Exam Details The Nevada C-42 Constructing, Altering or Improving Video Service Networks trade examination is administered through PSI for candidates authorized to test through the Nevada State Contractors Board. Exam: Nevada C-42 Constructing, Altering or Improving Video Service Networks Testing Provider: PSI Number of Questions: 35 Time Allowed: 1 hour Minimum Passing Score: 25 correct answers The examination is divided into three primary subject areas: NEC: 10 questions NESC: 2 questions Cable-General: 23 questions Cable-General is the largest examination category, accounting for 23 of the 35 questions. Candidates should prepare for practical topics involving cable systems, installation practices, cable routing, connectors, terminations, components, testing concepts, and general video service network knowledge. NEC accounts for 10 questions. The highlighted and tabbed NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 edition included in this package supports preparation for code-based questions. Candidates should become familiar with provisions that relate to communications wiring, cable systems, grounding, bonding, wiring methods, separation, and other electrical-code requirements relevant to video service network installations. NESC represents two questions. The National Electrical Safety Code is not included in this exam-room-approved package and is not part of the book allowed into the examination. Candidates should prepare for NESC-related concepts separately before test day. The one-hour time limit makes efficient testing important. With 35 questions to complete, candidates have less than two minutes per question on average. Strong technical knowledge can help candidates answer many questions directly, while practiced NEC navigation can make necessary code lookups more efficient. Open Book Test The Nevada C-42 Constructing, Altering or Improving Video Service Networks examination is an open-book test with designated reference material permitted in the exam room. The exam-room-approved reference included in this package is: NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 edition The included NEC is highlighted and tabbed to support quicker navigation during preparation and the examination. Candidates should use the prepared book consistently before test day so they become comfortable with its structure and the location of commonly used subjects. The National Electrical Code is a large technical reference. Simply having the book available during an open-book examination does not eliminate the need to study. Candidates should know how the code is organized, how articles are arranged, how the index works, and which terms are most useful when searching for a requirement. A useful exam strategy begins with identifying what the question is asking. If the question clearly relates to a code requirement, candidates can identify a key technical term, use the prepared tabs or index, locate the applicable article, and confirm the answer. If the question is primarily testing general cabling knowledge, searching the NEC may not be the best use of time. Because Cable-General is the largest exam category, the C-42 test should not be approached as an NEC-only examination. The highlighted and tabbed code book is an important testing tool, but practical cable knowledge remains essential. Licensing Steps The Nevada State Contractors Board regulates the C-42 classification. Passing the C-42 trade examination is one part of the Nevada contractor licensing process. Confirm the C-42 classification. Determine that constructing, altering, or improving video service networks matches the type of contracting work the business intends to perform. Identify the qualifying individual. Designate the person who will satisfy the applicable experience and examination requirements for the license. Document relevant experience. Prepare records describing qualifying work involving video service networks, communications cabling, cable installation, routing, connectors, terminations, system components, testing, or related supervision. Prepare the Nevada contractor license application. Gather the required business information, qualifier information, experience documentation, financial information, and supporting materials. Submit the application. The Nevada State Contractors Board reviews the applicant's qualifications as part of the licensing process. Complete applicable background requirements. Follow required disclosure, fingerprint, and background procedures. Meet applicable financial responsibility requirements. Provide the financial information required for the contractor license application. Receive examination eligibility. Candidates required to take the trade examination can proceed with scheduling after authorization. Schedule the C-42 examination through PSI. Arrange the trade examination after eligibility is established. Prepare for the C-42 trade exam. Study cable-general subjects, NEC requirements, NESC concepts, and efficient reference-navigation techniques. Complete applicable contractor management requirements. Nevada contractor licensing also includes contractor management qualification requirements in addition to the trade examination. Complete remaining licensing requirements. Satisfy applicable financial responsibility, bonding, background, and other Nevada State Contractors Board requirements before license issuance. State Requirements The Nevada C-42 classification is designated for Constructing, Altering or Improving Video Service Networks. This is a specialty contractor classification centered on work associated with video service network infrastructure. The classification should not be confused with unrestricted electrical contracting. Candidates should prepare specifically for the cable and communications-related work associated with the C-42 scope. The examination reflects that