Smitty’s Two Minute Drill Photovoltaic Systems 2017-7 A drill to help you improve your code skills and your ability to find answers in the code book. © Ted “Smitty” Smith 2016, 2017

Directions Left click on the presentation ICON located at the bottom of the slide directory to the left of the this slide or in the top menu under SlideShow. Each slide will transition to the correct answer automatically in 2:00 minutes. The correct answer will transition in 5 seconds. Do not worry about writing down the correct answer for now. You will have the opportunity to do that at the end of the two minute drill Good luck. REMEMBER: To have the best effectiveness, put this presentation in slide show mode and use the timers. This will help you get to 2 minutes per question. Do no worry about the answers until you get through the timed section. Following the timed section, the slides are repeated without time so you can look them up.
