• 2023 Master Electrician Flash Cards

Whether you’re preparing for a qualifying party/master-level exam track, leveling up from journeyman experience, or sharpening your command of code application for higher-responsibility work, this bundle helps you study with purpose. Instead of bouncing from topic to topic, you’ll be able to build a steady routine: learn the rule, apply it to a scenario, practice the math behind it, and reinforce the concept until it sticks.

This set is especially helpful for electricians who want to improve:

• NEC navigation habits (finding what you need quickly and reading it correctly)
• Real-world application (matching code language to installation decisions)
• Load calculations and sizing (working problems accurately under time pressure)
• Master-level judgment (how to think through “best answer” questions)

It’s not just more material—it’s the right mix of tools for daily progress. The study guides give structure and depth, the calculations guide builds step-by-step accuracy, the tabbed NEC supports faster code location while you study, and the flash cards help you keep key rules and concepts fresh between longer study sessions.

Exam Details

In New Mexico, construction licensing and trade examinations are handled through the Construction Industries Division (CID) under the Regulation and Licensing Department, with contractor examinations delivered by PSI. The PSI Candidate Information Bulletin for New Mexico contractor examinations includes the EE-98 Residential and Commercial Electrical examination as a three-part test. It lists the following exam structure and scoring requirements:

• EE-98 Part 1 (Commercial and Industrial): 80 questions, 75% required to pass, 200 minutes allowed
• EE-98 Part 2 (Residential): 40 questions, 75% required to pass, 100 minutes allowed
• EE-98 Part 3 (Specialties): 50 questions, 75% required to pass, 135 minutes allowed

The same bulletin also outlines key exam-day rules that affect how you should prepare, including calculator limitations and how reference materials may be used in the testing center. Candidates may use a silent, non-printing, non-programmable calculator during the exam. The bulletin also explains reference book handling rules (for example, reference materials must be bound; writing in references during the session is prohibited; and only certain tab styles are permitted). These details matter because they shape the way you should practice at home: building speed, reducing careless errors, and getting comfortable solving questions efficiently.

Open Book Test

The New Mexico contractor electrical exam bulletin states that the EE-98 examination is open book, and it includes specific requirements for how references may be prepared and brought into the examination center. Permanent tabs are allowed, while temporary tabs (such as Post-It notes) are not, and materials with added writing are restricted. This is exactly why smart prep isn’t just “reading the code”—it’s learning how to locate and apply the right rule quickly.

This Super Combo supports open-book readiness in a practical way:

• Study Guides help you understand the intent behind rules so you can recognize what a question is really testing.
• Tabbed NEC helps you develop fast navigation patterns during practice so you spend less time searching and more time answering.
• Calculations Guide builds step-by-step accuracy, so you don’t lose points to avoidable math mistakes.
• Flash Cards reinforce common rules and concepts so you rely less on searching and more on confident recall.

Even in an open-book format, time moves fast. The strongest candidates don’t “look up everything.” They know what to look up, where it typically lives, and how to apply it correctly the first time.

Licensing Steps

New Mexico’s construction licensing process is administered through CID, and examinations are coordinated through PSI as part of the approval and testing process. In a typical licensing journey, most applicants move through a sequence like this:

1. Choose your license classification/path based on the type of electrical work you plan to perform and the role you need to qualify for.
2. Complete required applications and approvals for the license or certificate path you’re pursuing.
3. Schedule the required examination(s) through the state’s authorized testing process once you are approved to test.
4. Prepare strategically by building code-navigation speed, scenario application, and calculation performance.
5. Pass your exam(s) and complete remaining administrative steps associated with your license classification.

This bundle is built specifically for the preparation phase—where consistent study habits and the right materials produce the biggest gains.

State Requirements

New Mexico contractor licensing and examinations operate through CID and PSI, with exam outlines and reference rules published in the PSI Candidate Information Bulletin for contractor examinations. Because electrical licensing pathways can include different classifications, parts, and responsibilities, the most reliable approach is to prepare for the core competencies that show up throughout advanced electrical testing:

• Reading and applying NEC rules to real installation scenarios
• Understanding services, feeders, and branch circuits from both a code and practical standpoint
• Grounding and bonding fundamentals and how code language translates to compliant work
• Overcurrent protection selection logic and common exam traps
• Accurate calculations with repeatable steps under time pressure

The better your fundamentals, the easier it becomes to handle exam questions that mix topics—like a scenario that combines conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and a calculation requirement in a single decision.

Reference Books

For New Mexico’s contractor electrical exam reference rules, the PSI bulletin lists electrical code references for the EE-98 exam, including the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and the New Mexico Electrical Code (NMAC 14.10.4) as part of the allowed reference materials for the exam. It also notes that reference materials must be bound, may be highlighted or indexed ahead of time, and must follow the exam center rules for tabbing and markings.

• National Electrical Code (NEC) 2023 Paperback with Tabs
  A tabbed code book built for faster navigation and efficient studying. Use it to build the habit of locating articles quickly and applying them correctly—an essential skill for open-book code-based testing and real-world field decisions.

Inside this Super Combo, the tabbed NEC supports a “work like you test” study style: practice finding what you need, interpreting the rule, and applying it to a scenario without wasting minutes flipping pages.

Test Information and Study Materials

This Super Combo is designed to be used as a system, not as four separate products. The most effective study routine is one you can repeat every week, even on busy work schedules. Here’s how each piece supports that routine.

2023 New Mexico Master Electrician Study Guide

This guide is your structured roadmap. It’s built to help you think at the master level: interpreting code language, spotting the real intent behind a question, and applying rules in the kind of job-site scenarios that separate “book familiarity” from true competency. Use it to organize your study blocks and build a predictable plan you can stick to.

Ideal ways to use it:

• Study one topic area per session (instead of trying to cover everything at once)
• Practice scenario logic: “What is the safest/compliant answer and why?”
• Identify weak areas quickly so you can tighten them before exam day

2023 Electrician Calculations Study Guide

When candidates struggle, calculations are often the reason. Not because the math is impossible, but because the process breaks down under time pressure: the wrong starting point, a missed step, or a unit mistake. This guide helps you build repeatable calculation habits so you can solve problems cleanly and confidently.

Use it to strengthen:

• Problem setup (identifying what the question is actually asking)
• Step-by-step execution (reducing errors and second-guessing)
• Speed through repetition (so you don’t burn time on math)

National Electrical Code (NEC) 2023 Paperback with Tabs

The tabbed NEC is your navigation trainer. It supports faster practice, cleaner lookups, and stronger “code memory” through repetition. Even when you’re not memorizing word-for-word, you’ll start recognizing where topics live—so you can find them quickly and apply them correctly.

Best practice habits with a tabbed code book:

• When you miss a question, immediately locate the supporting rule
• Practice finding common topics in under a minute
• Build a “chapter awareness” of where major concepts tend to appear

2023 Master Electrician Flash Cards

Flash cards are your daily reinforcement tool. They’re perfect for short sessions—before work, during breaks, or at night when you don’t have energy for a full study block. Consistent recall practice is one of the fastest ways to keep key ideas sharp.

Simple ways to get the most out of flash cards:

• Review a small set daily instead of cramming once a week
• Separate cards into “confident” and “needs work” piles
• Pair flash card review with a quick code lookup when needed

A strong weekly routine (easy to repeat):

1. Learn: Read a focused section from the Master Electrician Study Guide.
2. Apply: Work scenario-based questions and explain the logic of your answer.
3. Calculate: Practice matching calculation problems from the Calculations Study Guide.
4. Reinforce: End with flash cards to lock in the key concepts.
