Additional Recommended Books

The books listed below are NOT allowed at the exam location

1a.
Ferm's Fast Finder Index, 2017, IAEI
Buy at Amazon
1b.
Tom Henry's Key Word Index, 2017, Tom Henry
Buy at Amazon

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.

2.
Ugly's Electrical References, 2017, Jones & Bartlett Learning
Buy at Amazon
3.
Practical Calculations for Electricians, 2017, Ray Holder
Buy at Amazon

Ugly's References contain practical applications of the NEC such as Ohm‘s Law, series/parallel circuits, voltage drop, load calculations, motor phases, impediance, inductance and math formulas you are expected to know.  The "Basic Knowledge" covered in the exam is assumed and sometimes not listed as a subject. This book also covers subjects listed as "Calculations and Theory".

NOTE:  Regarding the versions of Ugly's Reference shown in the PSI bulletin: you should always choose a version that agrees with the NEC that you are using (as shown above).  Older verions of Ugly's are often overpriced because they are out-of-print.  This title can usually be found at a home improvement store like Lowe's or Home Depot in the same area where volt meters are found.
