First, find out what hoops must jump through to obtain your license.
For example: To be a licensed Dallas journeyman electrician you must prove two things. 1. that you have worked in the electrical industry for X amount of years.
2. pass the journeyman electrical exam given by SBCCI.
That’s all the hoops.
SBCCI requirements for taken ether the masters or the journeyman is the ability to read. The AHJ determines who receives licenses.
Then all you would have to do is satisfy the local AHJ standards…
Strategy for passing the exam.
Go take the exam without preparation. Should you fail, this helps you focus on your weak areas, however, it mainly removes some of the exam anxiety for next time. In addition, who knows, you may pass it. They are terribly simple, however, the first time is not to pass but to experience so do not feel bad for not passing.
Sign up for a journeyman class at your local county college
Sign up and plan to take exam right after class is over.
Weeks before, pace yourself on studying the code using videos such as mike Holts.
Week before exam, take off from work. Really, focus on passing, study four six hrs a day
The morning before exam review that’s it, no more studying.
Get a good nights sleep.
Test day, have a good breakfast, arrive early at test sight.
Couple more things, mark your book, color it with highlighters, and tab it. Know the book. Also, study about testing techniques and that should do it.
Good luck
