Passed Master's in Florida

[grantcool]

Thanks for tips & advice, guys. I passed with an 85.
Some interesting stuff:
Test was given by Prometric.
I was suprised buy what WASN'T asked, for a master's exam.
And i can positively say that at least 2 of the multiple choice questions DID NOT provide a correct answer. Interesting......

Congrats! Tough test?

The test was hard, but probably 80% consisted of finding correct answers in the code book. (open code book)
To put in perspective, i had taped a small cheat sheet to the back of my calculator with formulas for:
voltage drop (all versions)
3 phase transformers (all)
Xc & XL & Z
RMS peak/effective
watts/volts/amps/power factor/efficiency
HP/watts
locked rotor current

At the end of the test I realized i had not used (or looked at) any of them. Interesting, huh?

Good Work!

Washington State has a master electricians certification, its a Journeyman + Administrator. An administrator is the person who signs permits and such. Its much more impressive to say I am a master electrician than administrator.

But in any case, its a worthy achievement, and will open many employment doors for you.

I have the same compliant here in Florida. The ICC certification for building official is CBO - Certified Building Official. However, Florida licenses CBO's as BCA's - Building Code Administrator.

CBO is way cooler than BCA...

Cool, Which County did you get?

Cool, Which County did you get?

Duval county. The surrounding counties recipricate, just a matter of paying their fees.

That can get expensive. Now that you have all of the confidence and knowledge in you from passing the Masters, you might want to consider taking the State exam.

Is there any advantage to that if I never expect to live or work anywhere else in Florida?

Congrats!!!!

how manyof the questions would say were "trick" questions?

by that I mean how many had distractors and how many questions just seemed set up to be asking for an answer that you would know but with a trick part to trow you off

 

[grantcool]

I didn't really notice any purposely trick questions.
However, as i said before, at least 2 of the questions did not provide a correct answer among the choices. (the absolutely correct answers were easily found in the codebook). I assume these are just mistakes from the authors of the test.
