The examination outline includes low-voltage systems, alarms, electrical signs, outline lighting, cathodic protection, lightning-protection systems, telephone systems, computer systems, sound systems, and communication systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart 1 gives significant attention to general electrical knowledge, installation requirements, services, feeders, branch circuits, grounding and bonding, hazardous locations, special occupancies, and special equipment. Candidates should be prepared to apply several related NEC provisions to one problem rather than relying only on direct code lookups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCalculation practice may involve conductor ampacity, demand factors, services, feeders, branch circuits, motor circuits, transformers, overcurrent protection, grounding conductors, raceway fill, box fill, and electrical power relationships. Candidates should practice identifying the applicable rule, selecting the correct formula, organizing each step, and checking the final answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe simulated practice exams included with this package help students become familiar with exam-style questions and timed problem solving. Practice results can reveal weaknesses in electrical theory, calculations, NEC navigation, residential systems, commercial installations, specialty systems, or New Mexico requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eOpen Book Test\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe New Mexico EE-98 examination is an open-book test. Candidates are responsible for bringing the approved references required for the examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe current examination bulletin identifies the NFPA 70 National Electrical Code, 2020 Edition, or the 2020 National Electrical Code Handbook as an approved reference. The 2020 New Mexico Electrical Code is also an approved reference for the applicable EE-98 portions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included course and code book are based on the 2023 NEC. Candidates should also obtain and prepare the approved 2020 references for the official New Mexico examination. Code language, tables, definitions, and technical requirements may differ between the 2020 and 2023 editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApproved exam-room references must be bound. They may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination. References containing handwritten notes are not permitted, and candidates may not write in their books during the examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePermanent tabs are permitted. Temporary tabs, removable flags, and Post-It-style markers are not allowed. Loose papers and additional attached pages are also prohibited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe NEC tabs included with this study package help students organize the 2023 NEC for course preparation. A compliant permanent-tab system can also be used when preparing the approved NEC edition for the official examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn open-book test still requires extensive preparation. The three EE-98 portions contain a combined 170 questions, and each part has a fixed time limit. Candidates cannot depend on searching the full code book from the beginning for every answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudents should become familiar with the NEC table of contents, index, Article 100 definitions, chapter organization, article numbering, tables, exceptions, informational notes, and annexes. They should also practice reading the complete applicable section because conditions, exceptions, table notes, and cross-references can affect the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eLicensing Steps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by determining that the EE-98 Residential and Commercial Electrical classification matches the work the business plans to perform. The classification covers residential and commercial electrical contracting and includes the electrical specialty work incorporated into the three-part examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIdentify the individual who will serve as the qualifying party. The qualifying party is the person whose experience and examination results qualify the contracting business for the requested classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGather documentation showing the required electrical work experience. The EE-98 classification requires four years, or 8,000 hours, of qualifying experience. Experience records should clearly describe the type of work performed, employment dates, responsibilities, and supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComplete the qualifying-party certificate application and submit the required experience documentation through the New Mexico contractor-licensing process. The Construction Industries Division and its licensing contractor review the application before examination eligibility is granted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter approval, schedule the required EE-98 examination through PSI. Candidates must complete testing within the eligibility period stated in the approval information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare for all three examination parts. Use the NEC overview and instructor-led course to strengthen code-navigation skills. Work through the Master Electrician Study Guide by subject and complete the Calculations Study Guide with the NEC and a calculator available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse the flash cards for frequent active recall. Attend live instruction when available and use recorded videos to revisit difficult calculations, code topics, or specialty-system material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTake simulated practice exams under timed conditions. Review every missed question and determine whether the difficulty involved a calculation error, missed exception, incorrect code location, unfamiliar terminology, or poor time management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew Mexico contractor applicants must also satisfy the Business and Law requirement by passing the approved examination or completing an approved Business and Law course. The trade and Business and Law requirements must be completed within the applicable licensing period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the required examinations and application steps are completed, submit any remaining business, bond, tax-registration, ownership, and licensing documents. Passing the trade exam does not automatically activate a contractor license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eState Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectrical contractor licensing in New Mexico is administered by the Construction Industries Division of the Regulation and Licensing Department. The Electrical Bureau oversees electrical code compliance, permitting, inspections, and related electrical standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe statewide contractor-level classification associated with broad residential and commercial electrical work is EE-98 Residential and Commercial Electrical. New Mexico does not issue a separate statewide license officially titled Master Electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe contractor license belongs to the business entity. The qualifying-party certificate belongs to the individual whose experience and examination qualifications support the company’s classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EE-98 qualifying party must document four years, or 8,000 hours, of qualifying electrical experience. The application must include accepted verification of the electrical work used to meet the experience requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA contractor performing electrical work must also employ properly certified electrical journeymen for the work being performed. The EE-98J Journeyman Residential and Commercial Electrical certificate is the broad journeyman-level electrical certification associated with work under an EE-98 contractor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EE-98J journeyman classification requires four years of qualifying experience. Journeyman certification is issued to an individual and is separate from the contractor license and qualifying-party certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew Mexico currently lists the 2020 New Mexico Electrical Code and the 2020 NEC as the adopted electrical standards. The code edition used for a training package and the edition approved for an official examination should be treated separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContractor applicants must complete the applicable trade examination and the Business and Law requirement. They must also satisfy the remaining contractor-license requirements involving business registration, tax identification, bonding, ownership information, and qualifying-party status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectrical permits and inspections remain part of the contractor’s responsibilities after licensing. A contractor license does not replace compliance with project-specific permits, inspections, adopted codes, and local administrative requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eReference Books\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNFPA 70 National Electrical Code, 2023 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe primary electrical code book included with this package.
