Hiya Folks,
Getting everything in order to build a courtyard wall at my residence. I
intend to extend a lighting circuit and hang a couple of fixtures off the
wall. The State of NM requires me to get a permit for the electrical
portion of the work (as they should I suppose). To get this permit, I
have to pass a small exam. They describe it as "the first 4 chapters of
the NEC code" and the "NM Electrical code". This is a closed book exam.
They are kind enough to sell me the NEC and NM Codes for $90 but offer no
study guide etc... for me to use. Should I fail the exam, I can re-take
in no less than 30 days. Has anyone got any advice on how to prepare for
such a thing (ie. just what are the 4 chapters in the Code Book?). I
really don't want to plonk down $90 so I can run 20 ft. of conduit (yeah,
I'm being cheap!). I suppose I can take it and then I'll know what sort
of material they are covering but I really don't want to wait a month to
be able to get this done.
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
