7 TIPS FOR PREPARING FOR YOUR LICENSE EXAMINATION The following suggestions will help you prepare for your examination. Planned preparation increases your likelihood of passing. Start with a current copy of this Candidate Information Bulletin and use the examination content outline as the basis of your study. The answers to all questions are consistent with the 2014 edition of the National Electrical Code, which the Board has officially adopted pursuant to its statutory authority to regulate the practice of electricians in Iowa. You are strongly encouraged to study the 2014 edition of the National Electrical Code in preparation for the examination. (Effective 1/1/2018 the 2017 edition will be used). Take notes on what you study. Putting information in writing helps you commit it to memory and it is also an excellent business practice. Underline or highlight key ideas that will help with a later review. Discuss new terms or concepts as frequently as you can with colleagues. This will test your understanding and reinforce ideas. Your studies will be most effective if you study frequently, for periods of about 45 to 60 minutes. Concentration tends to wander when you study for longer periods of time. NON-SCORED QUESTIONS Your examination contains non-scored questions. The use of such questions is an essential step in developing accurate future examinations. These questions will NOT be scored and time to answer them has been added to the time allowed.
