encountered and practiced it in your work.

Don’t trouble yourself with memorizing the Code. It’s unnecessary and most people can’t memorize it. The best course of action you can take is to learn the structure of the Code so you can immediately locate the answers. Instead of memorizing the whole thing, memorize chapter headings and learn how to use the Table of Contents and Index. Through this, you will know where to look for the answers right away, and thus save time for harder questions.

It is also wise to memorize the internal structures of some articles. Articles like 240 Overcurrent Protection, 250 Grounding and Bonding, and 430 Motors, Motor Circuits and Controllers are some of what you should study. Knowing the Code structure thoroughly will surely help you pass the electrician exam since it will help you pinpoint the right place to find the answer to questions immediately. Passing the exam is easy if you know where to find the answers in less time.
