Worth the money

Great prep for the master's electrical exam. Here's my secret: Find the correct answer to each question in the code book, highlight it and when test day comes there will be no surprises. Passed with a 95 first time.

Passed the first time

I studied using this exam prep to point out my weak areas. It is more of an exam prep than a study guide, as it is mostly a bank of questions from actual exams. This book is not to train you on how to be an electrican, it is to train you on how to think like the exam so that you pass the exam. It also takes the time and care to point out the changes from the NEC 2005 to the 2008. I passed the practice timed final exam in...
