2nd period code exam Tomorrow
Writing my final code exam for second year tomorrow, any code gurus out there with some advice?
Service conductor and o/c sizing seem to be my weak points as most of my experience is commercial. The math is strong but the code is weak!

don't forget to look at the Appendix and when you think you found the answer don't take the shortcut, look at the other rules that are referred to in the rule, they can completely change the answer. and don't give up, maybe save the code section for last because it can eat up time fast.
oh, and good luck.
i write mine on june 15.

Yeah. What I did before a code test in second year was go to the modules and remember exactly which sections/tables I had to know for the test. When doing the modules, I usually just read the objective of the module then read everything in codebook that was relevant.
You have to be really careful with the math in 2nd year. I lost more points on regular assignments/even supervised tests with just dumb math errors.
I try to go in to the test with the mindset that everything I need to know I can take with me, so as long as I know where to look for it I should be okay if I forgot something.