specialty focus. Cable-General accounts for 23 questions, which is considerably more than the 10 NEC questions and two NESC questions. Candidates should therefore build strong working knowledge of video, data, and communications cabling concepts in addition to practicing electrical-code navigation. Applicants pursuing the C-42 classification must also meet applicable Nevada contractor licensing qualifications. Experience documentation should clearly explain the nature of the applicant's work and responsibilities rather than relying only on a general job title. Relevant experience may involve installing or altering video service network infrastructure, running communications cable, planning cable routes, terminating cable, working with connectors and system components, performing testing, or supervising related installation work. Passing the C-42 trade examination is not the only requirement for a Nevada contractor license. Applicants must also complete applicable requirements involving experience, contractor management qualification, financial responsibility, background review, bonding, and other licensing conditions. Reference Books NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 editionHighlighted and tabbed exam-room-approved reference supporting preparation involving communications systems, cable installations, grounding, bonding, wiring methods, separation requirements, and other NEC provisions relevant to video service network work. This package is intentionally focused on the book candidates can use in the examination room. Broader study references are not included in this product. The highlighting and tabs are intended to create a more organized reference for preparation. Candidates should still practice using the NEC regularly so the prepared sections and tabs become familiar before the timed examination. Exam Room Approved Books NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 editionHighlighted and tabbed reference allowed for use during the Nevada C-42 Constructing, Altering or Improving Video Service Networks trade examination. The NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 edition is the exam-room-approved reference included with this package. Candidates should bring their preparation together by studying the same code book they intend to use during the examination. Repeated use can help candidates learn which tabs correspond to major subjects, where important communications-related provisions are located, and how to move from the index or a tabbed section to a specific requirement efficiently. Please allow up to 15 business days for tabbed and highlighted books allowed into exam package orders. Test Information and Study Materials A strong C-42 study plan should begin with the examination weighting. Cable-General represents 23 questions, so candidates should dedicate a significant portion of their preparation to practical cabling concepts rather than focusing exclusively on the National Electrical Code. Develop strong cable fundamentals. Review cable types, applications, system components, connectors, terminations, pathways, supports, routing, testing concepts, and general communications installation practices. Understand video service network work. Candidates should be familiar with how cable systems and related components are installed, altered, or improved as part of video service network infrastructure. Practice NEC navigation. Use the highlighted and tabbed 2017 National Electrical Code frequently. The goal is to know where to begin a search rather than opening the code book randomly during the exam. Learn to use the index. Technical questions often contain words that can point candidates toward the correct NEC article or section. Practice identifying useful search terms and following index entries efficiently. Review communications-related NEC material. Focus on code provisions relevant to communications systems, cable installation, grounding, bonding, separation, wiring methods, and related electrical requirements. Understand grounding and bonding concepts. These topics can appear in code-based questions involving communications and cable installations. Candidates should know how to recognize when a question is asking about grounding or bonding and where to begin looking in the NEC. Review cable separation and routing. Communications installations may involve requirements concerning routing, support, proximity to other systems, and protection from damage. These are useful areas for both practical and code-based preparation. Practice timed lookups. With only one hour for 35 questions, candidates should develop a time limit for code searches. If a lookup is taking too long, it may be more productive to move forward and return to the question later. Know when the NEC is not needed. Many Cable-General questions may test trade knowledge rather than a specific electrical-code provision. Candidates should avoid unnecessary lookups when they recognize the question as a practical cabling topic. Use the highlighted sections actively. Highlighting is most effective when candidates understand why a section is important. During study, connect the highlighted language to practice questions and common installation topics. Learn the tabs before exam day. Tabs provide navigational shortcuts, but candidates should know what each tab represents. Practice moving from a topic to the correct tab without hesitation. Balance code study with technical knowledge. The C-42 examination includes only 10 NEC questions compared with 23 Cable-General questions. Candidates should maintain a study plan that reflects this distribution. Review weak subjects repeatedly. Practice questions can help identify whether additional attention is needed in cabling terminology, connectors, termination methods, installation practices, grounding, bonding, system components, or NEC navigation.
