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 or "what to bring" statement carefully 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.
Sample questions in this package are based on the six (6) books listed above (excluding Print Reading #6).
The package contains approx. 4,100 sample questions.
Additional bonus sample calculations for Ohm's Law and Series/Parallel combination circuits are included.
