5.0 out of 5 stars Electricians- you can pass your licensing exam!, July 28, 2000

By	Steve Arne (Rapid City, SD) - See all my reviews

Mike Holt's Electricians's Exam Prep book is the guide that I have used for the intensive week-end Electrician's Exam Prep classes that I teach. I have found that this book covers all of the essentials that you need to study to pass your National Electrical Code (NEC) test. This book starts with a review of the math and theory essential to passing an exam, and then subsequently does a great job of covering the things that are difficult to study, such as code tables and calculations including services and motor circuits. Mike includes lots of explanatory diagrams and examples.

Another great feature in the 1999 edition is that Mike has included all of the answers in the back of the book, often including explanations or showing the work to reach that answer. In previous editions, that answer key was a separate $22 purchase.

This book would be of benefit to anyone studying for their National Electrical code licensing exam, whether at the Journeyman, Master, Inspector, or Electrical contractor level. (Check your state or city exam guidelines to determine if your exam will also cover local and state laws, business laws, etc.)
