You can test your knowledge as you go through the book.

Each chapter of the book begins with a basic explanation of the topic, followed by dozens of questions on that particular area of electrical work. THere are digrams to aid you in understanding the subject, and direct references to the latest National Electrical Code sections or tables that apply to the questions. The chapters cover practically all the subjects likely to be tested on the exam, including: electrical systems, utilization equipment, electrical calculations, electrical measuring and testing, branch circuits and feeders, electric motors and motor controls, electric services, special occupancies, distribution equipment, and transformers and capacitors.

Read each question and try to pick the correct answer. Then look to see if you were right. If not, review the NEC section cited and make sure you understand why the given answer was correct.

Once you've been through the book and can answer all the questions, it's time to take the practice test included in the back of the book. Take the test as though it were the real one. Give yourself the alloted time. Then grade yourself using the answer page included before the index. Any questions you missed -- go back to the chapter on that subject and review it again.
