Actually both are important. Most cities and states that issue an electrical license require that electricians work in the field prior to qualifying to take an electrical exam.
These exams are authored in a manner that will require you to be able to translate the real life experience you’ve gained in the field into answers that correctly interpret and apply code and calculations on the electrical exam.
Yet the challenges you’ll face when answering electrical exam questions are very different from those you face in the field. For example, you pride yourself on going above and beyond the minimum code requirements for electrical installation. While that’s great for your customer and for your reputation as an electrician, you need to learn how to answer exam questions based on minimum code requirements, not on how you do the work in the field. What’s the best way to prepare to pass your exam?
Don’t expect to see exam questions that will evaluate you simply on how much knowledge you gained working in the field. Learn how to think the way the exam is written.
To pass your electrical examination you’ll need to know how to:
1. Use key words to locate code article answers quickly.
2. Answer questions that require the use of formulas.
3. Answer all questions within the allotted time.
