Failed my test rhe first time by 1 point. That was a steel toe kick to the crotch! Passed it by a mile second time around. Test is all about how well can you navigate the book. Id highly recommend taking a prep class. The instructors know what's coming and know how to prepare you accordingly. Strategy taught to me was when given the test go through it and only answer the basic questions you know off the top of your head. Second time around answer the ones your confident you know exactly where to find the answer. Leave all calculations to the end remember all questions hold the same point value but some can take 1 min some can take 30 mins. Never leave a blank answer. If you have to just guess it can't hurt you. Also take alot of practice test the more your immersed in code the better off you will be.

Your advice is spot on . I remember taking my masters exam years ago . Preparation and studying is definitely the key to passing the exam. Anyone who's planning on taking the exam put in the study time and you'll do fine if your unprepared you don't stand a chance of passing.

Codeology was one of my favorite parts of the union apprenticeship. Not only learning what the Code is, but how the Code works, how it is organized, and how to find what you are looking for. Writing what you are learning is one of the best ways to help you remember it. Great advice!

Love your videos man. That’s exactly what I’m doing in preparing myself for the master exam. Thanks for sharing how you went about it.

You have dedication and love for what you do.. it might sound crazy or excessive to some.. but it's a good thing. Having interest in something and being hungry to know why. That is what makes you great. Writing down.. best way to set something to memory.

Journeyman are all willing to teach you as long as you don't slow them down 😄 but this guy for sure has some kind of passion in learning and teaching that I rarely see with field guys. Thank you sir for your time and knowledge! You're awesome af!

Brilliant idea and highly smart means of going about it my friend good work !!!

I've done a lot of technical exams over the years, and I've found that practice exams are one of the most valuable parts of the preparation process. Even from the beginning, when I know that I don't know enough, taking practice exams helps get my head into the wording of the questions and answers. Then, as I gain information, it has a framework to fit into. Later, as I get closer to ready, taking a variety of practice exams will show me where I'm weak and need more effort. I've never failed, although there were a few close calls. I'm not a very good student either. But practice works. The coaches that pissed us off as kids weren't wrong.

Very much appreciated bro. Coming from an aspiring master electrician!

I appreciate everything you do. I look forward to every new video that you post. Please don't stop!

I just came across your channel...you are very knowledgeable in this field. I'm currently starting school for a one year training. Learning massachusetts codes and national codes, circut theory, electrical machine, and electrical safety. I been a industrial maintenance mechanic for 14 years..mostly in the manufacturing machines and systems. I know I will require a minimum of 4 years in the field hands on training under the supervision of a master electrician.. I already have a little bit of knowledge in industrial electrical systems like, motor controls, relays switches, automation, servos motors, plc, ac and dc power, three and two phase. But i know I still have alot more to learn. I can't wait to go for my exam and get my license. I'm also getting 2000 hours of credit. In massachusetts the requirement is 8000 hours before being eligible for state exam. I will be going thru all your contents so I can learn a few things to help me out on this journey..its my dream to become a license electrician. my background is in industrial maintenance mechanic combining that experience with a electrical license, will open alot of new doors and apportunities. Electrician will always be in demand. Thanks for making these videos.

Took my first Masters test in NY in 1969. Was messed with by “authorities” saying I wasn’t experienced enough. Had to get letters from 3 NY Masters verifying their confidence that I was qualified to be allowed to test at all. Try that when you will wind up competing with those same Masters. Was a challenge but passed. Second in Va in 1980 different but passed. Third in Florida in 2000. Florida has the roughest one in the country. Filled with many things I would never include in a electrical exam. Designed to keep the “riff raff” out. Unfortunately the “Good old boys” disease spreads in any state.

I took the Texas Masters test 17 years ago. In the few months leading up to the test I procrastinated studying for the test and at the last minute I rationalized that I wasn’t ready but I’d go take it anyway so I’d be better prepared to pass it on the 2nd try. Much to my surprise I received my letter in the mail saying that I passed. That’s not to say I’m some badass code guru, but the attitude and mindset that I had at the time helped me to not be a nervous wreck while taking the exam.

@@TexasCardShark that is true. The stipulation if I remember right was that you could grandfather in as a master if you could account for 20,000 hours working in an unincorporated area. To me it was a slap in the face to every electrician who was ambitious enough to take the masters test. There are lots of so-called master electricians in TX that probably couldn’t pass a journeyman test. I grandfathered based on that I had already taken the test adopted by the TDLR as the state testing agency (formerly known as SBCCI). But with the broad spectrum of professions that the TDLR provides licensing for (electricians, barbers, midwives, auctioneers, massage therapists, etc.) it’s obvious the state licensing program was just a money and power grab
