which version NESC

[PE blues]

I bought the 2012 NESC by IEEE. Is this the correct book for the exam? There are tone of books that say NESC and by different authors and some for electricians etc.

The test uses the 2011 National Electrical Code (NEC) book. The test does not contain questions on the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC).

Even the NCEES practice test has a couple of questions on NESC, there would be a couple I would guess. I called the board, they told me 2012 NESC

I was incorrect (see above ^^).

I did not see any sample NESC question in my prep work or when I took the test and passed in October of 2012.

The 2012 NESC applies to this exam. I'd expect 0-1 questions on it though, but if there is one it will be very easy to answer with the NESC and a guess without it.
