    NEC reference cards ok to bring?

    Items need to be in a 3 ring binder, spiral bound or sewn bound like the kind you see with composition notebooks. No loose or stapled sheets allowed of any kind.  Best of luck!

    NEC reference cards ok to bring?

    I am providing you the instructions they gave me during my exam. Not worth the risk IMO. Knight1fox3 is correct. Follow the rules or live with consequences, your choice.

    NEC reference cards ok to bring?

    Loose sheets are not allowed. You will get kicked out of the exam room and your exam will not be scored.  If you really want them for your exam, photocopy them onto 8x11 and throw into your 3-ring binder.  In my opinion, you don't need these cards for your exam. Go ahead and study from them...

    How Many Months Should you Study to Pass? We asked our Students that Passed April 2017

    If you feel like you are burning out, take a small break. I normally took weekends off, but if I slacked during the week, then I made it up on the weekend. My schedule wasn't perfect, but you need to make it work for you.  Something I did was print off my google calendar from when I started to...

    How Many Months Should you Study to Pass? We asked our Students that Passed April 2017

    If you are trying to juggle work, family or anything else, then I highly recommend more than 4 months. I took 6 months going at a steady pace, 2-3hrs per night weekdays only. About two months leading up to the exam, I was about 4hrs a night  (8pm to midnight) after the kids went to sleep. Best...

    Signed up for the GT Course. Let's Go.

    Didn't see NESC or NFPA 70E in your list; these are easy points if you have the right references. Camara was useless, IMO.
