NTP-UTC Time

I need some clarification on NTP UTC time. A lab (Not the CCIE LAB) asks
me to configure a router as a NTP Master and use the clock on my PC to set
the time. So if it was say 12 noon and I lived in the Eastern Time zone I
would actually set my clock 5 hours ahead and then adjust for daylight
savings. Then I would enter the "clock timezone" command and adjust it
back 5 hours???

Is the above the correct way to do it?

Then I have a second router that resides in the Central timezone which is one
hour behind Eastern. Do I then use the "clock timezone" command on the
Central router and adjust it back -6 to show correct time (assuming not
adjusted for Daylight savings)?

Specifically this example came out of IPEpxert lab 20-3 but I want to check
the solution. It is showing that I would do a "clock timezone CT -1" but
that just doesn't feel accurate! Seems like it should be -6!!!

Thanks,

David
