The books listed below are NOT allowed at the exam location
We highly 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 are sourced from the National Electrical Code (NEC) and 2020 Ugly's Reference. A subject category index mapped to question numbers is included with the answer key.
Bookmarks have been added to help the user randomly jump to specific questions related to NEC articles in the code.
Total number of questions in this package: 1,268
