Week of Sept 21: Open book is not an advantage
"Open book" is the most misunderstood thing about this exam. Everybody hears it and relaxes a little. Wrong reaction. Open book doesn't mean the answers are handed to you. It means they get to ask harder questions, because they know you can look it up. The lookup IS the test. Here's what it looks like in the chair. You hit a question you know cold in principle. You open the book. Forty seconds finding the section. Another forty deciding which of two rules governs. Twenty more on a footnote you didn't expect. One question, a minute forty - and you got it right. Do that fifteen times and you've burned 25 minutes finding things you already knew. That's not a knowledge problem. It's not even a pacing problem. It's a navigation problem, and it has its own drill. THE TAB TRAP Most people prep their book by tabbing everything. Forty tabs, colour-coded, beautiful. Then under pressure, forty tabs is the same as zero - now you're searching your tabs instead of the book. Tab by decision, not by section. The question in your head is never "where is Section 12." It's "what do I open when a question asks me to size a conductor." Different thing entirely. Twelve tabs, max. Each one a decision you'll actually have to make. THIS WEEK'S DRILL: TEN COLD LOOKUPS Timer on. 60 seconds per lookup. Book closed between each one. Electrical - run these ten: 1. Termination temperature limitations (4-006) 2. Allowable ampacity, copper, in raceway or cable (Table 2) 3. Small-conductor overcurrent cap (14-104(2)) 4. Adjustment for more than 3 conductors in a raceway (Table 5C) 5. Conduit and tubing fill (Tables 6A-6K) 6. Overcurrent device rating for conductors, general use (Table 13) 7. Dwelling unit receptacle spacing (Section 26) 8. Motor full-load current, three-phase and single-phase (Tables 44/45) 9. Minimum bonding conductor size (Table 16) 10. Working space around equipment (2-308) Not electrical? Build your own ten off your trade's main reference - the ten things you'd have to look up no matter how ready you are.

Answers: 5 lookups, 90 seconds each
Rule numbers below are 2024 CEC, C22.1:24. Check them yourself - that's the drill. Q1 - B, 1.5 m. Rule 12-1010, maximum spacing of conduit supports. Subrule 1) splits it three ways: 1.5 m for 16 and 21 trade size, 2 m for 27 and 35, 3 m for 41 and larger. One rule, three numbers. If you tabbed "supports" you found it in fifteen seconds. If you went looking in the general wiring rules first, you lost a minute. Q2 - C, 14-50R, centre not more than 130 mm above the finished floor. Rule 26-744. The configuration is in Subrule 4), the height is in Subrule 6)(a). Two subrules of the same rule, and most people stop reading at the first one they find. That's why D is sitting there - right receptacle, invented height. Q3 - A, No. 6 AWG copper. Rule 10-114, Subrule 1)(a). No. 4 is the aluminum number, which is why D exists. Subrule 2) is the "unless the system conductors are smaller" part of the question - read the exception or you'll argue with the answer. Q4 - D, time-delay. Rule 28-302(2). This is the one that ate the clock, and the reason is structural: the answer isn't with the branch-circuit protection tables, it's in the motor section under overload protection, and 28-302(2) then points you at Rule 14-200 for the fuse type. Two places in the book for one motor. Navigation problem, not a knowledge problem. Q5 - A. Two rules again. Rule 2-316 is what requires the receptacle for rooftop HVAC. Rule 26-710 is what it has to be: Class A GFCI, its own branch circuit supplying no other outlets or equipment, CSA 5-20R, within 7.5 m of the rooftop equipment, not less than 750 mm above the finished roof, protected from mechanical damage. Option A matches all six. Every other option is one spec wrong - which is the trap that gets people on spec questions. You recognize the shape of the answer and stop reading. Kun went five for five in three minutes and flagged Q4 as his slowest. That's the right read. He got it right and it still cost him the most clock. The one that eats your time is your homework, not the one you missed.

Week of Oct 12: You can't look up the question
Two weeks on lookup speed. Here's the part that ruins people who get fast at it. Roughly half the questions on your exam aren't lookup questions. They're judgment questions - what do you do FIRST, what's the most likely CAUSE, which of these four correct-sounding actions is the one being asked for. On those, the book is not just useless, it's a trap. You open it anyway, because opening it feels like working. Ninety seconds gone and you're no closer, because the answer was never in there. The guys who fail at 64% are usually losing marks in both directions: slow on the lookups, and looking up the ones they shouldn't have. THIS WEEK'S DRILL: SORT BEFORE YOU SOLVE Twenty practice questions from your trade. Before you answer a single one: Step one. Read each question and write L or J beside it - Lookup, or Judgment. Ten seconds max per question, gut call. Step two. Now answer all twenty. Timer on, 90 seconds each. Step three. Book only on the L's. On the J's, hands off the book. Reason it out. Step four. Score it, then check your sort. Any question you called L that you actually solved from your head is a question the book would have eaten 90 seconds of. Post three things: how many you called L, how many were actually L, and your score. The gap between those first two numbers is the whole drill. Not electrical? Same exercise, your own reference. The sort doesn't care what trade you're in.
