| Electrical Repair Can Be HazardousSecrets on How to Pass the Master Electrician Exam
It’s tough being an electrician. It’s not as simple as fixing broken appliances and connecting wires. Electricians have to follow a Code and pass several tests in order to get a license. They have to perform competent work to guarantee the public’s safety and health. Licenses are there to help guard the public by preventing untrained and inexperienced people from performing the job.
An electrician’s license is a legal and formal document which has to be renewed regularly. Inappropriate use of the license can set off automatic termination of the license. The government can suspend or revoke licenses of electricians who conduct illegal or immoral jobs. Requirements have to be met before electricians are granted a license. Usually, testing procedures and requirements vary with each state.

Typically, work experience in accordance with the law is required before taking a test. Specific number of hours experience working under a master electrician is mandatory. The superior whom you are working with should then verify for your qualifications by signing an affidavit. After the state licensing board validates your credentials, the exam is then scheduled for you to take.
The exam is not easy, especially if you don’t prepare for it. Written exams test your knowledge of electrical theory, the NEC or National Electrical Code, and any local electric construction codes. The NEC is updated every three years. During exams, you are allowed to bring your copy of NEC (make sure it’s the most recent copy) and maybe other books like the NEC Handbook, American Electrician’s Handbook, Ferm’s Fast Finder and others.
Definitely bring in whatever is permitted. Your state may allow you to bring a set of index tabs installed on your Code book. If so, do that. Using tabs is a great timesaver. Also expect to be allowed to bring a calculator, pencils, scratch paper, and similar test items. Highly programmed electronic calculators that can solve problems based on the NEC are usually not allowed. Just use simple calculators.

Expect to spend a lot of time studying. About 15 hours a week for a year of studying should suffice. When you’re working with a journeyman’s license already, make sure to do everything up to Code. Example, if you are running EMT, check out Article 358 and follow all Code requirements. Your work experience will help you answer the questions in the exam.
Don’t attempt to memorize the Code. Most people can’t memorize it anyway and it’s unnecessary. All you have to do is learn the structure of the Code so that when you encounter questions, you can look up the answers immediately, because you know where to find them (what article, what page, etc.). It helps to memorize chapter headings and be proficient in using the Table of Contents and Index. By doing so, you can save time for the tougher questions.
Memorizing the internal structures of some articles will also help. Include articles 240 Overcurrent Protection, 250 Grounding and Bonding, and 430 Motors, Motor Circuits and Controllers in your study. Make an extra effort to thoroughly know the Code’s structure. Because you are familiar with the Code’s structure, you can easily pinpoint the location of answers and save time. This will surely help you pass the electrician exam.
