so i am going for my test next month, and i have been studying the exam busters book. i have been really getting into the code part of this test. Other than the range demand factors i feel pretty darn good. its the practical part of the test that i am a little more worried about. i want to nail this on the 1st try. anybody have some good advice i am open to hear what everybody has to say! Thanks .

Yes make sure you know them because the practical is no book,at least from the old days.

Yes you can have a calculator,,a normal one ,but not an iPhone or something:laughing:

Make sure you read through all the paperwork they gave you about the test,Bang out all the easy questions first then go back to the hard ones and do them,when your done with the first part read through the mass amendments before they take your book,,,be confident you will do fine,,Good luck.

Johnny, Go see Leo Martin at the Martin Electrical School in Norwood Mass... He is the best of the best. He is even on the NEC board of code changes. I took him for the journey 1984 and Master 1990 exam prep and passed 1st time and I suck at tests.... best of luck

It's been about 9 years since I took my J-man test, but I took mine in Somerville on the computer. Open book, whole test. Basic, no-scientific calculator allowed. You can write as many notes in the blank pages as you want, nothing stapled in, but I glued in a very small version of the Tom Henry keyword lookup. Turned out I didn't need any of the notes. From just the repetetive studying, double checking the Tom Henry keyword index, and really tough pressure from co-workers, I flew through the test. If you know it, you know it.
Mass Amendments are found @ http://www.mass.gov/eopss/docs/dfs/osfm/cmr/cmr-secured/527012.pdf

Good luck, study, study, study (the index)

thanks for the feedback...i have been using the exam busters book and have heard from about three different people that this IS the book we need to come out on top.its just taking it one question at a time and not feel overwhelmed. kinda hard to though when your father is also in the trade!

What is the minimum cord length of a disposal?
I may have not worded it right, but that one I missed.
