I think that anyone who passes the electrical exam should be proud and blow their own horn. It takes time, knowledge and a thirst to learn in order to take the test. When I went (Back in '84) the test was 4 hours long. 2 hours was open book and 2 hours was closed book. When I was sitting there waiting for the test to begin, several guys were there SCARED because they took the test 5-6-even 10 times before and they couldn't pass it. I guess I was lucky and passed it the first time. Only 30 out of 300 people passed that time. Now the test is 6 hours long! There a 1 hour part for NJ law and another part for fire alarms. I wish the best of luck for anyone who is going for the test.
