Terminals that use wire-binding screws, or studs and nuts with upturned lugs or the equivalent, are permitted to connect conductors only up to what largest conductor size?
D — 10 AWG. Connection by wire-binding screws, or studs and nuts with upturned lugs, is limited to 10 AWG or smaller. Larger conductors must terminate on pressure connectors, solder lugs, or splices.
Finding it in the book: Chapter 1 → Article 110 (requirements for electrical installations) → 110.14(A). Index route: look up “terminals” and take the connection entry.

That is one of 15. The free readiness check spreads them across the exam topics and ranks what is costing you points.
Alabama's passing score is 75% - higher than most states' 70%. Ten unscored experimental questions are mixed in, so treat every question as real.
Open book per the current Prov bulletin (NFPA 70 2023 + American Electrician's Handbook listed as references). The exam is written knowing you have the code - the skill being tested is finding the right section fast and applying it under the clock. That's trainable, and timed practice in the real format is how you train it.
Exam details change. Always confirm the current format, references, and code edition with the official candidate bulletin before test day.
