I have passed the ICC Journeyman (2002) and the ICC Master (2003) exams while in Texas.

I am relocated to NH now, and they want me to test the journeyman exam to become journeyman. I havent tested in so long that I am worried :confused:

I was bombarded with ads for test prep courses, but I declined. I am either going to know it or not. I spent a lot of money for trade school and time in the field.


Crossing fingers, Taking exam at 9am EST!!! :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Sean,

Did they give you any further information (i.e. length of exam)? I know that you are allowed to bring quite a few reference books with you for the exam. I had to re-apply for a license that lapsed and it was 20 questions and they gave you an hour to complete.


Good Luck
Joe

Well, just got back. I used every ounce of time they gave me. It was 2 hour 50 questions code, break, then 2 hours practical installation and NH rules.

Need 70% on both parts to obtain licensure. I am not so sure on the second part as it contained a lot of series/parallel circuit type of questions. I did my best, and used the ugly's reference book as best I could.

I will know in no more than 3 weeks if I passed :confused:

Florida is the same way, that was a very on-edge 3-4 weeks of waiting. Makes the good news that much better when you finally get it though. Good luck.

There was one thing that I am wondering about....

We looked at 5 boards that had some electrical installations on them (receptacle and box, etc).

We were supposed to find code violations on them. I was out of time and one of them stumped me because I did not see anything wrong :)confused: ). It was a single 15amp receptacle (NOT duplex) on a 20 amp breaker. I chose that as the violation because I remember something about that in the code book, but the proctor was literally standing there waiting for me.

Is that right? You cannot have a single 15amp receptacle on a 20 amp breaker? The other choices were code compliant (nmse supported within 8" of box, etc etc).
