THE WRITTEN EXAMINATION IS ALIGNED WITH THE MATCHING MASSACHUSETTS VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL EDUCATOR FRAMEWORKS. SOME QUESTIONS REQUIRE A SYNTHESIS OF KNOWLEDGE BASED ON THIS EXPERIENCE AND MAY NOT BE FOUND IN ANY BOOK. HOWEVER, CANDIDATES ARE ENCOURAGED TO STUDY FOR THEIR EXAMS BY REVIEWING CURRENT TEXTBOOKS AND REFERENCE MATERIAL WHICH CAN USUALLY BE FOUND IN THE LIBRARIES OF MOST VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLS WHICH OFFER CHAPTER 74 PROGRAMS.
You may refer to http://www.doe.mass.edu/cte/frameworks for the Massachusetts Vocational Technical Educator Frameworks.
THE FOLLOWING LIST OF REFERENCE MATERIALS WAS DEVELOPED AS A GUIDE
FOR WRITTEN EXAM CANDIDATES:
MACHINERY'S HANDBOOK
Industrial Press
TECHNOLOGY OF MACHINE TOOLS by Krar, Oswald and St. Armand
