Tips on Passing the Master Electrician Exam
It’s not easy to be an electrician. There’s more to just fixing broken appliances and connecting wires. Electricians go through several written tests to obtain a license, and they have to follow a Code. After all, their work should be competent to ensure public safety and health. In order to guard the public and prevent unqualified people from performing such an important job, licenses are required.
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.

Normally, you have to have work experience before taking a test. You should have a specified number of hours experience working in conformity with the law under a master electrician who will sign an affidavit stating that you are qualified. Once the state licensing board verifies your credentials, you are then scheduled to take the exam.
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.

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 recommended that you also memorize the internal structures of some articles. Such articles include 240 Overcurrent Protection, 250 Grounding and Bonding, and 430 Motors, Motor Circuits and Controllers. If you’re thoroughly familiarized with the Code structure, you will be able to pinpoint the right page that contains the answers to questions immediately. With this help, you can surely pass the electrician exam.
