haskindm is correct, you need to pay close attention to detail on these kind of questions. I just found out the hard way that an 8.8kW (42.3amps @ 208V 1PH.)range can be supplied from a 40Amp branch circuit and a 40Amp cord. In article 420.10 the very last line states that the branch circuit for a range shall be in accordance with table 220.55. We had designed it with a 50Amp branch circuit, by using nameplate, and when the range manufacturer shipped the ranges with 40Amp cord and plug sets, we now have to change all of the branch circuit breakers to 40Amp. I suggested changing the cord to 50amp, due to a much cheaper install cost, and the inspector will not have it. He wants 40Amp branch circuits. If you ask me either case will meet code but hey I'm not the authority.
If you are taking the code test, I suggest skipping all the service calculation questions and go back to them at the end. They take up a lot of time and energy during the test and count the same as the very simple questions like, how often must you support EMT. Save them for last then go back and waste your time with as many as you can answer. Odds are you will not get those calculation questions right anyway. That's not to say it is not important to know how to do calcs as a contractor, by all means you should learn the right way, but for the test, do not waste your time and energy.
