Good luck but I doubt your preparation for this exam is suffice. You need to really get in there and study hard, and for many hours to earn an electrical license.
Taking the state licence exam tomorrow.
I took the county masters about a year ago. Failed by 13 questions. I was told it is better and easier to take the state contractors exam.
I go tomorrow to do this. Bought over 200$ of books. I am as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
I have spent time watching videos on YouTube in areas I am not familiar with.
I am not one to study. I am doing this because my company has a lot of customers and my boss won't be around forever.

It's an open book test. That price was the books to use during the test.

Are you sure?
I absorb information from hands on. I have learned how to navigate the NEC.
Tomorrow evening I will post my outcome in this thread.

. That fact alone , doesn't actually make it easy , lol ! I found it easier than I thought , but I did study my ass off and took a prep course . I knew way too many guys who I thought were more code savvy than myself , fail the first time . I wanted to make sure that didn't happen to me ! Good luck , relax and the index and table of contents are your best tools navigating the NEC .aftershockews said:

Yes, the course is designed to get you to pass, the CA course asked all sorts of questions about stuff I never use, ampacity of AL conductors or USE cable which I have never used. There were a lot of things that the only time I ever used was to pass that test and if I ever need it again, I will look it up.

Aftershock,
What part of the exam gave you the most trouble?
Has anyone here taken the Tennessee exam recently?

I think Florida and North Carolina are the hardest ones out there.
You cant go in without a prep course there.

NC is open book, but you can't take your own. They provide you with a clean unmarked book and 1 piece of scratch paper which must be turned in at the end of the test.
I sat for my unlimited the first time and failed by 7 points.
Sat for my intermediate and only missed 7 or 8.
So went from a 68 to a 92
I wouldnt have passed without the prep course and studying.
