The official bulletin containing content (subjects covered in the exam), allowed time and test date scheduling are documented in the downloadable PDF files maintained by ProV. The bulletin is specific to your jurisdiction and trade. PDF files are accessed from the landing page button shown above. After going to that page, scroll to your state name and expand by using the “+” on the right side. Candidates should always review the current exam information on the ProV website before applying or testing.
QUESTION: "What is the difference between the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Handbook version?". As far as the actual NEC code quoted in the text... it's the same.
The NEC Handbook has additional diagrams, graphics and explanations inserted into the text (adding more pages and raising the price). It was designed for engineers and inspectors. The typical exam candidate should not use it as a preferred reference.
The books listed below may be allowed at the exam location as long as they have the original binding and no written notes. Read your exam bulletin and look for the "What to bring" or "What is allowed" statement for specific restrictions.
We recommend that you purchase one of the reference books above to study for your exam. Each book is a comprehensive subject index to the NEC. They provide an even faster way to look up answers in the code and are far more detailed than the index at the end of the code book.
