NOTICE:  For the calculations portion of the examination, Annex D in the NEC is a good source of examples.  There are no questions from Annex D contained in our set of questions.  Additionally, we give you a list of questions in our answer key that may apply to calculations. You will want to purchase a separate book that covers calculations in more depth like the one we recommend above.
