Tip #2 Questions in the Exam
When you go take the exam, one of the first objectives is to scan the test for all time wasting questions designed to confuse you.
Tip #3 Don’t Freak Out - Pass the PSI Exam
When you are sitting in for the electrical test you will see other people walking out of the test room sooner than you.
Don't let that freak you out.
- The test center administers exams for many other industries, not just the electrical one.
- Their exams may be shorter than yours.
- Even if another electrician is testing at the same time as you and finishes earlier than you, it doesn't mean he/she is smarter than you and has it all figured out.
Keep your head in the game. Focus on you and your training. The people that stay until the end of their exam have a better chance of passing than those who rush out of there.
Tip # 4 Finding the Answers in Your NEC
There is no such thing as opening your NEC book and magically finding the answer to your exam questions.
You have to learn how the book is laid out.
You have to know the chapters in it.
You have to learn to navigate.
You also have to build your knowledge.
