Test Information and Study Materials

The New Hampshire master electrician exam is a timed open book test, so candidates should prepare for both knowledge and speed. A candidate who knows the material but cannot locate references quickly may struggle to complete the exam within the allotted time. A candidate who relies only on book lookup without understanding the subject may also lose valuable time. The best preparation combines trade knowledge, code familiarity, and timed practice.

Start by reviewing the 2017 National Electrical Code. Candidates should understand the structure of the NEC and know where major topics are located. Important study areas include definitions, general installation requirements, branch circuits, feeders, services, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, wiring methods, conductors, raceways, motors, transformers, special occupancies, and special equipment.

Next, work through the New Hampshire amendment documents. State amendments are important because they may change how NEC rules apply in New Hampshire. Candidates should organize these amendment documents clearly and practice finding them quickly during study sessions. Permanent tabs can help identify state amendment materials, major NEC articles, and administrative rules.

Master electrician candidates should spend extra time with New Hampshire Laws and rules Elec 100-400 and RSA 319-C. The master exam includes 25 administrative questions, making state rules a major part of the test. Candidates should study licensing definitions, qualifications, application requirements, examination rules, responsibilities, and regulatory procedures.

The American Electrician’s Handbook supports broader trade review. It can help candidates strengthen understanding of electrical systems, equipment, motors, controls, installation practices, and calculations. Ugly’s Electrical References is helpful for quick review of formulas, symbols, conversions, and field calculations that may appear in electrical exam preparation.

A strong study routine should include timed lookup drills. Choose one topic, such as service calculations or motor requirements, and practice finding the correct NEC article or table. Then repeat the process with New Hampshire rules and amendments. This approach helps build confidence and reduces the chance of losing time during the actual exam.

Candidates should also prepare their books according to exam rules. Use highlighting, underlining in pen, and permanent tabs where helpful. Do not add handwritten notes, loose pages, formula stickers, movable tabs, or Post-it notes. Keeping books compliant is part of exam readiness.
