If your in south or central NJ look up Tom Pernal http://www.pernalseminars.com/ or Joe Kempker http://www.kempkeredu.com/ both are good. If your looking for books I'd go with Mike Holt's Exam Prep, very good with many questions and calcs. and theory. By the way the best info in his book is in the front about how to take tests, READ IT.
I enrolled in ALAN CHECH'S EXAM PREP CLASS. He was regarded in high value from some test takers on this site and his credentials are very impressive. He does Elec, Alarms, and NJ busness law. He's 625.00 classes are 8 hrs evry Sat starting next week at the Ramada in Bordentown.You can send 300.00 dep and he will send you stuff via internet. I've taken 11 test's he sent and read all his emails with electrical data that he wants studyied. He also has told me to read the busness law book and Nafta 72 to become familiar with it. Check him out, and if your taking Oct 5th ,I'll see ya there good luck bro.

I studied from Mike Holtz prep course. 4 hrs a night for 4 months straight. DEFFINITELY, as stated before, read how to take the test. Reading the business law book, to me was soooooo boring, but it does work for some people. The fire code is laid out much easier than the NEC. GOOD LUCK!!!
Let us all know how you did!!

Make absolutely certain you read the introduction from Mike on how to use the book and how to take an electrical exam. That'll benefit you greatly.
Also, so what if it's a 3 hour commute? This is an investment that will undoubtedly benefit the rest of your life, and career.
Good luck!

I don't believe 2 and 3 are necessary....Mike will cover most of it in his Master exam prep kit.

Spend the 120-130 to stay at the hotel the night before. It's worth it, you won't need any more stress that morning. And one last thing ignore the other idiots that have taken the test 3,4,5... times before and fill your head with crap, do not listen to them. If you have studied you won't have anything to worry about.
