This study guide is organized to match the way topics appear on the Nebraska Electrical Contractor exam. Here is what is included in your download:
Use these questions alongside your National Electrical Code (NEC) book. Read a section of the book, then work through the related practice questions to check your understanding.
Each question includes a reference to the NEC article number where the subject is discussed. This helps you quickly review why the correct answer is right and reinforces the process of looking up information efficiently — a key skill for an open-book exam.
Bookmarks have been added throughout the study guide to help you:
Use the additional questions drawn from Ugly’s Electrical References to strengthen your coverage of general theory, ohms law and topics that commonly appear on the electrical exam.
Sample questions are sourced from the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Ugly's Electrical References (2014 & 2017 versions). 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: 2,055
The official exam bulletin is published and maintained by PSI. Bulletin content (subjects covered in the exam) and file names for PDFs change regularly. Always set your “favorite” or “bookmark” to the landing page we have linked above. Candidates should always review the current exam information on the PSI website before applying or testing.
Installation, alteration and repair of electrical wires, fixtures, appliances and apparatuses whose electrical current does not exceed 600 volts on new or existing structures which do not exceed more than three stories above the ground.
This exam may also include questions on the following subjects:
In addition to the trade-specific examination, you are required to pass the Contractor Management Survey Exam offered by PSI.
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.
We recommend that you purchase one of the two NEC index 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 subjects covered in the exam and are far more detailed than the index at the end of the code book. Most ICC exam locations will allow original, copyrighted copies as long as you don't add any of your own written notes.
