Where does it live?
The code half of the exam is open book. The answer is in front of you. What runs out is the time you spend deciding where to look, so this drills only that.
The North Carolina examinations are open book on the 2020 National Electrical Code, and the state enforces the 2020 edition with its own amendments. This page holds no table values, but the sections it names are the 2026 numbers, so check them against your own 2020 copy.
The article level moves are concentrated at the two ends of the book: Chapter 1 took in load calculations from Article 220 and energy management from Article 750, and the limited energy and communications material was rebuilt across the 720s. Ampacity, overcurrent, grounding, motors and boxes kept their articles, and Chapter 9 is still the tables. What we hold on the moves compares the 2026 edition with the 2023 one, and the record does not reach a 2020 book, so it cannot tell you what any of these numbers is in the edition North Carolina tests on. Look each one up in your own copy.
A question appears in the wording an exam would use. You name the article. It is scored in seconds, because seconds are what you are actually short of.
Some of the wrong answers are article numbers that no longer exist. A few died this cycle. Others have been dead for years and still turn up in old study material. Those are the ones worth getting wrong here rather than in the exam room.
The 2023 to 2026 section crosswalk maps every section that moved, both directions, $29 once.
