Which Wire Goes Where
A Quick Guide to 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.
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.

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.
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 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.
