Hi, I'm new to this forum, my handle is JEL54. I had my journeyman electrician's license a few years ago but I let it expire, now I'm preparing to retake the test; does anyone have any suggestions as to which is the best study guide for the test?

I know who the exam provider is and the content. I asked if they would recommend a study guide but they only said the test is based on the code book (DUH!) Thanks for the advice! What level electrician are you may I ask?Find out who the exam provider is and see if they provide any study or prep materials. I would also get the exam content / outline directly from the exam provider. In short, go to the source.
From a code standpoint, I would concentrate on the Article 100 Definistions, and mostly Chapter 1-4...
Wow! Fantastic link....thanks!Click on the link below for some practice exams.

Thanks for the advice S'miseI agree with xformer, reading the code book is the best advice. Just knowing how to look things up is the biggest thing.

I just recieved my study guide/code book and tabs yesterday....it's going to be a lot of work but well worth it!I just wanted to agree that the Dale Brickner-John E. Traister book was great. I used the Tom Henry book on my first go around. It seemed great, lots of grounding, voltage drop, motors, etc, but hardly any of that was on my journeyman exam. For my secound attempt I bought the Brickner\ Traister book. It had allo sorts of obscure questions that were hard to look up, and not so many calcs. This really seemed to fit well with what the testing agency was looking for. Passed the secound attempt with a much higher score. The testing agency btw was Thompson Prometric, they are kind of a pain in the rear, and seem to mostly be interested in wether you can look up a wide range of off the wall questions in the given time. For instance trolley wires = railways, electrical datum plane = marinas and boat yards.
