Are you ready to take the next step in your electrical career by becoming a licensed electrician? Your years of field experience have provided you with invaluable knowledge, but passing the electrical exam is the crucial final hurdle standing between you and your goal. The key to success lies in translating your practical experience into a passing score on the exam. Let’s explore how you can achieve this feat.
Understanding the Approach
One effective strategy for tackling the electrical exam is to become comfortable with locating the answers to questions within the electrical code book. This involves identifying key words or phrases in the questions and referencing the corresponding articles listed by subject in the index of your code book.
Identifying Key Words
Let’s take a look at an example question:
“An apparatus that is capable of confining the vapors, mists, residues, dusts, or deposits that are generated by a spray application process but does not meet the requirements of a spray booth or spray room can best be described as which of the following?
A. Unlimited Finishing Workstation
B. Limited Finishing Workstation
C. Enclosed Finishing Workstation
D. None of the above
Solution: B. Limited Finishing Workstation
The key word in this question is “spray application.” By referencing the NFPA 70 index under “Spray application, dipping, coating, and printing processes, definitions,” we find our answer in Article 516.2 Definitions, which defines a “Limited Finishing Workstation” as an apparatus capable of confining the byproducts of a spray application process without meeting the requirements of a spray booth or spray room.
Applying Field Knowledge
Learning how to identify key words in questions on your electrical exam will empower you to leverage your field experience effectively. By understanding the code book’s structure and utilizing its index, you can translate what you’ve learned in the field into a passing score on your exam.
