Hi All -
I am trying to finish studying for the Electrical contractor exam. I am feeling confident about the exam. But certain topics are harder for me to understand. I was wondering if there is any resource that I can use with which I can focus on specific topics and make sure I feel confident about them.

So, for example - I just want to answer questions related to grounding/bonding - or Overcurrent protection; where can I find such a guide. I need this guide for 2017 version.

If anyone can share, I would appreciate it!

In addition to the Mike Holt publications in post #2, if you can find a copy of the NJATC's "applied codeology" book, it will be helpful.

If you haven't already, I would recommend getting a set of color-coded tabs for the NEC. They can speed up finding sections and articles that are of particular subjects like you mentioned.

Yes, Mike Holt has available for the 2023 NEC Code book a template properly designed and tabbed with a layout for tabbing your 2023 code book.
It is for the soft bound version.

Using the template and soft bound book and directions on the template and then, when "tabbed as outlined on the template you grasp the soft copy with your left hand-folding it in half will neatly expose all of the tabs for easy reading and quick referencing" how clever!

An additional note, the instructions state that "by starting to tab your Code book from back to front makes aligning each tab a SNAP!"

If you don't have a 2023 Code book, maybe it's time you did.

Ask for the C-US-4-CEC'S tabbing template. (See us for continuing education units)

Mike's always got something for everybody, it's his commitment. Often, I will use his 2005 text book for class room training here at my shop.
If you're really interested in working with electricity and planning to make a career of it, consider purchasing his Basic Electrical Theory textbook.
As a matter of fact I was just browsing through it yesterday and I think it's a valuable tool to have in your library of electrical books.

I always learn something from it because it's easy to read and has colorful images to help one grasp it's meaning.

Thanks for reading.
