I am taking the unlimited exam on Friday, and the biggest challenge I'm facing is determining which book contains the information needed to find the answers.

I've been making progress in narrowing down the books related to the questions, but I still have some outstanding questions that have 4 to 5 possible reference books I need to consult.

Does anyone have helpful tips or tricks to help me refine my search further?

Additionally, I’m struggling with calculations. I have this material with me, including sections on transformers, service calculations, etc.

Does anyone have advice on which calculations are most commonly featured in the exam questions?

I greatly appreciate any help as I need to get this test passed

Most exams have a couple of voltage drop questions. I haven't taken any that wanted me to calculate distance or load. So if you know the formulas for finding voltage drop and wire size, that should get you by. I doubt if you would be required to do an entire residential service calc., just brush up on your demand factors for different items; ranges, dryers, 4 or more appliances fastened in place. The biggest thing is learning HOW to take a test. Your exam has nothing to do with your skills and everything to do with knowing how to test. Don't spend too much time on a question. Mark it "C" and flag it. This way you can make sure to answer all of the questions. If you have time left, go back and check your flagged questions. There are several prep books out there. Mike Holt and Tom Henry have some of the best. Timing yourself on some open book tests will help. These questions are actual questions from proctored tests used in the past. When you find the answers, highlight them in your Code book. Good luck.
