Tood them last year. The Resi is easy. It's based on the 62 pages of the IRC.
The comm. takes more time and is based on the NEC. If you do the practice tests, I think that will help. Also, if you have an NEC index that will also be helpful. Good luck. I don't recomend taking them on the same day unless you can sit for five or six hours.

just a guess but i would say international residential code, what juristictions are reconizing the international code?

 

[raider1]

Yes, the IRC is the International Residential Code. This code has an electrical section that is written by NFPA and based on the most current edition of the NEC.

Utah has adopted the International Codes.

HERE is a link to a map with the states that have adopted the I codes.

The 06 IRC electrical section is based on the 2005 NEC.

ICC no longer publishes the International Electrical Code so their tests are based on the NEC. I would assume that the commercial portions of the ICC test would be based on the 2008 NEC, but I would check with the testing center.

The NEC has a separate "key word index". I find it very helpful in accessing information quickly. It costs about $24.

The commercial test is all NEC. There is nothing in the 09 IRC that deals with commercial installations.

Yes, but the OPer did mention Residential and Commercial tests.

what is the purpose of taking this test. i mean is it required to become something

 

[WirenutGP]

I'd suggest that you take the ICC practice tests because it will help you understand how the exam questioned are formed.

Good luck
