Did you have to relearn a bunch if material just for the test that doesn?t apply to your current career?
And what is the deal with no references - is there a booklet of tables and so forth like the EIT (say twenty-mumble years ago)?
Most of the stuff on the exam I use just about every day. I'm always buried in NFPA 70, 70E, and 499. NCEES does give you a reference manual and applicable standards and code books that are in the exam.
