I just signed up to take it, CITC only has administrator exam prep courses, nothing specific for the Masters, I cannot find anything online. Does anyone know of a prep course for the Washington State Masters License and or is an Administrator's license prep course just as good. Any help would be appreciated.

I got my study guide right here. Took the Masters Comp. Video course and passed with an 86. That was back in 93, bet the information at Mike Holt Enterprises - 888.632.2633 is still better than anything else on the open market!

Will anyone else verify this

Will anyone else verify this

Thanks for the reply,
I saw Mike Holts programs, dvds, books etc for the Master Exam, my question is:
Is that program good for Washington State?
Is it generic?

Any one else have an opinion on this?

The only difference between the WA Admin and Masters exam is the number of calculation questions.
If you go to the L&I electrical section web site, then under exams, find the exam content information, and you can see the number of questions for admin and masters
By the way its an open book exam and you can take any trademarked book into the exam with you.

Not many have taken the masters exam, just a few in Jan 07, but those who did had high passing scores, probably motivated to pass.
The CITC prep class should be fine. You may do as well with the Mike Holt exam prep material.
You need to be very, very good at calculations.

Mike Holts Masters exam prep. His questions will be very similar to what is found on the exam.
The hardest part of the exam is calculations.
Most take the test in two sittings. Knock out the NEC, RCW/WAC,theory, take the calcs as practice. Then the next sitting tackle the calcs. You can take the test three times before you have to wait a bit, see the wac on specifics
