I live in MN and work for a company in ND doing work on both sides but mostly in ND. I could test for my MN master if I want to but I'm just waiting until the end of the year and doing the reciprocity from my ND master license. A MN journeyman, a ND master and a ND gas installer. You are right that if you want to take the master plumber test then you should have a desire to be amongst the best and not just yet another guy showing up for a paycheck. This is why I was asking the question "what is on the masters test?" I have looked up this issue on this site and other places on the net and I've found some talk that there are "business law" questions, and I've also come across talk there is a lot of isometric drawings, nothing too definitive, where I would know what it is I have to study that's different than the state and city tests. Whereas the other 2 tests are discussed ALOT in school. They don't discuss the masters test, I guess because so few people are interested in it? I don't know, it's just not discussed. They also say there is a separate "city test license" you must pass in order to work in Minneapolis, this test includes gas pipe sizing and I purchased a separate textbook for this. When attending union school they prepare you to take the state journeyman exam and they say it's based on the plumbing code book. To the 3rd year apprentice: I do know the plumbing code book thoroughly. But as I think about it, they get their funding from the monthly dues of their members, so if I keep paying those dues, it shouldn't matter to them? I guess I've been squeamish to mention to the union I would like to go out on my own, thinking it was a union vs non union thing. Good call recommending the union would have study materials.
