I'm not trying to start any rumors, just stating what I understand to be true.
In my opinion, in order to be a code quesiton, a problem must explicitly state the words "NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE" in the problem statement. I do not remember any of these problems on the breadth module. My memory is not very good, though, so if someone can find a problem on the NCEES sample exam in the breadth section that explictly refers to the NEC in the problem statement, please let us know and I will recant what I've stated. Otherwise I still think all the NEC problems were only on the power depth (and the NEC is only mentioned on the power depth exam specs so it would be awfully unfair of them to throw in a problem in the breadth module that requires a copy of the NEC).
However, as I attempted to point out in my original post, there may be problems on the breadth section or the ECC (or maybe computers) depth for which the NEC would come in handy, even though the problem statement does not explictly state "NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE". I think this is also the point benbo was making.
Again, please correct me with a reference to the sample exam if I am wrong! I'll try to remember to check the sample exam out of the library and check because I'm really worried now that I've provided misinformation.
